Teething questions????

Question

i have a 9 month old daughter that has 5 teeth coming in at the same time. what helped your kids during this and is there anyway to help speed this up for her. she is a very pleasent baby but i feel so bad for her...

Answer 1

Give her pain killers, whatever syrup is available for children where you live. Don't bother with teething gels, as they come off more or less instantly. She might like a teething ring to bit hard onto. Expect plenty drooling and crankiness. It will pass, but good luck!

Answer 2

I feel you... my daughter had two bottom teeth at once and the four top at once.

Gumming frozen, not chilled, teething rings, biting frozen pretzels (like what they sells at pretzel stands but w/out the salt), chilled damp wash clothes, etc...

Answer 3

my son got 2 teeth at the same time at 6 months.  you can buy the self feeder and add frozen grapes.  it works great.  the mesh bag allows the juices out, but keeps the skins inside. you can get this at babies r us:

also use a damp wash cloth and freeze it.  my son loves cloth material on his gums.  If all else fails, baby orajel.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Emma got four teeth all at the same thing.  The only thing that helped a little was motrin.  It takes about an hour to kick in.  Otherwise just playing with her and giving her my constant attention.

Answer 5

teething rings, lot of fluids, carrying and cuddling her during times of discomfort might help.

Answer 6

tricks that work for my daughter are ice cubes and water in her bottle. she will chew on the cold nipple and the ice cubes fascinate.

Answer 7

Tylonel, teething toys, warm cloth to bite on...  helped my baby out
