Has any one used Humphreys 100% natural teething relief pellets? I want to try them instead of baby orajel. I'm just a bit leary because sometimes the natural ingrdients can be more harmful than the chemicals?

We use hyland's teething tablets and they work great! My pediatrician said orajel was a bad idea b/c it can numb a baby's gag reflex. I also use a teething feeder (those mesh bags you can put fruit/ice in) and so far have used refrigerated pears and peaches in it.

Use them all the time and many of my friends used them with their children, which is how I learnt about them. They are great.

I have used them. If you do use them, give them 2 at a time every 15 min then 2 every hour, Personally, I like clove oil. It is a little spicy to the taste but I rub it on their gums then breastfeed right after and it has a pretty good lasting effect as an added bonus, clove is a high antioxident and anti-viral/anti-biotic, Also with the teething tablets, don't touch them with you skin. Dump them right from the cap in to babies mouth!
