When could I start giving teether?

sounds like you had a complicated pregnancy. good thing everything went fine in the end. hope you're baby is doing fine and healthy.

yup dear, I guess most second are born premature but was prematurely born because I was having pre-eclampsia beyond my knowledge because I don't check my BP that often and I was not yet schedules for the weekly check up. I am just glad that she was not put into an incubator or else I would have spent thousands of pesos though I chose to gave birh in a bigger hospital because I anticipated for some complications. I am just thankful that it was me who suffered some illnesses at least I could communicate with the practitioners. My baby doesn't have teeth yet but she is enjoying her teether.

i found this site: hope it can help you to decide[b]: Teething[/b] When does the process of teething begin? When a baby begins teething, there is no pattern as to when will the baby begin teething, how long, and how painful it will be. For example, one baby cutting a tooth might happen overnight without pain, while another baby might have to go through a long drawn out painful experience. You may sometimes visibly see a rise or lump in the gum for several weeks, while sometimes there may be no visible clue until the tooth actually appears. Teething often follows hereditary patterns, if your mother and father teethed early or late, chances are your baby may follow the same pattern. What are the symptoms of teething? The symptoms of teething may vary from baby to baby. Because of these different experiences, parents and physicians often disagree as to the symptoms of teething and how painful it is. The list below shows symptoms that a baby may experience. * Irritability * Drooling * Cheek rubbing * Diarrhea * Low grade fever * Chin rash * Disturbed sleeping patterns * Loss of appetite The Teething Solution! As "Winners of the National Parenting Center's 2005 Seal of Approval", we have carefully and uniquely designed our teether to ensure they provide a natural way as possible for babies and their parents to deal with teething aches and pains. As a step to show consumers how strongly we feel about The Je Je Therapeutic Teether, we have submitted our product for FDA clearance and after six months of review the FDA has declared The Je Je Therapeutic Teether as a safe product for babies to use for teething. Doctors state that when babies teethe, the best thing to do is to massage their gums with your thumb. Baby Vibe has come up with this therapeutical device that vibrates, creating a massaging sensation that comes as close to a natural way to helping babies with their teething just like rubbing their gums with your thumb to relieve discomfort. One of the comments that have reached us is from a Pediatrician Doctor: Dr. Robert E. Ryan III mentioned, "I have been practicing pediatrics for 20 plus years and have seen all sorts of efforts used by parents and relatives to help alleviate the irritation of infants teething. I have recommended frozen teething rings and over the counter gels. I have yet to see the ideal solution that works all the time. The "Je Je Teether" comes as close to an ideal that I have seen. It is a battery operated vibrating ring. The beauty of it is that babies can hold it in their small little hands and temporarily numb up the irritated gum sites of the teething pain. I heartily recommend this device to parents of infants as and adjunct to their already broad selection of teething pain relief remedies." Robert E. Ryan III, M.D. Ventura, CA. The Teether is a round device made of soft rubber and has three spokes and a center hub that houses the battery operated motor. There is a button in the center which activates the vibrations function for 7 minutes at a time, and the battery can be replaced once depleted, dramatically increasing the life of The Je Je Therapeutic Teether versus some of our competitors. Made from durable, colorful plastics, that are completely child safe, The Je Je Theraputic Teether will offer relief during all of the babies teething stages. The teether is sold with one battery, which last up to four months depending on usage, and replaceable batteries are available on our website. Baby Vibe hold two patents on this product which are the mechanical patent and the design patent. Please give our teether a try and see how much easier life can be with The Je Je Therapeutic Teether.

Hehe I found that device yesterday in SM Makati and it is very expensive. For me it is impractical to have it since she will soon outgrow using teether. She is not teething yet, i guess but since she is practicing chewing, I decided on giving her teether. THanks a lot for your time and effort, I do appreciate it! Have a nice weekend!

Thanks a lot!
