Hylands teething tablets.....You can find them at Wal-Mart, K-mart - places like that. They worked wonders with my three and they are all natural.

Pray! I'm sure you've already done all this but you can try doing it all again (as long as your baby isn't getting too much of Tylenol). Don't overdo it but did you give a little baby Tylenol, put some numbing gel on her gums and something cold to chew or suck on. Make sure her diaper is super fresh since she is probably easily agitated. Just try rocking, singing, and holding her. You probably won't get one thing done today but hopefully she'll be able to rest. Good luck!

I always get a thumbs down when I suggest this, but it works!
Dip your finger in some liquor and rub it along the gum line. We bought a sample bottle of Jim Bean (or whatever its called) and the lady at the counter said, "Let me guess. You have a teething toddler." Its an old-time natural remedy that DOES NOT hurt the child. It just simply numbs the gums so that there isn't as much pain.

I bought her some teethers and they worked for a little while. Then I got a washcloth and put water and it , ( squeeze it to get most of the water out ) and froze it. and she really likes that.. then she got bored with that. and now she doesnt seem to get fussy at all unless im nursing her and then my nipple is her teether, and so far my boob has been the best. she doesnt leave any marks, and i just got used to it and expect it everytime.. she just waits for me to open my shirt and THEN her teeth magically bother her. I'd say the washcloth is the best. Good luck

Do what you do when you have an ache......give her some baby tylenol. Babies are little people and have aches and pains just like adults. You can also numb her gums with the alcohol or orajel. This is what I did for all of mine. Hope it helps.

Just hold her and give her things to chew on. She is in a lot of pain and there isn't much you can do. There are also some numbing tablets you can buy that work wonders.

I was going to suggest that Glenna so I gave you a thumbs up for it. LOL. Guess us redneck women think alike. I always suggest rubbing liquor on the gums it doesn't harm them any and then I suggest mom have a shot too so everyone is happy and relaxed.

Have you tried teething tablets?
I also heard gripe water works, you can get it at wal-mart.
There's also orajel for babies.
Maybe you can give her a little ice cream? Cold is good.
Try to do something fun, to get her attention off of her teeth. If she loves baths, give her one. If she loves walks, take one.

give her a frozen wet washrag to chew on - the cold helps the teething as well as the roughness of the washrag
