What can my sister do about her 5 day old baby teething?

He’s growing 2 teeth on the bottom and I guess he’s extremely fussy and chewing on everything, she isn’t sure how to help him since he’s so young. Any tips? :)

Answer #1

Teething rings, put them in the fridge and give them to the baby. Also teejel helps to relieve the itch.

Answer #2

Because I know she was told he’s to young for any form of medicine because he was only born last saterday.

Answer #3

5 days, jeez. Sorry I read 5 months. Best ask the pharmacist or doctor, but babies of 5 days can take panado (paracetamol) syrup, that should help.

Answer #4

Maybe a chew rag?

Answer #5

Are you sure it’s teething, and not colic?

Answer #6

She can see them pushing up on his gums. There right on the brink of erupting.

Answer #7

Poor thing … definitely get something cool for him - a damp cloth put in the freezer for a bit should help.

Answer #8

Yeah I was like poor baby he gets a shock being born first off and now he’s in pain :( Thank you though :)

Answer #9

they sell gell teething rings you can put in the freezer or fridge. the old school answer is putting a drop of rum on the nipple of there bottles but that’s frowned on these days.

Answer #10

buy him humphrey I think thats how you spell it but its real good they will come out faster and a little less painless .. either way when teething its still going to hurt even with medicine … but hope this helps :)
