Teething Tablets

I always used the teething rings you can keep in the refrig. The coolness on their little gums help with the soreness. You can also give them a little tylenol to help the pain & crying.
Hope this helps! What kind of work do you do from home?

I used them with my son when he was teething and really liked them. We kept a bottle in the diaper bag and used them on a regular basis.

I used the teething tablets with both of my boys when they were babies. They worked well with my first one but not with my second one. My pediatrician did say they were not harmful one way or another. After lots of trial and error I found it best to crush them with a spoon and dissolve them in a tablespoon or so of water and let the baby take them thru a little medicine dropper. They dissolve but it takes awhile if you try to put them in their mouths. Good luck, teething is hard but I have to say as much as I thought it was awful I don't remember it now 5 years down the line.

I used them for both my kids and know lots of others who used them, too. So, they work! :) I think I have a coupon for $ off, if you want it. I can mail it to you, if you want it. Let me know, and I will double-check my coupons.

Teething tablets are the best! They work well and don't have any side effects. They melt away super fast so you don't have to worry about baby choking. They taste sweet. I gave them to my kids when they were teething. I am going to use them for my new baby too. You don't have to worry if your kid get ahold of the bottle and eats half the bottle. (yes this did happen) Poison control said they would have to down five times as much for it to have a harmful effect. It was a relief.
I do think teething tablets are a very good and safe product for baby.

I used them for both my kids now 7 and 2 and I absolutely LOVE THEM!!!! I wouldn't use or recommend anything else. They truly are the best. They are completely safe too which I love. It is so much better than using tylenol or even baby orajel. This is a great product.

Hi K..
Please ask your pedi first. I was going to use them, and my pedi warned against it b/c they can contain belladona which is from the family of narcotics.. that scared me. Good luck.

I have used them with all of my kids. You can get them at Walmart in the baby dept or in the pharmacey. They are Highland Teethhng Tablets. NO side effects! They worked great for all my kids.

Yes, I have given my 23 month old the Homeopathic teething tablets & they work GREAT!! While my daughter was teething, I'd give them along with Tylenol/Motrin. They tend to relieve some pain/discomfort for my daughter while waiting for the Tylenol/Motrin to kick in.

Hi, K., I have 3 kids and have used Teething Tablets with all 3 of them. They work soooo well. We could not have gotten through all those teeth without them.
Best of Luck!

I love them!!! My daughter started teething around 3 1/2 months and continued until finally at 7 months her teeth started popping out . Teething tablets saved her (and us!) Her Dr. told us about them and they really worked for her, almost instantly. Plus, they can not over dose on them. Thumbs up!

We use Hylands and they really do seem to work. I've never given my dd tylenol for teething as 3-4 of these every few hours seem to do the trick AND she loves them.

Best wishes!

Hylands were the only thing that worked for my kids

K.,
I have 3 kids and I lived by those teething tablets. Try just one to start off with....to see what you think. I always had instant results with my kids when I gave them the tablets. Everyone that I told about those loved them as well.
Good luck.

A report showed no significant help from these. But I used them with three of our kids and they're awesome. I highly recommend them.

The Hylands tablets, right? I used them and they worked like a charm. There are no side effects, so go ahead and use them.

What do you do to work from home?

Yes, try them, they are a life saver! They work within a few minutes and the little one just stops crying, like a miracle! Our nanny did look on the ingredients and said it contains a pain medicine, so Im not to sure if it is all natural or not. But it got my two year old through the rough times and I plan to use it on my 9 month old when he starts to teeth.

Some people swear by them. I have not had any luck with them when trying them out with my kids. They just don't seem to work.

I used them morning and night with both of my children and they worked great! We didn't have hardly any horrible teething problems.

I have tried the Highland's teething tablets. I think they work ok and went off of the feeling of if they even help relieve his pain a litle bit, then they are worth it since they are homeopathic. They do make him a bit sleepy and help him to relax though.

