my son is 9 months and has 4 teeth on top too....i know what your dealing with but the only thing you can really do is just keep doing what your doing....maybe try putting some ice cubes in a bottle with water....it might be messy but my son loves it and since its just water and its so hot anyways i give him ice water alot. something else ive tried with him too is i got him a teething feeder and i cut up fruit in small enough pieces to fit inside and froze it...its also messy but it occupies my son for like an hour or so at a time...heres a link to what it looks like...its seems pretty durrable even with my son having teeth

Things like orajel and baby ambesol make the gums tougher for little teeth to come through. I agree with the other answer, rub just a tiny drop of rum on the babys gums.

Teething is a fairly short process. Maybe these 4 teeth are giving him a really hard time but next time it might not even bother him. You seem to be doing everything you can. Sucking makes it worse so make sure he is not doing much of that.

You should try giving him little teething toys. Or rub a little dab of rum on the teeth. For great advice talk to the pretty committee at echsgirls28@yahoo.com.

I used Hyland's Teething Tablets. They are all natural and disolve in baby's mouth. I have heard that they are supposed to help the teeth come in faster. My son did really good with them,and now that he is getting his molars I have started using them again and he is sleeping through the night again.

We used Hyland's teeting tablets. It did help, just be careful not to give him too many. They made our daughter sleep, but we could tell she was dreaming something (just by her movements/expressions). Wet wash clothes help, as does a popcicle (if he's experienced with that type of food). But sometimes babies just have a really hard time of it.

my son is teething also, i let him bite on an apple slice or i give him a sippy cup of cold water... basically anything cold will help him... Give it about a week and they should be al least through the skin and it'll hurt less,,,,, I also let my son bite on my hand ( the flat part by my pinky,, It's working but i gotta stop soon he's almost got them through and is close to breaking skin

give him a refrigerated waffle to gnaw on. I did it with my twins and it was the only thing that calmed them down.
