If you have those little mesh feeders, you can pop an ice-cube in that and let them chew on it.
My daughter thought it was the best treat ever and it really helped with her teething. It was also great on hot summer days.
I’d run it under water first to get rid of the sharp corners. This would also make it smaller, so it would fit in the little holder easier.

I AM GONNA TRY IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am really not a HUGE fan of medicating my lil guy, I have no idea why, it just scares me when they are so little…. I trie the Little Teethers and I think it had a strange reaction on his gums… like sting or something. I am gonna go straight to the store tomorrow after I workout and get those Orajel swabs! I LOVE YOUR BLOG! I found every word of this post useful!

I actually forgot to mention that over time what worked and what didn’t changed. In the beginning our Okapis didn’t use any of the teether toys but for my boy that seemed to work after awhile – unless it had been frozen which was too cold for him (though great for a bagel). I just felt like we had to have everything on hand, frozen and not frozen, toys and food and cloth, etc., because you just never knew what was going to make them feel better at any given moment.

We get something Homeopathic medicines here for teething babies called dentonic…. it really helps… other than that, when I was around, they loved my fingers…. SoI had to be extra careful & wash my hands every little while…

I don’t know if they make them anymore, but my son *loved* his vibrating teething star. I think it was made by First Years? You can’t change the battery, so when it dies, that’s it, but it lasted quite a long time for us.

We popped a few of those gel teethers into the freezer as well, for when it got real bad (teething was a 4 letter word in this house!!)

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the kind words

There was no such thing as Baby Orajel when ours were little, so it was popsicles mostly, or sucking on a frozen dampened washcloth when they were babies.

I used to swear by the baby orajel. Neither of my kids would use the teethers, and they only seemed content if they were chewing on my finger, or with the orajel.
