Teething tips & tricks

My son is 4.5 months old and is teething and I don’t know what to do the only teether he likes looks like a banana and he puts it in his mouth and yanks it out which results in his gums being cut open then he doesn’t want to eat currently the past 2 days I’ve been giving him Tylenol to help twice a day I try to stretch it out as long as possible because I don’t want him living on Tylenol but I don’t know what else to do or try anyone got any tips or anything?

Warm wet washcloth, I don’t know I ain’t tried it but I’ve heard give them white onion let them chew on it

We’ve tried the onion everything I’ve researched said green onion cut the roots off peel the first layer off and give it to them but that did absolutely nothing but piss him off. I’ll try the warm washcloth and give it a shot we’ve tried cold wet washcloth but I’ll try the warm one now thank you so much!

Milk pops! Turn his milk into mini ice pops. He gets a drink and to soothe his gums all in one!

Use Oral B. Instead of Tylenol it is applied to the gums. You can also try frozen teaching toys that are filled with water. If you don't have one yet and he takes a binky, just fill the back of the binky with ice and freeze it. Hope this helps. You've got this mama!

@Tiffany my husband is going to stop in the morning and see if target has one first if not I’m gonna order one thank you so much!

@Alexi is oral B the same as baby Orajel? I have the baby orajel it’s a day and night time pack but it didn’t seem to do anything for him

I also just read that my pediatrician suggested soaking a rag with chamomile tea 🤔 sounds like a good try. I also bend my finger and give him my knuckle or massage with my finger with some good pressure. Distraction helps, too.

@Chloe They are the same yes.

I have a fruit feeder that came with a freezing tray that I freeze breast milk in but also my girl really likes her little corn teether 😂 which is great bc we’re midwesterners 😂 and she also loves when a thin blanket is around her hand and chewing on that or just blankets
