Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 Sherron: My son was not a big drooler while teething. He'd wake in the middle of the night crying, but that was about the only thing, and he was a very late teether. At the regular drugstore, they have these things called " Hylands Teething Tablets " where the orajel and other stuff for teething is. These are homeopathic and they usually work really well for most babies. They dissolve almost instantly in the mouth, so you can give them to the tiniest baby. They usually like them cuz they're sweet. If she seems to get some relief, but it doesn't stop completely, then she needs a higher dose of one of the remedies that's in it. (It's a combo remedy) Email me and I will see which one of them most corresponds with her symptoms (alot of times chamommilla is needed in a higher potenecy.) Don't be afraid to give them to her regularly, even every 15 minutes for the first hour. You can't OD on them and they're MUCH safer than even baby tylenol, etc. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 Hi Sherron I used the Chamomille teething remedy I got at a local health food store. Think it is called " Chamomilla or something like that... You can use it alot (often, same as said, like every 15 minutes if need be or double up the doseage). They come in little tubes and you squeeze the liquid into the babys mouth). After a while, my twins would point to it (ask for it) and open their mouths readily for it as they knew it would bring relief!! Mine did not drool either. Sue DeMaio wrote: > From: austinsmom@...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 Forgot to add.... If it's not teething and is a viral illness, don't worry. Just let the body do what it's suppose to do and try to keep her as comfortable as possible. If you have a store near you that sells homeopathics, pick up one called 'Ferrum Phosphorica " it usualy comes in a 6x potency and should be given at the first sign of any inflammatory illness. Give it, again, every 15 minutes or so. The purer her system is (not clogged with OTC drugs) the better it will respond to homeopathics, so try to avoid the trylenol unless she gets really uncomfortable. (I learned this the hard way - my son's fever wasn't responding and it was because I'd already done the tylenol thing for a couple days before that) (Usually, during illness, they will ONLY nurse, though, and not want solids. It usually comforts them. During teething, they usually nurse less because the sucking creates added pessure and hurts, so if she latches on and then pulls off and cries, it's probably teething) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 One more thing, if your intuition is telling you it's NOT serious, the doc isn't going to do anything for a virus either. YOU know your baby best and will " just know " if something is very wrong. Try to listen to that and not get too paranoid :-) (I know it's SO hard with your first, though) Remember, she's probably healthier against serious illnesses than all her peers because she's unvaxed.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 1999 Report Share Posted August 30, 1999 Sounds like it could be teething. My daughter never did drool with teething and now my 10 week old son is drolling like crazy and teething. I got some homeopathic teething salts that my homeopath recommended. They seem to calm my son and help. My daughter ran a low grade fever while teething a few times. If it is a low grade fever I wouldn't worry. List Owner Teething Hello, I have a question and I am asking this group because I am not vaccinating my eight month old girl. She has been acting up the past few days. She ran fever Thurs. and Fri. nights. But, not for long. She has been crying, cranky, she doesn't know what she wants, not nursing well and seems like she is nursing all the time. But, NO DROOLING. I am asking ya'll because this is the first time she has been sick and my mind keeps telling me that maybe she has something because I didn't vaccinate her. I am very concerned this is so out of character for her. She is normally so happy and content. This is my question. Everything I have read about teething it says that they usually drool a lot. She's not drooling at all. So, it makes me think it is something elsa. I will take her to the doctor if I have to but, would rather not. I don't want to be hassled because she hasn't had her shots. Has anyone elsa heard of a baby teething and not drooling? If you think it is teething any advice on how to help her through this? Thanks so much in advance. Sherron in New Orleans. fritzb@...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 , Our son, , who also has achondroplasia, did not cut his first tooth until he was 15 months old. Then he cut 6 teeth in 3 days and this threw him into seizures. It took a month to get his seizures under control, again. I was told that babies cut their first teeth between ages 6 months and 2 years. When they cut their teeth is dependent on when their parents cut their teeth. Don't worry about it for a few more months. I personally have never heard of anyone who didn't get their baby teeth. At the district conference held in Austin, Texas in October of 1998, a dentist who had some experience with achondroplasia came and talk to the parents. He basically said that some achons could have overcrowded teeth, which would require intervention by a dentist, if you child's teeth are really close