Take a wash cloth, wet it, roll it into a stick shape and then freeze it. Give it to her frozen to chew on. The material helps cut the gums so the teeth come through easier and the cold helps numb the pain. I would keep 3-4 in the freezer at a time. Tylenol works better for the pain, ask your pediatrician for her correct dose.

I don't recommend using Orajel or any other kind of numbing gel. I used to work for a dentist and Orajel is the same as the numbing gels they use before giving Novocaine. When a baby is teething they salivate more. When the extra saliva mixes with the numbing gel and runs down their little throats, it then numbs their throats and makes it more difficult to swallow. Just an FYI, most people don't think about.

I know this sounds silly, but it has absolutely worked 100% for my daughter. Emma is 15 months now and has been using an Amber teething necklace for several months--since last summer sometime. I never thought it would work, but I figured I had nothing to lose. One of my friends who came back from Germany brought it over and showed it to me and had used it for her daughter who is now 3 and wore it until the age of 2 1/2. The natural oils from the amber are absorbed through baby's skin and help with pain, teething, drooling and are also shown to be associated with relieving other discomforts as well. They don't sell these here in the US--that I have found--in stores, but they are availabe to order online. This necklace is just for them to wear--not to chew on--and it doesn't break. You can recharge it by putting it in the sun every few months or so. If by some chance you need to clean you can wash it. Within 24 hours of putting this necklace on my daughter, she stopped drooling. It is incredible! I have listed some links that you can check out and find out how to order or get one. I hope this helps you!

I actually give my daughter popsicles. She is 5 months old as of yesterday and she just sucks on them and when the part she is on gets a little small and ready to break off I bite it off so she wont choke on it.

My daughter is 3 1/2 months and beginning to teeth. I'm trying to find something that might help us here. The frozen nuk worked for about five minutes but the crying continues. It's making me nuts! The oragel didn't do squat and I don't want her throat to numb. I'll try the frozen wash cloth next; maybe that'll help. Otherwise I'm trading her in. She's still under warranty, right?. LOL!