I have used these and they are wonderful!! You can find them at WalMart and Walgreens. My son had a really hard time when he was teething and they always seemed to calm him down and help with the pain.

K.,

I use those for my son and they work great. They are made by Hylands and they have no side effects. If it gets really bad I use this stuff called Hurricane. It also works good.

Teething tablets are GREAT! My twins responded very well to them. No side effects, just takes the pain away. Much better than givng Tylenol or Motrin all the time!

I have never tried the tablets but a little trick that I used with my babies is taking a cucumber, cutting out the seeds in the middle and putting it in the freezer for 30+ minutes. I was told by our maid in Panama that the cucumber has a numbing effect on the gums and it's even more soothing to them because it's cold. I would hold on to it and just let them suck on it till it started getting mushy. I did it with all 3 of my kiddos and it seemed to soothe thier gums and keep them happy when they would get fussy. Hope it works for you, good luck.

BUy them in bulk! They were the best thing that ever happened to me product wise as a mom.

Yes, I've used them for my daughter and they are wonderful. I think they work WAY better than Tylenol.

Good luck!

I didnt have any luck with my older boy, but i think i'm an exception...i have heard from LOTS of people that they work wonders....so I'd give them a shot! :) Hylands Teething Tablets was what I used.

They are awesome! They dissolve very easily and quickly in the baby's mouth, and they contain chamomile, which helps to keep the baby calm...and helps him/her to sleep. I recommend them to anyone with a teething baby!

Research Clove Bud to see if it's recommended for babies. If so, you can put a tiny drop (just a very little bit, because it's pretty strong) on your fingertip and rub it on your baby's gum area to numb it. (It will numb everything it touches, so expect more drool if it touches the tongue directly.) Cotton swabs can soak up more than you want/need to use. This works very well for my wisdom tooth pain.

Happy teething!

Well, First congrats on your new baby. And even more congrats on trying healthy items first for baby.
I have used the teething tablets since my first was born. I swear by them. The greatest godsend ever for teething babies. They have virtually no flavor and dissolve like cotton candy in your mouth, there is no fear of choking they dissolve so fast. and work that fast too.
If the pain is really really super bad you can rub a tiny bit of Tylenol directly on the gum so you are not giving a full dose all the time. The other thing that really helped was ..I cut a 2 inch diagonal into the corner of a washcloth tied that into a knot then got it wet and froze it. then let them go to town chewing...the roughness and cold work together better than a plain teether...
If He is eating solid foods, or solid for the teeth he has, biter biscuits work well too...keeps them busy for awhile, but they are VERY messy, just like glue after it dries on the face..I found it just as easy to let them soak in the tub afterwards...again another activity to keep their minds off of teething..
Good Luck...

they are a sedative, so I was not comfortable with that. We tried baby tylenol and infants motrin. Motrin seems to work better!

I was having problems with them working before I was advised not to feed my child for 20 minutes before giving the tablet and waiting another 20 minutes after. I kept giving a bottle almost immediately afterwards. Oops.

I have 3 kids and have used the homeopathic teething tablets with all of them. It really works. I like them because it isn't like giving them tylenol every 4 hrs. They are all natural and won't hurt them.

Absolutely great! I used it for both my boys and highly recommend it to everyone.

I didn't use them with my two kids because I had never heard of them. However, more recently I've had many friends with teething babies, and all of them swear by the tablets. They love that it is all natural rather than using something like Orajel, which is what I used. I wish I had known about the tablets! I've also heard of using frozen string beans as teether, but I would be concerned about potential choking.

hi K.,,
they have used them on my grand kids thet are wonderful!!!!! get some saves you and baby many hours of suffering and pain
good luck L.

We love them!! My son had the hardest time cutting teeth (some of them took 3 weeks to break through) but the tablets worked miracles. I didn't like giving him tylenol everyday because it took weeks for the teeth to come in but I had no problem giving him the tablets because they are all natural. They work right away too no 1 hour waiting period and no complete mouth numbing like the gels(which he hates).

