so I just started keeping a schedule for DD past week and it was going haywire - she was being a fussy drinker, waking up randomly at night crying for no reason.. turns out she's teething! its so early and its made her pretty cranky!

what r the best natural remedies? like something homeopathic, and apparently the amber necklaces work really well for some babies? I don't want to give her meds if I can avoid it, normal teethers aren't working I think because she's so small

advice is appreciated!

ahh!! welcome to this phase. my ds started at the same age and he is 6 months today but still no teeth. gums are so hard that even if i give him my finger it hurts :( dentinox gel is there which you can apply on her gums but it didn't helped for ds. he just liked the taste so after 3-4 times i stopped applying. i am giving him calcarea phos 21 ( homeopathic) to goto marina mall to buy that teething necklace is my weekend agenda this week. the days when itching is too much he just keeps on screaming and we bear with his screams. (he screams all the time, everybody on my floor is used to him now :) ) if i massage his gums it gives him comfort for very few seconds. i bought a gum massager from spinneys ( like a toothbrush) and that's his fav by far. also he likes tommee tippee stage 1 teether. but mind you i bought these when he was 3 month old and he started using them at 4.5 months. i give him carrot sometimes but he just throws them away.i also avoid giving meds and so far has given him calpol one day only.you have to keep on trying what give her relief. cooled washcloth,teethers, gel, cooled carrots,etc... kittycat amber teething necklace is not meant to be chewn. it releses succininc acid in contact with the skin. so it helps in bringing down the pain (supposedly) and also boosts digestion and immune system.

I believe Camomilla and Bella Donna homeopathic remedies work well for teething. Personally, I find Tylenol and/or Nurofen the best for teething - you know its actually going to work, rather than a maybe or hope so. As for the amber necklaces, it did nothing for my 2nd DD, other than look cute around her neck! I really don't see how it can do anything just by wearing it, but I fell in the trap and it did nothing - they can't even chew on it!
