Terry cloth is great for teething because you can wet it down and stick it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes and then they go to town with them! They really are the best for gnawing on.





There really isn't a lot more that you can do, other than to just give him some TLC. Good luck and I'm right there with ya...my daughter is 8 1/2 months old and cutting tooth number 8!Is there any helpful advice on how to help a teething baby?
bongela on the gums
My babies loved a cold wet wash clothe to chew on. I wash it really good and put it in a zip lock bag in the freezer for a few minutes. Also remember that teething pain naturally gets worse at night, so ibuprofen 30 min before bed time. For really long nights you can alternate ibuprofen and Tylenol (check with your doc) Ibuprofen is given every 8 hours with Tylenol after the first four hours. Good luck! You'll survive!
A wet wash clothe with an ice cube tied inside it worked with my son.
Yeah, My Son loved the cold washcloth, but he also liked to gnaw on frozen fruits (like cut up bananas or grapes). There are these things you can buy that have a mesh bag attached to a little handle they can hold and you just put the fruit in the mesh bag and screw the handle on. It always helped my son. And if all else fails- the Ibuprofin or teething tablets work great as well. (you can buy the teething tablets or the thing to hold the fruit at Babies R Us- they ALWAYS have them in stock) :)
what i liked to do is give my children a cold wash clothe!!!! Some times I would get the wash clothe damp and the freeze it for the kids!!! this is what my great grandmother told to do and it works!!!
Freeze a wet washcloth and let him chomp on it. Frozen waffles are great for that too if he's old enough. The fingertip tooth brush can be very soothing to a teething gum as well. If the pain is so bad the baby can't sleep or is running a fever try giving him some baby motrin. Just avoid orajel or other things like that. They actually toughen up the gums and make the pain worse and last longer.
I would buy some teething toys or just give your child a cold or warm washcloth so they can put it in their mouth and suck on it a little and it will help.. It helped my nefew..
