What is the best way to give the teething tablets?

Question

my son is 5 months and i just bought some teething tablets for him and it says you can put it under the tongue or melt it with a tsp of water and give it to them...which one would be better?

Answer 1

Put them under his tongue. They dissolve so fast, you won't need water.

Answer 2

I put them under the tongue or in my son's mouth one at a time. (he's 7 months)  They dissolve quickly so there isn't a risk of choking.

Answer 3

GIVE IT LIKE IT WAS CANDY, SO THEY CAN CHEW THEM UP, OR I USE TO PUT THEM IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF MILK AND LET THEM DISSOLVE AND LET YOUR SON DRINK IT, THAT WAY YOU KNOW HE GOT ALL OF IT.

Answer 4

Under the tongue, but let the one dissolve before you put the other one in if you give her more than one.

Answer 5

We started giving our daughter teething tablets when she was around that age.  At first we found it easier to put 3 tablet in our hand, put a couple drops of water on them until they start dissolving, then scoop it up with a spoon and give it to her.  When she started getting older we found it easier to just put the pills in her mouth, they don't always end up under her tounge, but they dissolve really quickly.  Sometimes we let her put them in her mouth herself - she is 13 months old now.  Good luck ;)  Teething is rough!
