I tried using a toothing gel, but I noticed that it only works from the moment I put it on my son's teeth, then he'll be back to biting his bib or cry again... whew... any other suggestions?

How about using a teether for the baby to bite and at the same time play with it.

yes i agree, teether or yet by giving him pacifiers, it can help too.

Get him some teething rings, and throw them in the freezer...or a damp cloth in the freezer. When they frozen, let him have it.

If that doesn't work (I'd talk to his pediatrician), give him some infant Tylenol.

But I'd stick to the teethers.

I've used the baby orajel but don't like to use it much because they say it can cause their gag reflex not to work right and choke. Mostly i just let him chew on teethers (i had to hold them for him for awhile) and my finger.

For the discomfort and swelling and irritability I used Humphreys teething strips. I didn't always have to give him one in the day unless it was really bothering him, but one before bed really helped him to sleep.

I use Tylenol every now and then. I really like Hylands teething tablets and I give him Nighttime Ore-gal. Zach also likes chewing on baby washcloths that I have wet with cold water.

I went to a health food store and asked them for other teething remedies. They recommended camomile tablets----yes tablets. They are tiny and you put them under the baby's tongue and they dissolve instantly. They say it works wonders, especially if you are worried about giving baby tylenol all the time.

That is really interesting citywoman, never heard of it. I am preparing myself for my baby's teething days and thanks for all your suggestions here.

tooth gel but sometimes it's not that effective because my baby so i tried dumping cotton on warm water and massage it on her gums.

teether and sometimes tooth gel. but my kids before still got irritated so i tried to cuddle them a lot to divert their attention.
