I wouldn't quite know what the best teething option is as my little girl gave no signs that she was teething other then the drool. But there's this net thing that you can get from walmart and you put fruits in it and it helps with teething. You can also get a water filled teether ring and put it in the freezer for a few mintues. It's cool and they will like it. OR a simple cool wash clothe for them to chomp on is just as good

teething tablets help and putting their teething rings in the freezer then letting them chew on them. It helps numb the gums.

i WOULD FREEZE GO-GURTS AND THEN GIVE IT TO HIM...IT'S NO MESS AND HE JUST CHEWED ON THE PACKAGING...OF COURSE ALWAYS SUPERVISE HIM SO HE DOESN'T RIP INTO IT...IT WORKED FOR ME...

We use Hyland's teething tabs (which are all natural and are easy to give when having a fussy baby) and tylonal when he naps and sleeps other then that nothing unless he cries and looks uncomfortable. He also only takes his binki when he's teething so we put that in the freezer and let him chew on that because he stopped taking the teething rings. Hope this is helpful.

Rub the medicine right on the gums! And give them frozen peas. They're small enough that the kid wont choke, they wont make a mess, and they get to feed themselves! Teething tablets are also great!

I used Motrin with my son. He would not chew on the teething rings and HATED the orajel. We also had many of night where he slept in his swing because he got too stuffed up to sleep laying flat in his crib. That swing gave me some much needed nights of sleep.

I use Highland teething tablets, they are all natural and dissolve on the babies tongue, and they don't harden the gums like some of the gels tend to do which causes more pain in the long run.

teething tablets and tylenol. dont use orajel it makes their gums hard after using it and it makes it even worse for baby when the teeth are trying to come through!! also, we had a "Raz-berry" if you look for them on the internet or at a babies r us they are like a raspberry shaped pacifier that they just chew on and its rubbery my son never took pacifiers but he loved the raz-berry
