Hailey has another tooth coming in. She has five already, this is the sixth and she keeps getting really cranky every time we get another tooth coming in. We’ve been using teething tablets instead of baby oragel to try to make it easy for her but I’m not sure which one works better. Any body with kids have more experience in this department? On top of the tooth medications, we give her a cold teething ring, any other suggestions on how we can keep our daughter from suffering through teething?
She seems to be having trouble sleeping even with either the tablets or oragel. She normally is out for the night when you put her to bed in the evening, but lately when teething she wakes up crying. She isn’t napping as much during the day either, today at daycare she didn’t nap at all. Help!!

You may want to try a product called Gripe Water. I believe you can find it at Walgreens or any health food store or ads by Google on your site. Give it a try.

How about just Tylenol? That always worked for us, our girls were easy teethers though.

We do give her baby tylenol actually, I kind of forgot to mention that. But it’s usually only if she’s warm, which while teething is fairly often. On Jeremy’s advice I stopped and bought some gripe water on the way home yesterday and it seemed to work. I gave her some just after her bath and she seemed tired but perked up. Instead of going to sleep she wanted to play, which still makes me feel better. At least she wasn’t crying in pain, she was having a good time until she finally fell asleep. Gripe water gets my vote.
