Would/have you use/used whiskey on your baby’s gums?

Question

Just wondering because you always hear people saying to use it because we’re all fine and our parents used it..but I’m sketchy. Yes..I mean it doesn’t have all the chemicals that all those store bought things have it in and it is just a little tiny drop to rub on their gums but on the other hand it’s liquor.
Just curious if people actually try this.
The crying doesn’t bother me but I feel bad for my baby 😿😿☹️☹️

Answer

The best thing to give them is some infant Motrin and teething toys. A washcloth with a corner dipped in water and frozen is usually something they love

Answer

My husband has done it to our girl. His dad did it to him and so on. You arent dumping a shot down their throat, you are just dipping the tip of your finger in. Judge all you want but it works. So does Tylenol, frozen heather toys, or putting a wet wash cloth in the freezer

Answer

We used it for my son because he was really fussy at times. && He’s perfectly fine. But just do what you want. Go buy teething stuff or whatever 🤷🏻‍♀️ all up to you

Answer

no, even the tiniest bit of alcohol can hurt a baby. no way in hell would i ever do that

Answer

No Way would I.  My parents did not.  You are not even Supposed to use baby Orajel or the likes.  We asked our pediatrician and she said not to use it the first year at all.  That the best we could do was Teethers.

Answer

I've heard vanilla rubbed on the gum helps so I tried it and it seemed to work

Answer

I don't think there really is any need for pain relievers at all with teething. Teeth coming in is a natural thing babies and kids go through and it sometimes causes little discomfort but it seems people really overreact to its side effects. I would prefer just to use teethers and things like that rather than some type of drug.

Answer

I have read that even the smallest bit of alcohol can cause fatal toxicity in their tiny bodies so I’m just on the “why risk it?” side of things. If something were to happen like they fell into such a deep sleep that their breathing became irregular, SIDS is a concern. I would never forgive myself and would probably myself.
My son once shoved his fingers into his mouth after I used hand sanitizer on him and I flipped out. That’s 70% ABV and I wasn’t sure how dry it was, and he DEFINITELY acted different for like 30 minutes after that until he fell asleep for his afternoon nap. I was feeling like the world’s worst mom, wondering what was happening in his little liver/kidneys/bloodstream.

Answer

... I’m hoping this is a joke.
