The 411 on 515.

I told my neighbor about Grant's teething woes and she had a GREAT idea! She told me to let him chomp on a frozen waffle. Frozen, textured and doesn't present a huge choking hazard since it just turns mushy. I tried it and it was a hit! It didn't stay frozen long enough - and it became a little messy....but it provided some temporary relief. What works for you?

I've had success along similar lines, with a frozen piece of pear (skin removed) at mealtime, or a rolled-up frozen washcloth at playtime (less messy). Tooth #3 just made its appearance yesterday!
Teething for Toddlers - two year old molars are coming in at our house, and our toddler puts toothbrushes in the freezer and takes them out once in a while to chew on, he actually gave himself this tip :)
Great ideas!!! I've found some Ibuprofen every now & then helps too. But NOTHING helps like when those teeth finally pop through. shwew!
I use the mesh containers w/ frozen fruit
Teething Tablets by Hyland - they are wonderful. I do inhome daycare and recommend this to all my daycare moms.
What are teething tablets? I have a 10 month old who has been teething off and on for months.

We take washcloths wet them, twist them, and put them in the freezer. Our little guy LOVES them. He chews and sucks on them for a long time.
