Teething powders worked for me, not sure what brand you have where you live but Ashtons & Parsons worked for me.

I recomend WeeRascals Genuine Baltic amber teething necklaces. They are a traditional European remedy for baby teething, which have been used for centuries. A natural analgesic, amber will help to calm baby without the use of over-the-counter drugs and remedies. Wearing the Baltic amber close to the skin, allows the release of natural healing oils from the fossilised tree resin to help infants stay calm and more relaxed during teething.

They come in so many different colours and look amazing!

u can freeze a pacifier and give it to him. it works for my son and it works for my brothers gfs son. but there r gonna be times where nothing is gonna soothe him. u can give him a bath when chewing on something doesnt work and try feeding him (babies tend to want to feed more cuz they like how the breast or nipple of the bottle feel on their teeth). u can even try sticking ur finger in his mouth. they also have baby tylenol and orajel that u cann use on their teeth. but if nothin seems to help then u can just rock him and try to soothe him urself til he falls asleep.

We are having the EXACT same problem right now! The only thing that seems to work for my little one is I put cold cold water in a sippy cup and he LOVES it. The rubber and the cold together really seems to help. We also use the Orajel and Tylenol for him. But sometimes nothing is better then that sippy cup!

A dentist told me to rub a little benadryl liquid on the gums, it will last for 20 min. Also give a dose of Tylenol at the same time. It takes 20 min for the Tylenol to kick in. Talk to your health care provider for the right dose. I did this at night so we both got some sleep.
My kids all loved frozen zucchini rounds to chew on.

What worked for my little girl was that mash food holder. I'd pt something from the fridge in it (banana, water melon, etc) and she could chew it. I would change flavors. It's cold and she can't choke on it because anything needs to go through the mash first.

And nything cold to chew on really ... a corner of a cloth, soaked and frozen.
She liked to chew on the nose of a toy mouse, I soaked that and pt it in the freezer.

my little guy's favorite thing is fingers. lol. whoever is holding him he will grab their hand and start gnawing away. i use orajel every once in a while, but that seems to be the best. and little rattles and things...he prefers the really hard ones. he has never liked teething rings, and cant stand anything cold.

Amber Teething Necklaces!!! they are amazing.They are meant to be worn, not for any oral use, but those things really work.



I highly suggest them or at least looking into them a bit

teething pills. you can find them at your local walmart, or even CVS or pharmacy. they work miracles. If that dont work, then try a little bit of rum. i hear that works.

We use teething tablets too. They're a lifesaver, but I like Olivia's idea too. That works sometimes. For the most part, you just have to get through it! :(

I go back and forth between, teething tablets (all natural), orajel and then when things get real bad I use Motrin. I find orajel great in a pinch when the pain hits suddenly, or in chilly weather. Teething tablets are amazing, how ever for my son tends to give him a lot of messy diapers, so I prefer to use that when we are at home lol and then Motrin, especially on those evenings when it is real bad.







BTW, my son doesn't like cold teething rings etc, so I get creative in what I give him now. By chance my mum gave him her purse straps to chew on, they are real leather and he LOVED it!
