~Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree~


My little baby girl Isobelle is nearly 3 months old, and she already has a tooth trying to poke it's way though on her bottom gums.

I just wanted to know.. what age your little ones started teething...

I think my son started teething @ about 6 month, he's 10 month now and getting his third tooth in! We're going through "hell" right now!!! LOL
With him we are using Orajel Nighttime, it seems to work better. With our two girls, we used the teething tablets and they worked great. Just try out both and see which ones he can tolerate better! Good Luck

It's hard to say what would work for your baby. I had to try several different things sometimes. Here are some things that worked for us.

1. Baby Orajel
2. Teething tablets
3. Rubbing or Pushing my finger on the twins gums
4. They had fevers sometimes, so infant tylenol
5. When they got older, and could hold them, I used Popsicles.

My daughter started teething at 7 months, and she's now 1/0 months and has her front four teeth. I used oragel, and tyelonol, and we give her small ice chips that she sucks on and it numbs her gums w/o freezing her hands like a teething ring does.

mine started at 2 and a half months. So basically where yours is...we use teething tablets and that usually gets the fussyness under controll. We also got toys really early for her to just put in her mouth and chew on.

the oragel actually anoyys her. I don't think she likes being completely numb..however we do use the night time stuff to conk her out when theres no other alternitive.

Then theres always baby tylonal..thats...thats in emergancys, when were on total melt down ,theres no fixing it, mode. That rarely happens though.

I really like the teething tablets because, the kind we got were homopathic. I don't know why but..it made me feel better knowing it was safe at her young age. All the other medicine was like for 4-6 months and she started teething at probably around 10 weeks.

Aidan started to teeth around 3 months, altho the first tooth didn't actually break through till about 4-5 months.

We used Tylenol to relieve the pain.
Motrin at night, to help reduce the fever.

I tried teething tablets with the tooth that just came in this month.

We also put pacifiers in the fridge to keep cool for him.
And he also love sucking on baby washclothes that have been dipped in ice water.

I find manufactured teethers are pointless as he bites anything he can and not just those.

I tried everything but the tablets and orajel..
Wash cloths that were cold teethers.
It was awful she would have (and still does) like mental break downs from the pain and because of her teething it seems to at the same time cause a diaper rash (odd I know but it happens).

she has been teething since 2-3 months got her first tooth at about 6months and like 2 days later out of no where got her second tooth.
She is now 9 and a half months and now has her third tooth and a diaper rash ..
We use baby tylenol because her diaper rashes tend to get out of our control during this time no matter what and hurt her and she gets a small fever and it helps her sleep at night biggrin .

biggrin Her mental break downs are cute though!
