Here are several suggestions for relieving teething pains:
1. Rub your baby’s gums with a clean finger or cool wash cloth
2. Give your baby something cool and soft to chew like a teething ring from the refrigerator, for example.
3. If your baby is very cranky or has a fever, acetaminophen (such as Children’s Tylenol, for example) will help. (Consult with your pediatrician or pharmacist for dosage recommendations)
4. Give your baby a bottle of cool water
5. Try over the counter teething gels containing benzocaine (use a last resort)

An easy teething ointment that you can make youself: 1 oz. vegetable glycerin, 2 drops clove essential oil. Dab onto baby's gums as needed.
No toxic plastics for baby to gnaw on, no hard numbing agents. Babies like the sweet taste of the glycerin as well.

Teething rings...or if you want something cheaper, how about frozen chopped carrots. I have heard that they are hard enough to chew on and the coolness would soothe the baby's gums.

My 8 month old daughter is teething and i find she loves to chew on green onions (washed and whole) and dill pickles, she likes the taste of both and there is something in them that naturally numbs her mouth.

They have these teething tablets at most drug stores that you put in their mouth, under their tongue that dissolves. It seems to help my baby and also Infant Motrin works better than Tylenol. Good luck!!!

baby orajel. it numbs it. or, put wet washcloths in the freezer to give to him/her later. my daughter also loves chewing on those foam letter things they make for the bath tub. it fits in her mouth better than those teething rings.
