thescrappyhomeschooler Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The little girl I watch is having some gum issues to say the least. She chomps on her hands non stop. She soaks through several bibs and sometimes I even have to change her outfit because her sleeve is sopping wet. She doesn't like chewing on the traditional teething toys that I've been offering her. My sister suggested wetting a corner of a wash cloth and freezing it and letting her chew on that, but she didn't seem to care for that, either. She really likes munching on her hands and fingers. But, she gets easily frustrated and is super fussy lately. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I used Hylands Teething Tablets (homeopathic) with great success. Hope baby feels better soon!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 I know what my grandma would have said- "Rub some whiskey on her gums!". Somehow I don't think her mom would like that, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so bad for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa in the UP of MI Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My SIL used an amber necklace with my niece. I just wear my babies most of the time when they are sick or in pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
