How can i help soothe my teething baby?

Teething remedies: Babies who are teething sometimes get pretty ornery. Chewing on safe, nontoxic cold teething toys or on an ice-cold wascloth can help. Also, some people find homeopathic teething remedies like boiron's camilia to be effective.

Frozen washcloths: Teething can cause discomfort, but should not cause extreme pain for babies. Frozen washcloths can help soothe gum discomfort. Gentle massage can also help. Teething discomfort typically only lasts 3-4 days- so it will be over quickly!

Gentle massage: Gently massage the gums with a terry cloth finger clot. Rubber teething rings also help.

Tylenol (acetaminophen): You can use tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Whatever your pediatrician would recommend.

Chew toys: There are a number of teething devices that can be cooled or iced. Popsicles and ice work well.

Homeopathy: In addition to my other colleagues' suggestions, hyland's baby teething gel may help. It's a mixture of several homeopathic remedies that you can rub on your baby's gums. http://tinyurl.com/lm2h9gh boiron's "camilia" product is also a mixture of homeopathic remedies (different ones from hyland's) http://camiliateething.Com/about/facts/ notably, they both contain the remedy chamomilla.

Ice chips. Tylenol (acetaminophen) : Ice chips help reduce inflammation n creates numbness. The tylenol (acetaminophen) helps them with the pain and helps them sleep.

Aloe Vera gel: Place aloe vera gelly that is for internal use on the gums and it will help with the pain and prevent infection.

Massage and cold: There are many over the counter products to chill the area. I like them better than ointment or cream , which can irritate many people. Massaging with a soft brush, or cloth can help.

Try: Oral topical anesthetic gels are usually ineffective. If needed use baby Motrin or tylenol (acetaminophen). You can also try chilling a pacifier or teething ring.

Let them chew: Chewing on something cold and firm is helpful. One idea is to give them a damp washcloth that as been frozen in the freezer to chew on. Commercial teeth rings that can be frozen are available as well. Teething is a normal process. I would avoid medication like painkillers unless absolutely necessary. Most babies really don't need them.

Teething: Children's Motrin or Tylenol may help. Check w your Pediatrician. Also gently massage the gums where teeth are trying to erupt. A cooled teething ring will also help. Make sure your child has 1st dental exam at time of 1st b'day. See a Pedodontist, a pediatric dental specialist.
