I give him teething tablets, but I thought maybe there's something else that would stop him from doing this. Help!!

Use plastic crib guards and padding around and along tables. They need to chew not because it hurts but because sometimes it just feels better on their gums. Try a frozen wash cloth or even his favorite blanket. It will help take the tension off his teeth if he can gnaw. Mine has destroyed the railing on his crib since they dont make crib guards for the kind of crib I have, but I will remember it always. Blankets really helped too.

Teething rings. A frozen wash cloth. A pacifier if you agree with using them. Baby orajel. Also, if no other product works, some places like Burlington Coat Factory and Babies'R'Us sell these plastic pieces that attach to the crib rails, so when the baby does chew on them, they are at least not chewing on wood.

Poor baby is teething and he is going through so much pain. Get the plastic crib guard and the padded plastic thingy for the table and let him chew on them. My grandma once said "it is a blessing parents won't know how much pain babies go through when teething"

Also, if he uses a pacifier, put it in the freezer and give it to him after a couple of minutes. It soothes the sore gums.

This may seem bad, but you'll have to tell him no no, and pop his mouth, not hard to make him hurt, but enough like a small pat, just enough to get his attention, and he'll eventually stop. I would make sure he stopped though, because that can give him splinters I think. I had the same problem with my son. Though, it took him biting his grandma, and her screaming, to make him stop.

I agree along with your first answerer, do no longer fix the bite marks. in spite of the undeniable fact that I disagree along with your first answerer approximately fixing dents. The softer the wood the greater possibly it is going again out with water. If the dent is sluggish to return lower back out take a garments iron and set it to that's lowest STEAM placing and place some fabric over the dent and stick to the steam in short periods. The steam will soften the wood and permit it to spring lower back to that's unique type. you're able to could sand all of it the way down to make it in spite of the the remainder of the wood. yet this would possibly not artwork in case you have a varnish or Urithane coating over the end. i've got been fixing wood for years. as long because of the fact the ding isn't quite deep or a gash that has cut up the fibers, you stand a physically powerful threat of repairing it. nonetheless, with the bite marks, that's character.

take a damp wash cloth and put it in a freezer bag and freeze it (make sure it's not dripping wet). When your son starts chewing on stuff, give him the cloth -- he may like the cool feeling -

When my youngest daughter was 1 she used to bite on the entertainment center (it was wooden). I never understood why but we just kept telling her no or try to focus her attention on something else. She stopped on her own.

There's a fluid you can purchase that tastes really, really bad that you can apply to children's thumbs to stop them from sucking them. I'm sure it'll work on furniture as well. I don't recall the name, but your local pharmacist should be able to help you.

if you rub something really nasty (sour, bitter, hot) on those area, he will stop.
