My baby is starting to teeth and she is only 3 months old. this is my
first baby so i am kind of clueless, Ive tried freezing teething rings
but they are to big for her mouth, Ive put her sucky's in the freezer
she likes that but it only lasts like 2 minutes. Ive giving her tempra
for teething and fevers. anyone have any other ideas? I feel so bad for
her she screams and screams day and nite coz she is in pain. and when
you feel her poor little gums you can feel the tooth trying to come out.
So anyone with ideas to help save my hair from being pulled out? lol
thanks

Take damp wash clothes and put in freezer and rub her gums with it

my son took to the wash cloth either, wet it and freeze it or rubberband
a few ice cubes into the center its easier for the littler ones to hold
on to the cloth. keep infant ibuprofen in him/her every four hours-
tempra never seemed to help my son.

never freeze teeth rings, they can break open, you are sopposed to keep
them in the fridge. tylenol or motrin will work when she is they are
really bothering her. i use to wet a face cloth in cool water and put
it in the freezer for a couple of minutes, not to long just enough to
make it cold, and let her suck on it. baby oragel only last for like 2
minutes and it probably numbs her whole mouth. i would try the baby
tylenol or baby motrin, shell sleep and wont be in pain. hope i helped
:wink:

my kids always liked those baby carrots, they were cold and hard enough
that when they chewed down on the it would help the teeth break through
the gums.

they are supposed to help them sleep to huh.....yeah i used those quite
a bit.
i also bout that infant toothpaste kit that came with the rubber piece
that fit on your finger, i would just hold him and run it across his
gums a lot of times he fell asllep when i did that.......flowerforyou

well i think that just may be all i got - my son is 14 months and still
cutting teeth..............flowerforyou flowerforyou :wink: :tongue:

Autumn take 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon of either kro or sugar and mix
well. get nice clean washcloth soak it in the mix of water and sugar and
lightly ring it out and give it to her she will chew on, it works well i
know

The baby is 3months old right? Sounds early for 1st tooth [but not
impossible]. Are you sure its teething? Are you seeing swelling in an
area of the gums? If not, it may the onset of a cold or gas etc.

Four Excedrin Asprin will do the trick. Dont even bother to crush them -
just swallow them whole, and your headache will go away in about
20minutes. The little guy will still be cranky though.
