this stuff: balm baby teething rub
https://www.amazon.com/BALM-Baby-Teething-Natural-Cruelty/dp/B00N3FYHA8
worked well for dd for soothing at nighttime.

also recommend the baby banana training toothbrush: https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Banana-Training-Toothbrush-Teether/dp/B002QYW8LW?crid=KXO0NW9IB5EP&keywords=baby+banana+toothbrush&qid=1536003222&sprefix=baby+banana+&sr=8-3&ref=mp_s_a_1_3

most everything else (as far as toys to gnaw on) she wasn’t into. sometimes a damp washcloth from the freezer to chew on was satisfying.

can i also say that i really wasn’t a fan of those silicone bead teething necklaces for mom to wear that look so great in theory. my hair would get caught in the beads, and my kid was more into pulling on it rather than gnawing. these (not my picture... wish i was that stylish)—

@highsteaks that banana toothbrush is so cute!

DD never liked specific teething products very much. Like @highsteaks, she would chew on frozen washcloths from time to time, but other than that she didn't gravitate towards one product more than anything else. Another thing we tried that was recommended to me was a frozen waffle--DD had a ton of fun chewing on one (when she was old enough for table food).

Don't get Sophie the Giraffe. It's so expensive and honestly just kind of stupid. It squeaks really loudly like a dog toy and DD never really liked it, and she most definitely never chewed on it.

We have a few of those frozen things, and I would freeze some breastmilk in those little mesh food holders and shed suck on those.

Seconding @emjohn517 that the mesh feeder is great. You can freeze breast milk in an ice cube tray and pop it in or just a regular ole ice cube and the feeder keeps them from choking.

DD did like the nuby icybite products. You can put them in the fridge and the liquid inside cools. The keys are the most popular but there are lots of others.

Also...Tylenol and Advil. Check with pedi about dosing guidelines.

@highsteaks Did you ever notice the bristles coming off the banana? I recall with my DS this is why I didn't go for it but it does look perfect and I want to try it with this baby.

With DS we often used the frozen wash cloth or frozen strawberries in a teether when he was old enough for solids. He actually liked Sophie although I thought it was pretty annoying to have the dog pacing around hearing the squeak. My DS was an extended chewer and took comfort having things to chew so we eventually switched to one of these which I totally recommend:

@honeybeebub the bristles were in fine condition when she eventually stopped using it, but she wasn’t a voracious chewer. did you hear of that happening?

DD liked this but it was about the only teething specific thing we had, she didn't struggle too much with teething thankfully. She wasn't that into Sophie either.

When DD was teething and wouldn't calm down or couldn't sleep, we used the Boiron Camilia Teething drops because they didn't have benzocaine in them.... Worked like a charm. I also have heard that Hyland Teething Tablets are/were popular but there was some issue with them when DD1 was teething... either a recall or an FDA warning or something like that... But I think it was resolved?
