Chase STILL doesn't have teeth (or any signs of teeth) and he'll be 1 on May 25th lol.
We kept motrin in the house as needed. It helps that's for sure. Also, there's this stress relief stuff. It's made from flowers but it contains alcohol. I use it occasionally for nursing if I am getting tense. It helps relax you so your milk will let down. Some people also used it on teething babies.
There's always orajel. :)
Your little one has water filled teethers right? THose are great! Same with teething beads!

I'm been trying to get her to understand what a teether is today. She prefers her fingers though. :rolleyes: At one point she shoved it in her mouth but then sucked it! lol.
I'm gonna go get some that you put in the fridge at the weekend.
What are teething beads? I've not heard of them before.

Yeah she'll figure it out. THe cold on their gums feels good so even sucking on it helps!

what is helping for my son is a John Deere corn teether (it vibes and sooths his gums)... and you can also try sticking a bottle of water in the ice box and let it get NICE and cold. then give her the bottle. the cold helps and its WAY cheaper and easier then those stinky teether gel things.
Oh I am smack dab in the middle of teething hell! :( Jack seems to cut like 4 teeth at a time and he has been sooo clingy and cranky lately. I usually wet a facecloth and then freeze it for comfort. Motrin works wonders too!!! :D

So far I've ordered some teething bead that Renee suggested, I've put cooled boiled water in the fridge and I'm gonna go buy her a facecloth so can have as her own.
Hopefully I'll find something that she likes. Poor little baby girl! :(
