Anyone have help on teething?

I took our DD to the Dr on Thursday for her wellness check-up. She's growing really well, but she gave he Dr a shock. She is already teething, and she's not even 3 weeks old yet. Dr says it could take a while for the teeth to break through the gums. But our DD is so miserable and I can't find anything that helps her with her teething pains. Orajel and teething rings aren't doing any good. HELP please!!! What can I do?????

Re: Anyone have help on teething?

  • Awww your poor LO! Did your doctor have any suggestions for pain relief? I know Tylenol is usually used but not sure if it's used on a 3 week old
  • I'm not able to use any pain/teething meds. I'm not even supposed to use very much orajel. Not sue what to do...... :((

    My neighbor has a 3 month old and he's technically teething, but what that means (for him at least) is that he's a good 6-9 months from having a tooth erupt according to his pediatrician, but I guess the teeth can move around under the gums this early to get positioned and the baby is like, really drooly and fussy but that's the extent of it.

    Some babies are born with teeth. My mother was born with teeth and apparently back then they usually had to remove those teeth because they were bad.

  • I didn't know they can teeth that young! LO has been drooling like crazy and fussy. DH said it jokingly to me and I brushed him off

    From what I understand is that they can easily fall out and LO can choke.

    My cousin was born with 4 teeth. All his teeth came in super early.
  • DH and his father both had three teeth by 3 months. I am sooo hoping our boy doesn't follow suit
