New Dad needs HELP!!

[Blitz]

My parents rubbed whiskey on my gums, obviously, I was too young to remember, but they claimed it works..... This is merely a useless statement, not a recommendation. Good luck with the kid.

Both the Orajel and the frozen ring should work, plus I would also suggest to shots each a Vodka.


Wait not for the kid . . . . . . . for you

LOL!

Frozen icepops in the tube (those long skinny tube pops) dont open it just let her chew on it.

The light of my life is teething and gets up every hour between 230am-630am. I've tried Motrin and Tylenol (not together). Teething rings are not cutting it either!

And to think I had it made when she started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks!! HA! Laughs on me and Mom!

Any of you fellow parents have any tips?

OK, Fellow Jeeper - I've used this with 2 children and going to be a 3rd

Belladonna. For teething its an absolute life saver. It's safe, its herbal, the only side effect the wee one naps for a while.

This is the same stuff that is used at the Midwifery my wife works at and every client there uses.

It's found at your local natural foods store (i.e. like Mother Earth) -- its the best $6 you'll ever spend.

Me too.

I hope that you find something that works. I remember I had to take my first born for a drive to put her to sleep at 3 am once.

we found that Southern Comfort worked better than vodka!!

Good luck. The bad news is that as the kids grow up, so do their problems (and yours!!) Gotta love it!

frozen ring helped. About Oragel, a doctor mentionned to us that it hardened the gums so it made theeting a longer process. I dont know if it's true but we used it at a last resort. Patience is the key.

The orajel doesn't seem to work with the amount of drool that she's putting out. I'll try the icepops next

nylabones, they worked fantastic. Wait that was the dog. We did on one occasion found the boy with it, MOM freacked I was mad that I could not find the camera fast enough. Oral jell worked, tried the wiskey thing once MOM was not to pleased with me, but it did work. Just remember they come in one at a time. Have fun.
