My son will be 8 months old soon and He started getting teeth at 4 months old. He now has 2 bottom teeth and 4 teeth coming in on top! He is miserable sometimes and the only thing I was recommended was Teething Tablets and they do not seem to phase him. Help any tips or advice?

Try frozen pieces of fruit like watermelon or bananas in a mesh feeder to prevent choking, a cold wet wash cloth, biter biscuits, cold teething toys or teething blankets. I like these because it is something to cuddle with while chewing the teether parts relieves teething discomfort.

The teething tablets did not work for us either and he wouldn't chew on anything cold. I was up for anything to help our son and we found "Homeopathic Teething Liquid" made by Gental Naturals you can find it at Walgreens or CVS this stuff worked great. Also my dad told me when we were teething he gave us jerky. We tried it and watched very close so he didn't choke and it helped our son get through it. We did the jerky thing at 7 and 8 months plus we still use it.
