Motrin and baby ora gel all the way....

My son is. He had got his two bottom teeth in at 41/2 months and he is 5 months now and working on his two top teeth now. He's relly good about it he only is fussy sometimes but is chewing on everything. I am so lucky! :) oh and breast feeding is getting scary because he bites sometimes.

My girl is 5 1/2 months and just got her first tooth. We bought a sassy brand mesh bag thing that you can put cold foods and stuff in for her to chew on and orajel and it really helped. Also, we put aero root cookies into the mesh bag and she loved it. She cried and didn't sleep for 4 days when it came in

Yes, Myla Bee started teething in November, cut her first tooth just after turkey day and the second one is almost through now. Poor thing is miserable and I feel so bad for her! Stupid teeth won't leave my poor baby alone. But it is super cute how she plays with them with her tongue (when they're not bumming her out)

My son was 4months when he got his teeth one day I felt in his mouth and he bit me and I noticed he had a tooth then the next day I went to look at it and another one was right beside it. I never noticed he got teeth cause he never fussed or anything it was shocking and exciting I think hid dad and I were more excited then him =] he starting teething since he was more he chewed on everything and sucked on his hand chewed his fingers everything and now he just likes to bite and suck on your arm or chew his finger =]. What I use for him is teething tablets and teething biscuts found at walmart they work great also a teething ring freeze it in your freezer they like the coldness on their gums also let her suck on a ice cube as you hold it my son loves it and I just do it once or twice a day and he's fine.

My baby boy has 2 teeth now. The first and second arrived without a fuss. I didn't realise the first had arrived, my sister spotted it! This week he has had red cheeks and been grizzly and irritable and drooling lots. Last night also vomiting a bit which my friend said can also be a teething thing (??). No third tooth yet but I presume it will appear soon (well, I hope so poor guy). Last night I gave him some panadol and boljella to settle him down. I also ate an icypole and let him suck on the other end of it. He loved this and got cranky when I tried to take it away to have some myself! lol

My son is 5 months and just got his first 2 teeth at the beginning of December! He teethed for about a month, but really wasn't very grumpy until the last week. He drooled a lot and chewed on everything, so the drool has slowed down some and the chewing isn't AS bad. I don't think there are any other teeth trying to come in- I assume it's because the teeth are still coming the rest of the way up. Sharp little boogers, too!

My daughter is teething also, no teeth yet, but she has been drooling and chewing on everything for a month now... from the hand into the mouth, Tylenol is working wonders for me.. although I have heard that Motrin also works well and lasts longer, I can not give my daughter that though as I have an allergy to Asprin and Asprin based products.. so I do not want to chance it :)

Hello there! My girl was born on july 1st and started to teeth at 3 months and still no teeth!! But i can say that if you in u.s., the highlands teething tablets work good. I have heard the oragel makes the gums tough. If it gets really bad tylanol. A cold, wet wash cloth works well too. Blessings to you and your baby this christmas season!

My lil girl has been teething for over a month now, she turns 5 months on the 20th. No sign of any teeth yet tho. Red cheeks, unsettled days n nights, dribbling and crying bouts. I find that teething gel works best, but if its really bad then infant paracetamol helps. Other times she finds sucking and chewing on my fingers a comfort(am constantly washing my hands so theyre clean for her)... wont b able to do it when she has teeth thru, hope she can hold a teether to her mouth by then! Good luck

Quoting Jeanetta:

My son is teething no teeth yet. his dr recommend the bitter biscutes for babies they are hard enough that they can chew on them as they massage his gums.
i was told that he was too young to give any teething medications too.

My son got his first tooth on Nov. 2 and the second tooth on Nov. 4. He is starting to teeth again so i know how stressful it is. I use the Hylands teething tablets and i also use Mylicon and the Hylands colic tabs. These seem to help because he does get gassy. I also put an ice cube in a wash rag and crunch it up so he can suck and chew on it. :)

My daughter started getting grumpy and it lasted for a week and she got her first tooth on dec 3 and then yesterday she got her second one:) She was 5 months on the 11th. My son was so much later then her it's nuts how different they are! Limit medications, they might become dependant on them everytime they feel sick/sore.

Good luck!

from 4 months you can use the gels. and normally they will be fussy/ grumpy/ chewing for a month or 2 before a tooth comes through. sometimes longer.

My little girl has been teething for a while. No teeth yet, but chewing on everything & non stop drool, not to mention pain! I use Hyland's teething tablets. They work wonders!
