We gotz a toof! She sprouted one this past Monday which was also my mother's birthday. My mom said, "What a great birthday gift!!!" It was pretty awesome!

But now... she's in a lot of pain and very restless. What should I get her for teething meds? Should I get the gel, the pills, what? Right now I have tablets that dissolve. The brand is Hyland's, they're 100% natural and she gets two every two hours. She takes them fine, one would even think she might enjoy them! However, she's been rejecting the bottle. I have to get her into a light sleep, readjust her, then she'll eat. It's crazy and complicated. Should I change the nipple to her bottle? Or is it just cuz her gums are sensitive and a change in meds would help her to eat easier?

At least I know why she's been so irritable lately. :]

Congrats on the tooth! I swear by Tylenol and Baby Oragel for teething. The oragel will give immediate pain relief and the Tylenol will give lasting relief. She is probably rejecting the bottle due to discomfort so maybe try putting just a bit of oragel on about 5 mins or so before feeding. The good news is that the pain should only last for a few days, maybe a week max and once the tooth breaks through the pain will subside.

My LO loved the Hyland's teething tablets, too! I personally like the Walgreens Baby Teething Pain Gel. It seemed to have fewer questionable ingredients than the regular stuff. And then, of course, there's baby acetaminophen for the really big ones.

Go Ruby!!! Yay! A tooth! That is so exciting!

I'm a Motrin mommy. It was the only thing that helped besides the Orajel night time gel at bedtime.
