Need Teething Advice

April 16, 2007 4:14am CST
Ok I am going a little crazy here. I have a 14 month old daughter that is teething right now. Which wouldnt be so bad because I am used to her when she is teething. The issue is that my 3 month old son is showing the signs that he is starting to get some teeth. I have a feeling that it is going to start to get a little crazy around here. Has anyone gone through having more than one kid teething at a time. If so any advice that you might have would be very helpful so I dont go completely insane.

Try a freezer pop, the kind that are liquid when you buy them. Poke a hole in the plastic. They will enjoy the flavor while they numb their gums. Also a cold washcloth is helpful.

I've never had more than 1 at a time but my sister in law has twins, plus another daughter just 2 years older. with the youngest to keep him a little less irritated, there's always infants paracetamol (spelling?) which will stop the pain, or you could try a dummy/pacifier dipped in teething gel to cool his little gums. I hope this is of some help. We also tried teething rusks with our daughter & whenever she was sad with her teething, we gave her one of those & she happily sucked it & bit it with her gums & that seemed to make her feel better.
