My poor little Sammer Man (14 months old) is cutting his 3rd and 4th teeth. The past 2 days he’s been miserable with little sleep (little sleep for mom and dad too).
Anyone with ideas on how to make a teething baby less miserable?

Jim,
I just checked with my wife who is a nurse. Children’s Motrin, Anbesol and ice teething rings help a great deal.

Omg he’s soooo cute!

hmmm…. I really feel for you. We used to say, “When Benjamin cuts a tooth, we ALL cut a tooth!” Consider it a rite of passage, for everyone involved.

ditto what Bruce said.. if your old school a thimble full of alcohol soaked in a rag works to.

Like webprofessor. My mum swears that putting some vodka on finger, and using that finger to wipe around the gums worked very well on both of us kids.

You have to build links to the deep teeth - don’t just target the incissors. Vary the anchor text so you’ve got links with “no pain”, “low pain”, “feeling better” and “sleeping through the night.” The authority links in the sector are tough to get, so you’ll want to..
Oh God… I need to think about something else.

Rand, I think you’re on to something there.
I keep trying to distract him with movies or feed him booze, but you’re right, I gotta stop trying to game this and get to work on making his mouth a great resource of teeth.

We use homeopathic teething tablets that work even better than ambesol. You can get them at your drugstore.

This is Sammer’s mom. Great ideas, if this goes on much longer - may try the booze and make it a double for me! By the way its not 3rd and 4th teeth…. It’s 5th, 6th, 7th, and maybe even 8th……….ALL AT ONCE! Sammy’s aunt ssays orajel on a toothbrush. Any more ideas are welcome!!!

Do you have Calpol over there? It’s a mild paracetamol suspension for infants, and been a staple part of our kid’s upbringing here in the UK.
Whatever method you use, my recommendation is to stick to it - when my kids aren’t sleeping well, the mental comfort of being given Calpol medicine seems to be powerful medication in itself.

Correction - last sentence above: “the mental comfort of being given the same medicine seems to be powerful medication in itself.”

A frozen teething ring and infant Tylenol worked best for our 3 kids.
Best of luck and remember: “This too shall pass.”

this might be a good candidate for the best cat post of 2006. A week sooner and you’d have certainly been in the running for 2005.

Rand, you are a classic!

For my baby, we tried apple juice dipped in cloth then frozen as a teething toy.
Did not really work, though….
