Dr thinks my 6wk old is teething she crys sucks and drools a lot. don't have any baby orajel gma suggested southern comfort on gums to help sooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Southern Comfort: I would not give Southern Comfort to a baby. Nor would I recommend Oragel, she is too young for that. Six weeks is a bit early for teething. If your baby remains uncomfortable a lot you should have her Pediatrician examine her.
