I know this has probably been asked but all I find is teething toys and baby orajel. I was wondering if anyone has any homeopathic remedies or innovative ideas.
I hate seeing my little one suffer.....he sticks his hand in his mouth and gets very VERY upset when that does not ease his pain or his baby orajel wears off.
Any answers are appreciated! :o)

Dill pickles..
my mom used them with me and my sister.. i used them with my daughter.. my friends have used it with their kids when my mom told them to..
It has worked great for all of us.
There is dill in gripe water(helps soothe the tummy)
The pickle is cold(good on gums)
It is firm enough to chew for quite a while.
just cant give pickles to them once teeth have come in.. they chew off little bits and can choke on them..

My baby is teething as well and I give her these tablets, and they are homeopathic:
http://www.hylands.com/products/teething.php
http://www.amothersdreams.com/pd_luv_care_fruit_teether.cfm
also I have some "teething toys" they are called, you can freeze or just cool the soft platic end which is filled with water, and the baby can hold it by the hard regular plastic end. The cool part of the toy helps them relieve the pain from teething as they chew on it . So far these have worked for me :-)
Good Luck :-)

Give him the oragel and a teething tablet. The oragel gives the tablet enough time to kick in. They can be found in most grocery stores and drugs stores now. They are little white pills that dissolve immediately and are WONDERFUL! I wouldn't have been able to get through teething half as nicely as I did without them. If baby has an upset tummy with his teething, try chamomile balls. You can get them at health food stores. Both of them are fairly cheap too.

Jerky worked great for my daughter! We bought her the toughest jerky we could find, in a plain flavor. She would just gnaw away happily, and it would help cut the teeth faster, plus releive her.
Oragel wore off too fast, and she didnt like cold things for more than a minute or two. Jerky saved us all a lot of tears! Just give your child a big peice to hold and gnaw on. Make sure that it wont break off into little pieces, and obviously supervise so he doesnt choke. My daughter did great with it. Good luck!

ok what does an adult take for 'pain'? aspirin usually....however its not recommended for babies...give your baby/toddler some tylenol. also, at GNC there is a teething tablet (from hylands) that contains chamomilla...harmless and it realllly helps!
my first son suffered fever and sleepless nights until i found this. it dissolves in the mouth. you can also make some weak chamomille tea with a bit of sugar...room temperature is best for drinking. dont give the baby extreme cold or hot food or drink but you might let him bite on a cold carrot or celery stalk with your supervision. happy parenting! peace

beef jerky sticks... mildly flavored.. and confirm the newborn would not chew too a lot off. also.. freeze a washcloth. there's a kind of teething ointment.. i visit't imagine of the call.. yet its a red liquid... seek for it in the newborn aisle. also.. attempt to save infant keen about different issues. i know that sounds complicated... yet play a touch more beneficial... save his/her interest else the position. oh.. and get someone to exhibit screen the newborn for some hours so that you'll get a spoil from infant.. in spite of in case you basically loosen up at your position or take a snooze.. or bypass get a rub down... bypass figuring out to purchase.. some thing you may do by ability of your self! oh.. attempt massaging infant's gums gently besides

The homeopathic pills that I am using are called - Calcarea Phosph 6X. This is German make and I am sure you can get it where you are staying as I am getting them in India.
The next is giving your washed finger to the baby to chew on. That will help him. Helped my son.

my mother in law gave my daughter a stalk (would it be considered a stalk? i dunno...)of green onion. I know it sounds weird but it pretty common among hispanic families. She said something about it numbs her gums. It made her breath kinda stinky, but i'd trade her suffering for stinky breath any day... just cut off the very end and wash it well.
