What would you suggest to help a teething baby. My little one is 3 months old and he is having the worst time with teething. I try teething rings and they only help for a few min. What worked for you when your baby went through this?

When my son was teething I rubbed "Baby Ora-Gel" on his gums. I guess they still make it & it did help him. I used to get it at Wal-Mart.

Yeah Baby Oral gel works but I didn't like putting that on my daughters gums all the time, So I would put thier teething rings in the freezer and let them freeze, that way they can suck on it for a while (buy the liquid filled teething rings.) And you can also get a wash cloth, wet it, put it in the freezer and let he/she chew on that, They can chew on that for hrs.

Try a frozen waffle for your baby to chew on. I also used the baby orajel stuff. Some Tylenol will help temporarily.

My friend did the waffle thing and her son started to choke because when the area of the waffle that he was chewing on got soft he gnawed off a pretty good size chunk and I guess it went down the wrong way, and he started to choke. So that's why I never tried the waffles, that scared me to death.

That's why one needs to watch the baby as he/she is chewing on it and as soon as it softens, turn the waffle over or give a new waffle. Because the waffle is frozen, the baby shouldn't really hold it because it is so cold, better you hold it and this way you can keep a good eye on it.

Thank you.

Hope all is well!
