I use bonjela on Bailey's gums, it's a gel, i haven't heard anything bad about it, in fact everyone here uses it! I also use baby panadol or nurofen for the pain if he is grizzly and can't sleep.

Ya I stopped using the oraljel and using tyenol and a cold wet hand towel he loves to chew on it already lol...the oraljel I was using says it was homeopathic that is why I bought it but not reading yhe greastest reviews..Kendrick is ok when I apply the oraljel to his gums and he doesn't mind what it tastes like but im just going to use it for reasons if we forget to buy tyenol or something. .

Emma did u try the cabbage leafs ?

I like homeopathic teething remedy. You can. Get them at the health food store. They're little pellets that dissolve immediately on the baby's tongue. My pediatrician said they're safe. I'll see if I can find mine and somehow get a picture to you so you know what I'm talking about.

I've never used orajel for that reason. We aren't even allowed to use it at the daycare with a doctors note. I've never tried teething tablets because they seem like they wouldn't do anything and could be a choking hazard. I give my children Tylenol or Ibuprofen for teething but you can't use ibuprofen if they are under 6 months.
