  i use tylenol but my dr said no to teething gel and teething tablets. They are easy to OD your child on her said. I am more comfortable giving tylenol but i also have had training in measuring medications.

  Hyland teething tablets, frozen food in the little baby teething things. I got them on Amazon and instead of mesh they are silicon. I don't do Tylenol cause I'm not comfortable with that as a go to and I don't see much relief when I give it. And I don't do the gel cause I have read bad reviews, but I do want to try the hyland gel. LO has one of those giraffes but likes wood chewers too

  We love the Hyland teething tablets. I don't do tylenol unless she has a fever, and I haven't done teething gel because I was told (and maybe this isn't completely accurate) that it numbs the gum and that can make nursing a little tricky. We use frozen fruit in the mesh bags, frozen teethers, Sophie the giraffe, and something similar to the mesh bags, but has a plastic liner inside and the outside is washcloth material to put ice in. LOs favorite teethers are Sophie and the Ark teethers that are textured.

  Try giving a frozen damp wash cloth. That was always DD's favorite thing, not the gazillion teethers we have. I just kept a few on hand in a ziplock in the freezer.

  I have used the gel, but it's the natural one. I don't think it provides that much relief though. I use Tylenol when LO seems really cranky, especially at night. I haven't had to do that often though. He really likes his Nawgum Teether and Zoli baby bunny Teether.
