How do you soothe your teething toddler?

Question

Dealing with my daughters teething while she was a baby seems like a walk in the park compared to now she is a toddler. As a baby, a lot of cuddles and a cold teething ring did the trick most the time and on bad days teething powders were a charm. It was only on the worst days that as a baby I'd get the calpol out to ease teething. 

Now she is 20 months and getting her cuspid/canine teeth through, teething is AWFUL. Her frustration and pain from teething seem to more often than not result in a tantrum (that can last up to an hour), and I find my self reaching for the calpol more often as a quick fix to her pain and frustration. So I'm looking for suggestions......

Oh gosh. We are going through a similar situation with our toddler. My son is getting his back molars and it's been a horrible ordeal. A friend of mine suggested Baby Ora Gel. We purchased the night-time one (cherry flavored) since most of his discomfort seemed to be occuring at night and its worked like a charm! Also, teething tablets help him with the discomfort, too. We are finally all getting a good night's sleep again! If you buy it, just squeeze a tiny bit onto a q-tip and rub it onto the gums. We were surprised at how great it worked!

Believe me I know exactly what you mean. Toddler teething is WAY worse than baby teething ever was! The screaming and tantrums were enough to send my hubby and I over the edge...lol. Nothing else seemed to soothe our little guy. I hope it works for you, too. Good luck!

One of the best natural alternatives to teething is amber necklaces that the baby wears. it is not a necklace that can be chewed.

the amber beads will reduce red, inflamed cheeks & drooling. It has been reputed to boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation of the throat, ear & stomach & assist with respiratory infection.

google them! they are very popular here in New Zealand and in Australia. pretty much every parent I know has one of these life savers!! they come in various colours too
