How to Relieve a Toddler's Teething Pain

Babies and toddlers suffer from teething. It is a hard period for parents, too. It's not easy to take care of a teething toddler. They get irritated and fussy, and you often don't know how to make them feel better. These tips can help.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tylenol for kids or Motrin for kids
• Oragel for kids
• Rubber toys they can chew on

1. 

   Relieve their pain with children's Tylenol or Motrin, especially before bedtime. Kids wake up often through the night and cry from the pain of teething.

2. 

   Rub their gums with Oragel for kids. Be careful, as they may bite hard. Push your finger to the side of their mouth, not in the middle.

3. 

   Have rubber toys handy and give them to the toddler to chew on. Kids get tired of the same toy. Have at least 2 different toys.

4. 

   Take toddlers to parks and outside for walks as often as possible to distract them from their teething.
