I used them with my son and they were a lifesaver!! They really do work and it's a lot easier to slip one under the tongue than it is to get your finger and put the orajel stull on their teeth I would highly recommend them!

I thought they were a bunch of homeopathic malarky for my first two. They needed the harder stuff... Tylenol or Motrin. With my 3rd, it has been really effective in just taking the edge off... I usually give her some before nap time to help ease any discomfort she may have. I think it's worth giving it a try to see if it works. Every kid is different.

I've been using the harder stuff, the Tylenol, the Motrin...but I hate using it so much. It only seems to be problematic at night. For some reason, her pain isn't as intense during the day, or shall I say, rarely it is.
But do I trust a three dollar bottle of pills from over the counter?
I don't want to add more strife to her than she is already experiencing. Nor do I want to be 'fooled' into thinking that they are functioning on any level aside from a placebo. (If they are in fact, that pile of malarky...)
I suppose I could take the advice of the woman in line behind me at Target. (Rigghhhht...)
"Rub brandy on her gums! It will work every time!"
She was about 80 years old and a lot of her own teeth were AWOL.
Confucius says: "Never take dental advice from one who hasn't all of their own teeth..."

Pop one in your mouth and see. I give them to my kids and when I lost a filling I used a handfull untill I got to the dentist.

I say that they are just as important as Mylecon drops!!! I wish I would've known about them with DD1....We have used them religiously with DD2 and 3 and they work wonders!!

Hylands also makes a colic remedy that works well...it's the chamomille that does the trick!

Shouldn't I be in pain before having one?

They did absolutely nothing for Lillie, but I have heard others swear by it, give it a try it is worth a shot>>>>Poor sweet Ellorie!

I used them for a little one that I take care of. They worked wonders! Normally, he would fall right to sleep after having one! I never thought they would work, but I usppose like everything, it is just rial and error to find what works best for your child.
