My 5mo old son is teething. When his teeth bother him he makes this funny face and looks like he is chewing. He's been pretty good, you can hardly tell. He only screams at night. What did you do to comfort him in the night? Can they have baby Tylenol for that? Baby Orajel doesn't seem to be doing the trick and Little Teethers doesn't work at all.
Orajel isn't good to give them, as it numbs their entire mouth and all surrounding areas. Hyland's teething tablets are AWESOME and natural, so I would try those first. Also, give him lots of cold things to chew on. The teethers where you can put food in them and they can chew on it without getting chunks are awesome. Conner loved chewing on frozed blueberries. Good luck!
I kept my son on infant tylenol around the clock turning teething times and then when he was able moved him to Mortin. I guess Mortin helps with inflammation according to my doctor. Good luck!
Hi K.. Try giving him some infant tylenol before bedtime. Give him half a dropper dose.(the dropper has two markings, I give him the smallest dose) My pediatrician recommended this advice and it seemed to help at night. During the day it was easier to distract him. My sister used a cold wet washcloth for her son to chew on, but my boy never did like it. Good luck! I'm dealing with molars with my son! Yikes!
Hi K., You should try Hylands (there's another brand too) teething tables. They just dissolve in water and they're all natural.
