Chey is just short of 8 months old and has gotten her third tooth in today. I can feel 5 more on the top just under the serfice and two more on the bottom. Her top gum is so sinsitive she wont even allow me to touch it anymore. She wont chew on anything hard anymore like her teething rings. If i feed her it has to be really soft foods. all mashed fruits and veggies. Ill usually give her crackers or maybe a chip or something every so often and now she wont even touch em.
I hate giving her meds but latly it seems thats all i do. She gets the baby tylonal every morning and night and origel two to three times during the day. I feel like im giving her too much but she wont touch a teething ring refuses to chew on her toys and i dont want to give her too much vanilla or whisky which is something my parents used on me. She just plays with ice it never makes it to her mouth. She has never touched a binky. Ive totally run out of ideas. Can someone give me any new ideas? I cant stand how much pain she is in. heaven help me if i can get her to calm down most of the time. Ive even gone as far as freezing on of her bottle nipples. I put water in a bottle with a stage one nipple and freeze it upside down then give her the bottle that she will only use one a day. more often than not she just rolls it around. Plz any ideas will be welcome. All i get from doctors including hers and two of my freinds kids doctors all tell me tylonal or origel.

Wow Aidan is 1 and is barely getting his 1st tooth! Please don't give her orajel! It's horrible for them. Its really bad for the muscle in their throat that are just starting to develop really well. Give her teething tablets. They're called hylands I think and are next to the binky's and bottles and all that. You can give her 2-3 every hour and are all natural plus they work MUCH better. If she wants to sleep alot let her! Its ok she's just worn out from all the pain! Good luck teething time is never fun!
try giving her a cold washcloth or even a frozen one...its still soft but cool which will make her teeth feel better good luck mama.....zwiebeck toast is a good hard thing to chw on and it tastes good lol
