[blparent] teething

[Veronica Smith]

Leslie, I bet he is so cute.  I used Humphrey's.  You can get them at your
pharmacy.  They are little round balls that melt on the gums.  They numb
them just a little so the pain is tolerable.  Another thing is take a wash
cloth and wet it, ring it out and freeze it.  Babies love to chew on them.
You can also get a teething ring, sold at places like Target or Walmart,
etc.  You also freeze them and let Michael chew on it.  
I could always feel the bumps in the mouth and if nursing or bottle feeding,
baby likes to rub whatever he can on his gums. V

Hi all.  Michael is 7 months old as of today and doing very well.  he is
growing like a weed, laughing out loud, making new sounds, and teething.
That's where my question is on teething.  What, if anything, have you all
done to soothe your baby's gums while he's teething?  I know my parents
talked about putting booze on the gums but I hear that's not recommended
now.  Any thoughts?  How do you know when and where the teeth are coming in?
I can feel little bumps where the bottom two teeth would be coming in.
Thanks.

Leslie
