Teething help...?

Question

My two month old is teething! I have no idea what to do because he's so little. He still can't hold things much on his own (he's just now starting to but it's just an every now and then for a few seconds kind of thing). I've heard teething tablets, but a few people told me kids were getting sick or dying because of them (?!) I've heard pickles and beefy jerky. Right now I just give him Oragel and I let him chew on my finger. He hates the teething rings you take out of the freezer.

Answer

Get a washcloth wet and freeze it. We used baby orajel and baby orajel teething tabs when my son was older. I use baby orajel brand only bc highlands has belladonna in it, which is a sedative. Make sure it's BABY orajel and not the regular. The regular has lidocaine which can numb them too much and affect their gag reflex.

My little boy starting teething at 7w, by 12w5d his bottom front tooth was through! I bough a dummy/pacifier, put it in water and put it in the fridge so it was freezing cold, put it in his mouth for him to chomp on!!! It worked wonders :))

Answer

I used the bright start teethe me pals silicone teethers. They are very dense and rubbery. I tried to bite one to see if I could break it and I could not, but they are very smooth and the little legs are the size of a baby finger. A thought they were just right.  They carry it at Walmart pretty cheap. I held it for him until he got the hang of it. I also used the hylands tablets. There was a recall because of concerns that the ingredients were not consistent from one batch to the next. It was a voluntary recall and they changed their process to fix it. There are a lot of rumors, but no proof that they hurt any kids. Every story I have read about seizures or something, the kid also had a fever and was given other meds like Tylenol so it's hard to say what caused it. Both of my sister's kids got into them and ate a whole bottle and were fine, so I am not concerned. They helped my baby a lot. Everyone has to make their own decision though. Good luck. Early teething is rough :(

Answer

My sis suggested cold baby carrots. They did seem to help, but are only safe before the teeth come through so they can't bite off chunks. They are good in a pinch though, or you try something like that inside a mesh feeder.

Answer

Clove essential oil is the best numbing agent I've ever had used on my teeth when I had my wisdom teeth taken out. Tastes bad but no pain whatsoever and no negative effects as long as u don't use a ton. Just a barely damp qtip rubbed along the gums will numb his whole mouth lol
