What can help with teething?

Answer 1

Frozen Teething rings, soft toys... Pretty much anything as long as it isn't too small to swallow. I even know someone who used a dog toy for her baby. Just make sure it isn't too hard, it can cause damage and make the gums bleed.

Answer 2

Several ways...

1. Gels are sold at local drug stores that ease the immediate pain. These usually harden the gums and make it more painful later on.

2. Whiskey rubbed on the gums will ease the pain without hardening the gums.

Answer 3

I used a variety of methods to relieve my child from the pains of teething.

Teething Tablets (Wal-Mart)

Tylenol (It works, but only very temporarily)

I also used a Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder. I put partially frozen fruits, like banana's, strawberries, ect inside of it, it works miracles. It tastes good to the baby, as well as giving it some taste, so the baby doesn't pull away from a bad taste.

Answer 4

During teething most babies get irritable, become inactive or even lose proper appetite. In most cases the gums might become swollen with the onset of growing teeth below. Hence try giving liquid food more and allow your baby to sleep more. To help alleviate your baby's teething pain give Nurofen. Also a teething ring helps keep them active.

Answer 5

A fun way to keep your child occupied is to buy a cute toy for them to chew on as they teeth. There are also teething rings, and another good idea would be to make cold drinks to numb the pain.

Answer 6

Put a washcloth in the freezer for like a half an hour and give it to him/her to chew on.
