teething tablets

I used a nice clean, peeled, frozen carrot. It had nutrients, it was cold, and my kids loved them! :)



Like others have said, the Hyland's teething tablets have been recalled here in the US. I've never tried them because I saw the ingredient Belladonna on the bottle at the store and thought "no way!" and moved on to the veggie section to get my carrots :)



edited to add: I also use baby motrin for night time so they can get enough relief to go to sleep without having to be constnatly sucking on something (the carrots).

I had a friend tell me she used them on all three of her children and they worked great. So when my lil' one started teething that is what I bought for him. They didn't work for him so for his Well baby checkup I asked the doctor y it didn't work. It just depends on the baby he told me try a cold wash rag or even tylenol. That will help ease the pain.

We are lucky here in australia they haven't been recalled. I was told they had no child proof cap on them and a child had got into them and overdosed on them (too much belladonna in one go - ok in little doses apparently) but they work well for my son. A friend of mine said it made her son hypo so It's trial and error with them.

They Hyland's Teething Tablets actually have been recalled b/c they contain too much of some ingredient. I don't remember the details. I'd research before giving your baby this product. I used it on my son before this and it didn't work on him anyway. Either does orajel, though. I'd recommend anything cold to chew on, like a cold wet rag. My son loved that.

They have been recalled, but i hear they work wonders! When my son started teething I went to the pharmacy and asked them about them and they said the work wonders but had been recalled. it may be a few months before you would see them on the shelves at the store

I would definitely say go with teething tablets. Also, Hyland's has teething gel that is amazing! I put it on my sons gums and within a few minutes it works.

I used teething tablets. to me they worked faster and better for my lo than orajel. I bought my lo teething toys and he would chew on those.

I use them for every tooth coming through- They don't have strong medication in them like Advil, tylenol or motrin so they don't make your child groggy and wacked out!! I have had friends that I reccomended them too as well but for some kids they just plain don't work.. as well when you are at the health food store get some all natural orajel- it has strong ingredients like pepermint and does wonders for a quick fix!! Other then that lots of ice cubes! you can buy a contraption that looks like a spoon and there is a mesh bag on the end so they dont get chunks so they don't choke- my daughter will not take teething rings as she doesnt like holding anything cold but the spoon is plastic and she loves them!! Hope this helps!!

I haven't used them but from what I've heard they work really well. Don't quote me on that though lol. I guess I'm not that much help... :p
