Oh man...My DD hasn't had any teeth break through yet but she is chewing on everything and anything. In the town I live in there was this old Dr. called Dr. Silverstine. He developed this teething ointment way back in the 70's and they still have it at one of our Pharmancy and this stuff works wonders and instintly calms her down... Good luck with this!!!

Thanks Tishie1993! Do you have an idea of what the ointment is called? Maybe I can order over the internet from your town pharmacy?! My poor DD is exhausted/drained and I feel so limited with what I can do for her. Thanks again...

hi drex,

its heart breaking to hear and see our little ones go through all that pain and are not able to tell us exactly whats bothering them and where.

my son wasnt drinking his formula very well around 6 months. hes 11 months now. i was concerned that he wasnt getting enough of the vitamins from the formula that he needed. his pediatrician recommended that i supplement vitamins in a liquid form. i get him the polyvitamins which has about 5 different ones in it. you can give your daughter it by mouth or in her food.

im not sure if you use pacifiers or not, but if you do, try putting ones you are not using in the freezer. i do this which my son so when hes really fussy, i give him a cold one. not olny does it soothe his gums, but it gives him something hard to chew on as well. you can put teething rings in the freezer as well.

if she likes her baths, why not trying giving her a bath to help calm her down ?

as for the runny nose, i would recommend doing saline flushes and then using the nasal bulb to suck anything back out to help her breath better and reduce the amount of stuff going back down her throat.

RSsmith, thank you for the recommendation. I'm putting some in the freezer right now and DH will have them when he picks her up from daycare (I am heading out for a lovely day of meetings that will head well into the evening). Thanks again for the recommendations!!!

My SIL uses those homeopathic teething tablets too. My niece loves them and takes them like candy. They dissolve almost immediately.
1. infant tylenol,
2. use your finger to massage her gums or let her chew on your finger,
3. cold foods like chilled applesauce,
4. frozen teething ring or just filled with cold water,
5. a bottle with some cold water in it,
6. or put some water in bottle and freeze up side down and let baby suck and chew on frozen nipple,
7. frozen banana,
8. frozen towel,
9. a cold plain bagel,
10.teething biscuit,
11.some fruit in those mesh teething bags like sliced apple,
12.let her suck on a cold spoon...I read that the cold metal helps the gums....
13. I agree with the saline and bulb for the stuffiness. My son is always stuffy and we do that and it gets some good boogy's out!! lol
14. You could also try a cool mist humidofier for the runny nose and stuffiness.

I dont know if all of these things will help...My baby hasnt started teething yet but I hope they will help a little!! Good Luck to you and your daughter!!!

find a leather strap....we gave our boys little leather key chains shaped like boots to chew on and almost all of there teeth broke at the same time and both had all there baby teeth by 9 months and it was a breeze....we havent used on with our daughter...she has Downs though....and it is horrible....2 years old with only 7 teeth....But I loved those leather boots

Thank you so much Ladies! I greatly appreciate all of your prompt responses and have been able to try many of these with success!!! My household will for a few moments be a little less stressful and the most important thing, Natalia will have less pain! :)
