Toddler teething pain relief?

Fan Question
-Krista✨

So my little guy just turned 18 months & has been teething like crazy for the past few weeks, hes been extremely fussy & hasn’t slept good the last week or so, I can tell hes in pain a lot of times due to his swollen gums… And for some reason he completely stopped taking his bottle, he refuses to take any milk, at first I thought it was the nipple of the bottle hurting in his mouth maybe but I put milk in his sippy cup & he still refused it… Hes still growing & I know he still needs to drink lots of milk but I cant force him… any advice??

Try yogurt. Still has good stuff

Pedialite popsicles and a amber teething necklace

Kick the bottle habit while you have the chance! Try a straw cup. My toddler loves the Thermos Fogoo.

My Oldest was Breastfed until 1 and a half, he was done teething, he needed a bottle for those fussy tired times, had a bottle up until 2 years of age.
-sugar free popsicle, frozen fruit and cold applesauce.

  • Tylenol for those hard times

Childrens Motrin before bedrock as u feel he really needs it & all natural teething tablets by Nuby works wonders!!’

Numb his gums to make him more comfortable to drink milk(not formula) because they do need the vitamins from it, and maybe it’s time to switch to the sippy cup as well. Nuk is a good brand for sippys or nubby to

Give him tylenor, every four hours and i think he will eat.

Take to r is the best recommendation I can give you meanwhile I will be praying for you and baby God bless you both

When my daughter turned 1 and we had to switch from formula to regular milk she couldn’t tolerate it and her pediatrician said she didn’t really care if she drank bottles of milk at all anymore. :woman_shrugging:t2:
