My son is teething but he is only 3 months old. should i give him a rusk stick?

Question

his bottom two front teeth are showing near the bottom of his gums... he is dribbling more everyday, crying randomly when in pain waking regurlary and feeding more...he has recently gone off food and health nurse says its all to do w/teeth coming through. he isnt on solids as he is only 3 months old..is it safe to give rusk sticks to him? i cant spend all day with him putting my fingers in his mouth lol has this happened to anyone else at this age? cheers

Answer 1

Not sure what that is...try baby motrin or tylenol. An anti-inflammatory should help internally. Ora-jel is short term but helps if you rub it on the gums. They make it for babies.

Answer 2

call your ped about baby orajel, it says to use 4 months and up, but it might help, also teething rings, frozen washcloth,colder bottles. i wouldnt give your baby rice rusks... 3 months is too young for that. oh and the teething tablets are great. and if it gets too bad ask your ped about infant tylenol.

Answer 3

FERR SHERR!!*(:

Answer 4

Let him suck/chew on a chilled washcloth.  Go get some 'teething tablets' from the store.

Answer 5

I'm not trying to be a smart alec but what is a "Rusk Stick?" My boy had a tooth at birth and has been teething since LOL. He is 14 months and has 8 teeth and working on 2 molars right now. I use Hyland's 100% natural teething gel. It calms him down and he drools a lot less when using it. Good luck to you!

Answer 6

At this age I used baby orajel, and let my daughter chew on her pacifier.  This seemed to help.  Plus, lots of extra cuddles and back rubs.

Answer 7

baby orajel and a wet cold wash rag help just let him suck or chew on the wash rag  

Answer 8

I used to put a wet washcloth in the freezer it helped with the pain, otherise the teething rings but not to cold you don't want to hurt him.  the teething biscuits work great too!  They are messy but worth it my two boys would chew on them and be very content for quite some time!

Answer 9

My daughter also started teething that early...I bought teething rings, zwieback toast, and biter biscuits...I also bought teething tablets from CVS, which I didn't even know existed! They work wonders thats for sure, and they melt in their mouths. Good luck!

Answer 10

WOW

3 months

u should talk to ur babys doctor

go to the store and buy a teething ring

(its a plastic ring with water in side)

then put in the freezer for about 30 minutes then let him bite it

Answer 11

im not sure what rusk sticks are but this works too...get a babywashcloth damp and put it in the fridge, when cool give it to your babe its easier to hold than a teether. also ask your doc if its okay to use baby orajel..it makes their gums numb

Answer 12

Yes, My daughter went thru the same thing when she ws 3 months old. Here are some ideas to try

* Frozen teething rings

* Frozen washcloths

* Teething tablets

* Also- If he gets in really bad pain ask your Pediatrician if he may have infants Tylenol....

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer 13

3 months sounds really young but go see your doctor he or she will tell you what to do my son love his dummy so that is what he would chomp down on

Answer 14

no- it's not safe- it's till considered food. take a clean wet washcloth andd put it in the freezer- once it's frozen let your little guy chew on it. those things are not reccomended until 8-9 months