I know of several families that have used this and they loved it. I will advise you to be careful with the product though. Even though it's all natural, you can still overdose with it. Also, talk to your doctor about it before using. As with all things you give your child you need to take the proper precautions. Don't let the label "all natural" give you a sense of false security. Each person is different and has different reactions to things, even the all natural products.

I loved them and still use them. When his teeth were just starting to cut through, which I think is the most painful part, I would give him baby motrin at night to help him sleep, because I don't think the tablets were enough to last through the night.

I used them with my son who is now 6 and loved them. They are so much better than that wretched tasting orajel. I give them to friends as part of baby shower gifts now. My teenage step-daughter even used them when she was cutting a wisdom tooth. She had to take 4 at a time instead of 2.

We also used the gas tablets, which worked well too.

I have personally used the ear drops when I have had ear infections. They work well, but only for a couple of days then the pain would return.

I love homeopathic meds. We give our son one for ADHD called Attend. It works wonders and has no side affects like prescription meds do.

I asked my son's MD about the teething tablets. He told me that with all the herbs in the tablets there is a possibility of a allergic reaction. The allergic reaction would probably be worse than the teething symptoms. I just ended up sticking with infant tylenol instead.

I tried the teething tablets with my daughter and they worked great, I loved them!

Good luck

They work I used them with my daughter.

I love them and don't go anywhere without them. I fell better about giving my baby the tablets rather than the oralgel for a few reasons. Its a natural agent to help with the pain and discomfort with no bad side effects and it doesn't taste nasty.
If the teething gets really bad (like right as they're popping thru then I'll use some tylenol also).
hope this helps!

Yep, we used Hyland's teething tablets with our twin girls. Worked great and the girls' loved them! I would highly recommend them. Available at Kroger and Walgreens.

I have tried them. My oldest had the hardest time with teething, it would take a couple of months a tooth for them to come in. The teething tablets seemed to work very well. I had tried the gel, but it made my son gage by the flavor. He loved the tablets and they were very easy to give.

Loved them!! My kids are now 7 & 10 and I kept a bottle in my purse and always traveled with them. Most of them have chamomile in them.

I loved them!

I used Hylands tablets. You can find them at Walmart in the pharmacy department or even HEB with the baby stuff. They seethed to work almost instantly. I didn't over do it.

Good luck

basically they are great and I feel that they work

I absolutely loved Hylands homeopathic teething tablets. I would place them under my daughters tongue and they would really help her calm down. They dissolve very quickly. It is important to put them under the tongue so they enter the bloodstream quickly. Otherwise, they are swallowed, they become diluted and it is not as effective.

Sometimes I had to use Orajel and Infants Tylenol as well when she was in a lot of pain, but usually just the teething tablets alone worked great!!

S.

LOVE them!! I use this only and it works great for my kids!

Hi K.!
I've used the Homeopathic teething tablets for all four of my little ones. Never had a problem. Try them! You'll be pleasantly surprised!!!! I actually have a couple of bottles in my cabinet right now :-) Good luck with the teething, and God Bless!!!!

I tried the hylands teething tabs. Didn't work for my son... try motrin. It works best and longest.

I used the ones by Hyland's for my youngest grandson and just loved them. My day care actually recommended them to me. They didn't help on the drooling part of teething but they really calmed him down and helped with the pain and discomfort. Plus the good thing about them is that you can get them at Walmart and HEB.

Yeah we use those too. It's so much easier then the oral gel. Just take a teaspoon of water and about 2 or 3 of the tablets and mix them in a bottle and they desolve fast and work great.

I used teething tablets for both of my kids, and they work great! I have even tried them on myself because my wisdom teeth have been bothering me (need to get them pulled) Anyway.. I just put 2 or 3 tablets in my mouth, and the pain was gone instantly! My mouth wasn't numb or anything and the dissolve right when you get them in your mouth, so you little one won't choke on them. Another thing that works for teething is vanilla extract! Just rub a dab on his gums.

