My daughter is cutting her first tooth, Is there anything I can do to soothe her

when my 31 year old daughter was teething, she liked to bite down on things. haha, she especially liked to bite (gently) on my thumb. she loved the teething rings with water that you caould freeze. a friend of mine who was much more experienced than i, said she always rubbed whiskey on their gums. numbed it right away. of course, there is always over the counter products you can get. when you think of it, of COURSE, it's painful.

There is something called teething tablets you can buy at Walmart or Target. You put 2 or 3 tablets under her tongue and they disolve very quickly. They helped my little one.

Anything frozen is good. You can buy rings with water to freeze I think. I used to soak a small cloth and put it in the freezer and let my son chew on it. Or run an ice cube over the spot on her gums. Poor baby!

When my nephew was teething I rubbed his gums and he seemed to like it, he stopped crying!

I would try Baby Orajel or teething tablets. I've heard the tablets work well. You can get them at Walmart, Target, etc
