Any ideas to help ease 3 month old babies teething pain?????

Question

My baby daughter is 3 months and nearly 3 weeks old, she is teething terribly, she biting everything, i give her the frozen teething rings (bit big to fit in her mouth, even the small ones), she likes to bite my finger hard lol, i give her bonjela and calpol...i can only give her bonjela every 3 hours and the calpol sends her to sleep.

Any natural remedies that would help her (and she would enjoy) would be very gratefully recieved.

Thanks alot in advance xx

Oh yeah she is very young so cant have bikkie pegs or anything, i have already been and looked x

Answer 1

It is hard at this age because, as you said, you are limited as to what you can give her!



My son went throught the same thing at that age, and I found that wrapping an ice cube in a clean hanky or flannel and letting him chew / suck on it was a life saver (under strict supervision of course, to avoid choking).



The ice numbs the gums and is hard enough for them to bite on, but the cloth protects it from slipping into their mouth (choking hazard) and from being too cold for them.



Also, I don't know where you live, but a hospital near me make their own teething gel which actually numbs the gums and reduces inflammation, it's great. So it might be worth asking pharmacies or hospitals in your area to see if they do the same, as you can only get it through the hospital.



Goodluck x



EDIT: Without trying to sound rude, PLEASE PLEASE do NOT rub honey into her gums like someone suggested, it can start early decay and begin to rot her teeth - my dentist said that people putting honey and other sweet things on babie's dummies and gums is the sure fire way to start decay.. which we don't want for our children! And aside from that, you are not meant to give honey to babies under 12 months of age:

Sorry, I hope I don't sound like a know it all, that's not what I want to come across as!

Answer 2

3 Month Old Teething

Answer 3

First off, 5 months is just a little too early for solids and the doctor should already know this. Also if he is lactose intolerant he should be on a lactose-free formula. I think 5 months is also too early to be teething. If his main problem is his stomach waking him up at night you should be able to tell by how he is moving. If he is sort of strainng like he's trying to poop then most likely I would think he has gas. If he does have a reflux problem then he would be spitting up a lot when he has milk or formula. Try giving him gas drops or heat up a receiving blanket in the dryer and put it on his stomach to ease gas pain.

Answer 5

She is the same age as my daughter was, she also lost her milk teeth aged four so your baby is not too young. My daughter was also in extreme pain, the only thing that worked, apart from lots of cuddles, were Ashton and Parsons Homeopathic teething powders. I know it sounds mad, but they really, really work. They are widely available from chemists and Boots and are very safe, they can even be given up to every half hour in extreme cases. They settle the stomach as well, which many babies get problems with when they teethe. You just open the individual packet an pour it into baby's mouth, it works almost immediately and brngs much needed releief. They are totally homeopathic andd not expensive, I even used them when my daughter had teething pain when she was older, and if one of us gets problems with our teeth now, it is our first line of defense. Great stuff.

Teething necklace - it is made from Amber.



My daughter started teething early too 4 months I put this teething necklace and she has 9 teeth now, never a fever, never been to the doctor for her teething.



I didn't believe it at first but it really works. I got it from France as a gift I never knew about it.

Answer 10

wet a face cloth/fannel and put it in the freezer for a while then let her suck on it it will cool the gums and will also massage her gums easing her pain u can buy special teething cloths in most good baby shops but they are expensive

Answer 11

Both amber and hazelwood teething necklaces offer effective pain relief. Our company sells a combined hazelwood-amber necklace that many parents have found to be quite effective.

Answer 12

yes your baby could very well be teething - my sister's baby is just under four months and already has two teeth!

what she did that worked like a charm is to take a stick of biltong (beef jerkey) and just cut the outside layer with all the spices and salt of.

little gabriella chewed that piece to death! just keep in mind that you'll have to carefully watch your child's fluid intake, as jerky is quite salty - even with that outside layer cut away!

Answer 13

Teething Tablets by Hylands are great.

Answer 14

Hi mother of two boys here,



you need to take her into the Dr. she is not teething. She is too young. I have a 3 month old myself, he'll be 4 months on the 8th. He too bites everything it's how they discover the world. Thats why you have to give them stimulating toys, not only in coluor but in textuer. I also have a three year old they don't theeth this young usually, take her in to see her Dr. It could be something elece.