Homeopathic teething tablets are not even harmful if you give more than the recommended dosage. They are a much safer alternative than a pharmaceutical product. I used them on my son and I know many people who have also used them and have seen success. If you ask many medical doctors who are only trained and more familiar in western medicine, they are not going to have much to say about it. So I would say try it, it's not going to hurt as much as other pharmaceutical medications. Good luck.

I tried these w/my daughter when she was teething and they were like magic. I gave her 1/2 the dosage it called for b/c she was screaming in pain. After about a minuteor two she was sound asleep and when she woke up she was fine. I only had to use them a couple of times with her months apart. Good luck!

There are also some teething pellets (Humphrey's) that we used for our youngest and worked great for him. Very easy to use, they just dissolve in the mouth. We found them at Walgreen's.

Oh my gosh they are so awesome I swear by them! Hylands Homeopathic...best purchase ever.

Looks like you've gotten some great responses already, but I too LOVE Hyland's Teething Tabs. Most grocery stores & pharmacies now carry them, as well as Walmart/Target. Sometimes they are with the baby stuff, other times they are by the Orajel in the pharmacy dept. Occasionally you have to ask for them at the pharmacy counter. Even though they are all natural, I still like to do a little research before giving my child anything - can't be too safe. These were recommended to me by a fellow mom when my daughter was ~ 5 mo, and so first I talked to her pediatrician as well as a pharmacist whose judgment I really trusted; both had great things to say about them. I would just use them as directed - even things that are safe can be dangerous if used in excess. These worked so much better than Orajel for my daughter who will be 3 in September, & I plan to use them with my 2nd due in October. As a matter of fact, when she was getting her 2 yr molars my daughter remembered "tooth medicine" & asked for it when her teeth were bothering her, even though she hadn't had any for months before that. When teething pain was the worst I would use them together with Advil (well, store brand Ibuprofen) - it seemed to last longer than Tylenol. Good luck! :)

I also use the teething tablets with my son and they seem to help a little with the pain. I asked his dr. about them at his last checkup and he says they don't really help but they won't hurt. They're mostly to make mom feel as if she's doing something to relieve the pain.
For nighttime relief I do use Tylenol because it's stronger.
Good luck with the teething.

Hi K.,

I LOVE the teething tablets! Used them on both of my girls- and still do. (They're now 2 and 5.)

Anyway, they work and they're safe. You'll only give your baby 3 to 4 at a time and they're very tiny- dissolve almost instantly. Try not to touch them with your hands. The thing about homeopathic medicine is that it looses potency the more it is handled because it's not like a normal pill. It's very mild and the bulk of the pill is usually a sugar type thing- so it dissolves.

I hope this helps you. Good luck with the teething!

Hello, I have a 20mth old and 3 year old (boys) and I used the teething tablets with both. I Always bought the homeopathic tablets and never seemed to have a problem. I found that they worked very well and didn't taste bad so my kids did not fight me or scream when I gave them to them. I will say that once my kids got older and started cutting mollers, the teething tablets seemed not to work as well. I say give it a try. Just give your son maybe 3 or 4 tablets and see how he is. Hope this helps.

From my experience in a daycare, the teething tablets seem to work - even if it's a placebo effect.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!!

B.

Absolutely loved them! We still use them, as my five year old's permanent teeth are coming in. They melt very quickly, don't have an awful taste, and you don't have to use your finger or q-tip.

I tired these too with my son and they seemed to help. I was not able to tell if they worked for the pain or the thought of having something weird like those tablets disolve in your mouth but they helped him stop fussing and crying. I used those and nighttime oral gel.

They are absolute lifesavers. In comparison to the gel the kids actually want more of the tablets and they WORK. They gel makes their mouth feel too funny, I think. And they just hate it when you put that gel in their mouth.

My daughter's daycare even suggested it to me because they stopped using the gels. They're more affective than the gels and another advantage is you don't have to stick your hand in their mouth with the tabs.

Good luck!
