•Give your baby Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for a few days if your baby is uncomfortable, or
•Give your baby Baby Advil (Ibuprofen) if Acetaminophen isn’t working. Ibuprofen may be better because it contains an anti-inflammatory component and Acetaminophen does not.
What You Shouldn’t Give For Your Baby’s Teething Symptoms
If your baby is less than four months old, don’t apply lotions or ointments that claim to soothe
teething pain. They may have ingredients that wash out of
mouth in a few minutes and could numb your baby’s throat resulting in choking.
It doesn’t matter how convincing your friends or relatives sound, but NEVER, under any circumstances, place alcohol into your baby’s mouth. A “dab of whiskey” is NOT okay. Alcohol is a poison to a young baby. Don’t do it.
Final Thoughts
Now that you’ve been made aware of
symptoms of teething and
ways you can comfort your baby when it happens, you should have
confidence and knowledge to handle this with ease. Good luck and enjoy
rewards of parenting!
