My son had teeth by 4 months, so I have sympathy for you. The bibs that have teethers attached are good, or buy a thin teether than you can put in the fridge and then hold for the baby to chew on. An ice cube tied inside a wash cloth works well. I also used some drops purchased at the health food store, they were all natural, and worked well. Discovery Toys also has an awesome teether than is vanilla scented, my boys loved that one. Good luck.

Alright I could tell you to use a teether but some children don't like them. My child did not. Some will tell you to use the liquid filled cold or frozen and some will tell you not to because they have been known to leak. Some will say to put a damp wash rag in the freezer and then give to the child to chew on......there are some children that don't like those either. What I did because nothing else worked--TYLENOL!!!!! A touch of tylenol, I started out with about half of the reccommended dose and worked my way up as needed.
I know teething is tough but it will all be over soon.

Frozen waffle as long as they don't get any to eat or choke on it works great the coldness and the texture together babies love it. Ambesol works good too as well as the teething tablets. If it is in the middle of the night and they wake up in pain Ambesol works the best. And even a little infant pain reliever at night for the worst of it all.

Frozen or chilled washcloth to chew on, Humphrey's No. 20 (I think that's the number)- they are little tiny white "pills" made for this, and/or a liquid that comes in a long clear small bottle wrapped in white paper with black lettering called Cordial de Monet (it's sold in spanish stores or pharmacies in spanish neighborhoods). All of these work wonders. And there's always baby anbesol....

Oragel for babies is best for soothing a teething baby. If it's not available try applying butter in your baby's gums. my son is still teething and did this it helps soothes though. although results may vary.

Please by carefull with the honey. It is a natural antibiotic and isn't recomended for any child under two. But I used tylenol at night and teething tablets in the day. or just a wet wash cloth.

hey, first congrats... :)
See everything that is sold in pharmacies are good and help your baby, but................ in order to ease the pain, AND make the tooth come out smoothly and peacfully,
The BEST EVER is to put some little - (real) honey- on his/her gum all over not only the coming tooth... do it like 3 times a day. only little..so he/she won't get used to it and eat it all... so no effect.. 3 times, try, honey is the magical thing. and PATIENCE.

Theres these little white quick dissolving pills that are called Humphreys #3, you can get them in a drug store like walgreens, i used them on my baby and it worked wonders, dont worry they are tiny little things that dissolve even when you touch them.
