The 3 month old baby im watching is teething.. And I was just wondering if it was normal for them to not want a bottle while they are teething.. Sometimes [but not always] when I try to feed her, she will start to cryyy like it hurts her mouth to have the bottle in there.
Motrin actually works better for teething. When my kiddo shows definate signs of teething, I switch out Motrin (IB Proffen) and Tylenol every three hours. Some babies won't take to teething rings. Have you tried a damp wash cloth? My daughter likes to chew on tooth brushes. The orajel rubs don't last very long. Three months seems really early to be teething. Could the baby have a little gas that is making him/her fussy?
Nope, its definitely her teeth.. I can see and feel them coming in. she will be 4 months on the 15th.
She isnt my baby, so I dont want to buy her Motrin, and have it do something bad to her.. it seems like everything new we try has a bad reaction on her.. so I think im just going to stick with Tylenol. Sometimes she will chew on a wash cloth, and sometimes she wont..
yeah, I put orajel[well actually its a generic brand, does that make much of a difference?] on her gums last night, and she just cried even harder.. and she doesnt understand the teething ring, I tried to put it in her mouth for her, but she just turns her head, and she wont do it herself. I havent tried it for a while though, so ill try again to see what she does.
she has some tylenol from when she got her shots, but I dont have it at my house.. I will go get it tomorrow though.. She has something else for teething too, I cant remember what it is, but ill see if it works better than the orajel. I just tried the teething ring again, she doesnt want anything to do with it.
Do you have any Motrin or Tylenol. There is a chance that the orajel may burn a little maby since the skin is broken. When my son cut teeth I just used Motrin or Tylenol and it worked really good but I got bedtime orajel and it is a little stronger and I thought it worked awesome.
Yes, because it hurts their mouth. Do you have some kind of teething ring you can give him/her or orajel?
yea give them something to bite on..something chewy though..like if they have a pacifier
beautiful2u2- her mom doesnt want her to use a pacifier.. so I dont want to try that..