together (can't see any space between the teeth) then the sooner you take them to the dentist the less painful and less expensive it will be to fix the problem. He went on to say that his advice applied to all children not just to children with achondroplasia. Teething > Hi Everyone, > > I was concerned about this a while back, but since still nothing has happened I was wondering everyone's thoughts. > > As most of you are aware, my son Evan is 13 months old. He has still yet to cut any teeth. Has anyone experienced this with Achondroplasts? Is this even a problem related to him being a little person. I have read about the small facial features and this will cause Achons to have problems with their teeth and was wondering if this is something to concern myself with? I can see the top fang teeth, but no other teeth showing. My pediatrician says he doesn't know, and for some reason since Evan had the decompression surgery our genetic Doc doesn't want to see Evan. Which is a whole other issue. So, I have no one else to ask. > > Any info would be helpful, > > Thanks, > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Poor baby! Hyland teething tablets might work. Also a homeopathic tablet that has belladonna, chamomilla in it (called LeBrocks's " teething " ). Or you can get the ones with just chamomile. What my dd loved was when I got a damp cloth (damp with water or chamomile tea) and freeze it. She would just chew and chew on it. Or you can put a piece of ice in a cloth and tie it off. Don't use the oragel stuff. It can make the gums tuff and actually make it hurt worse once the numbness wears off.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 Hi, Amy! I used acetaminophen suppositories (125 mg.) for my kids when they were teething and couldn't sleep. Worked like a charm. Don't buy the Feverex as it is very expensive. I bought the generic suppositories from Walgreen's, which they keep behind the counter in the pharmacy, so you have to ask for them. For infants, the lowest dose is the 125 mg. suppositories. I would pop one in just before sleep, and then if they woke during the night, just move the diaper over a little and pop one in! That way you don't have to rouse them to change their diaper, and you might actually get right back to sleep! teething teething help!!!!! she is so fussy not sleeping etc any suggestions Amy ohio AMY MOMMY TO 4 KIDDIES Chelsea 9 Carrigian 5 4 Chaela 7 mo <A HREF= " http://hometown.aol.com/chevy974/myhomepagebaby.html " >the hasktt bunch</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing pleases her but being held, rocked etc and she is extremely fussy then Chamomilla 30c would do wonders for her. Or if her symptoms differ then another remedy would suit her better. If you don't have access to a health food store to pick it up....Walmart carries Hylands homeopathic Teething Tablets which have Chamomilla, Belladonna and a few other remedies in low potency combination. These would need to be repeated more often than the higher potency single remedy but will help in a pinch! I would avoid any topical " numbing " gel because if swallowed it can inhibit breathing.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 We used Propolis Throat Spray...has a clove flavor and the extra propolis is an added benefit! All of my kids love it and sometimes pretend they have a sore throat so they can get it if another sibling is being sprayed...and sometimes they younger ones will go to the cupboard and point and whine for it!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi.My son went through the same thing.He constantly chewed/sucked on his thumb and pulled on his ears.We just let it ride without meds.We did use a natural teething gell on the really bad days.at about 4.5 months he got a runny nose and a slight fever.We boiled up some chicken and gave him the broth,no seasoning, and he loved it.The fever broke and the drippy nose started to go away.2 weeks later his first tooth broke.A week later another broke.He kept fussn for another 2 weeks and his gums were swollen but then it stopped.He is now 6 months and a week and all is good.It will pass.My son loves the fresh air when he is fussy.If it is cold I just bundle him up and cover his ears.The sun is good too because it give us vitamin D.It really calms him down and helps him sleep night or day.Every one I've met has older babies and they still don't have their teeth in but I've heard of babies getting them this early on Answers.I bet she cuts her first tooth in about 2-3 weeks.Good luck.Lori-love that baby brendon Trish Chapman <twotheark@...> wrote: Hi all, I am wondering how do you tell if a baby is teething?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Trish, I have heard that babies will start to feel the teeth coming in sometimes a month early. One of my friends' daughter had her first two teeth at 4 months. I have been giving my son Hylands homeopathic teething tablets. It contains caicarea phosphorica, chamomilla, coffee cruda, and belladonna. You can give up to 2 every hour for 6 doses. It really seems to help him with fussiness. Since your baby is 4 months, you can dissolve it in breastmilk/formula and give it to her. If you put it in her mouth directly, these tablets do dissolve rather quickly. Teething Hi all, I am wondering how do you tell if a baby is teething? Olivia is 4 months old and is chewing on her fingers and is very cranky. She kept me up until 6am the other night.
