I use baby tylenol and baby oragel during the day as needed and baby motrin and baby oragel nightime at night. The oragel is only a quick fix, but normally enough to let the med kick in and help. Teethers find one your baby likes. And you can put them in the fridge too, not the feezer. My daughter only had minor trouble during the day so I worked with teethers, but before bed I gave her med to help her sleep better.

teething tabs! mine was miserable until we gave him the tabs. they work wonders.

I gave him tylenol at first when it got really bad, but i didnt want to give him medicine unless it was necessary so a friend told me about teething tabs and they are absolutely brilliant.

Hi you can buy a net with a handle on it from the supermarket in the baby section and you can but frozen fruit into it, kinder like a teether. Banana works really well, sorry forget the name of it.

Sabrina, what's the name of the vibrating teether? Where did you get it? My son doesn't have a lot of trouble with teething yet, but I think he'd love this.

they have pacifiers that are acutally called teethers...they sooth the gums and it stimulates the tunge too. switch between tylenol and motrin!

I use a teething binkie. You fill it with water and freeze it, then they can chew and suck on it and that helps. I use baby orajel and baby tylenol. I also have a vibrating teething toy and he just LOVES it the most.

teething gels actually just come off when the baby drools and the teething ring can casue a burn if left on too long.

Teething gel from your pharmacy and a teething ring which you can put in the freezer.

Try the Hylands teething tablets and some motrin. Does the trick every time.
