Ok this is not a joke what I'm telling you as I used it on my children. If you have some whisky put some on your finger and rub it on your baby's gums. Use the whisky when you notice she might be in pain. Trust me that amount on your finger won't hurt her. Also a frozen teething ring is great.

if your child already has teeth... be wary of the liquid filled teething rings... all three of my children literally bit them in half while they were teething! I did a few of the things on here... and yes I did dip my fingertip in alcohol too!!! (for me it was peach schnapps! ) That did do wonders at numbing their mouths for an hour or so! The other thing I did do was make formula or juice Popsicles for my little ones to gnaw away with. I used sandwich bags and filled the very bottom about half an inch high with liquid. threaded the top of the bag with string (about 5 or 6 at a time) and hung them in my freezer door to set. Once frozen, just rip one bag off, and turn the pop cycle on end, and the baggy will protect your child's hand from any dripping.... just watch them so they don't chew on the plastic bag! I also did frozen washcloths, and pacifiers too.

Earth's Best makes some organic teething biscuits that are as hard as bricks. It takes a long time to break them down. The only thing I do not see in your answer is nighttime teething gel. My daughter is teething also, I am using the homeopathic tablets, Tylenol and the gel at night. Hang in there!

my son started teething at 4 1/2 months old. We never had any problems with him even though he was getting them in 2 and 4 at a time. Last christmas at 14 months old he had 4 come in all within a few days. Now he is 26 months and has all his baby teeth in, I missed the last 4 coming in because he didn't complain, though the doctor said the rash on his face was possibly from the last of his teeth coming in at the same time again.
I bought teething rings for my son soon after he started teething, he liked playing with them and throwing them more than chewing on them, with one exception. We were visiting my sister in law the day he started teething, the 1st came in 2 days after and the 2nd 2 days after that. She gave us a teething ring from her 3 year old son, it had been sitting in the freezer for quite a while, it smelled frost bitten to me but he didn't seem to mind it in the least. It was an air filled rubber ring with short finger like pieces sticking out of the sides, six "fingers" each with a different texture on them. The other thing was this mini blanket the public health nurse gave us from her son, it had a different texture on each corner, each of the corners was a soft rubber piece covering the cloth. It is 100% machine washable and apparently comes highly recommended by dentists and other health professionals. Apparently it had won some sort of award for being such a great product. News to me, I just knew that my son loved it and it helped him with his teething. My younger nephew on the other hand gave my sister in law a very hard time, he is only 6 weeks younger than my son but he started getting teeth much later and at slower intervals. I can't even count the number of baby tylenol bottles she went though with him.
I suggest if you get a tething ring of any kind, make sure your daughter can't chew through it that the stuff inside can't come out, and that it is better to keep a couple in the fridge rather than keeping them in the freezer. I found the freezer was way too cold on his tender gums, but the top shelf in the fridge was just right.

Have you tried the teething rings that you put in the freezer? Or try a popsicle (just keep a very close eye on her). Keeping her distracted is the best way. Keep up with the tylenol or motrin. Good luck!

Frozen teething rings will do wonders! There are also at home things you can do, such as leave a slice of cheese in the wrapper and let her chew on that. Maybe give her a few bites of cold pudding or ice cream. Hope that helps.

Frozen washcloths, tylenol, a dab of whiskey on the gums, even a frozen carrot small enough to get in, but long enough to not choke on and mild flavored beef jerky (textured enough to chew, but won't choke) got this mom through 6 months of teething. Good luck and this too passes.

Put her Pacifier in the freezer for an hour or so then give it to her. The coldness of it should help numb the gums a little. Or you can also get a small washcloth and run it under cold water and let her gum on that.

Have you tried one of those cold teething rings you put in the fridge? You could also rub a cold washcloth on his/her gums. I think they make baby Orajel too.
Sometimes the only thing you can do is try to distract them from the pain by playing with them or snuggling...

I know it sounds a little much but get a small amount of whiskey or in my case Malibu rum and rub it on the gums of your baby. Sounds bad but I have gotten through 4 grandkids teething that way and it alleviates the pain for a bit and soothes Momma's nerves.
I have also heard a frozen bagel works wonders.
Ask your Dr before using Oragel. I have been informed there is a health scare involved.
