oh boy the teething starts!

[ummali]

my son has been lightly teething for about 2 months now but this week its crazy, he is always biting his hands, trying to put anything he can in his mouth. he slobbers like craxy and is really uncomfortable. I never remembered teething like this with my other two. I am using a homeopathic remedy which helps him sleep a little better. what other non medication remedy do you guys suggest to help my little guy with discomfort.

Have you tried Camilia (sp?) drops? I get them at Walmart, they worked wonders for us. Also, wetting washcloths and freezing them, then letting her chew at it helped at times.

i have four kids , i used to freezze facecloths theyd suck on them forever.

I second the Camilia,worked wonders for both my boys too. Plus it's all natural

My son was pretty good with teething bu my niece was pretty bad. Her mom used the Camillia as well and said it worked wonders.

Foam's also good for chewing (just make sure to check regularly so that no pieces have come off).
We have some foam puzzle pieces that Luna loved to chew on when a tooth was coming in.

The homeopathic remedy I use is camilia, I love this stuff. a little pricey but well worth it!
I have heard about using the face cloth but is it safe since he is only 4 months old...
Im gonna try the face cloths which will probably be easier to hold for him (hes always chewing on his blankets) than the teething toys.

Thank you for all the advice! I havent had a baby in the house in 5 years and I feel like I dont know what I am doing half the time all over again LOL. Although my son is completely different than my girls in everything!

Going through the same same - frozen face clothes work great as do Mr. Freezies -- I use a little pin to poke a few wholes (I don't actually open the freezie) and she can chew on it, get a tiny little bit of flavour.

I'm going thru the same thing, my baby has high fevers, won't take a bottle and is very irritable, plus his teeth look like they are coming in black? Any advice?
