gripe water helps with theething because sometimes the saliva in a teething baby is very acidic and will cause upset stomach...it will not help the pain in your babys mouth though...all natural tablets work well...even the ones at savon or cvs....my daughter was a mess when she was teething...motrin was the only thing that would REALLY cut the pain, but the tablets helped....goood luck...it is so hard to see your child in pain....especially pain that lasts so long...we threw a party when she cut her final tooth!!!!!!

Gripe Water is an herbal remedy with Ginger, Fennel and other herbs. It is for colic but is also thought to help with Teething. I am not sure why and there are no studies showing that is does help or not. However, there are studies that show that Chamomile does help with colic and teething. The teething tablets mentioned earlier have some Chamomile in them. You can also give Chamomile by steeping a tea bag of Chamomile (make sure it is only Chamomile and not a blend) in a bottle of formula or milk. Just put the bag into a warm bottle of milk for a few minutes. This is safe, and now a common, proven, recommendation by pediatricians.

I haven't heard of gripe water being used for teething, only for gas and colic. However I second the Hylands teething tablets suggestion. They also make a gel for the gums, but I have heard that the tablets work much better.
