Teething - tylonol

My daughter just started teething and I know that you can give them tylonol every 4 hours but how much is too much?

Hi Christine,
Check with your ped before you give any medications. They usually go by the weight of your child. I only give tylenol if she seems to be in a lot of pain and it is only at night to help her sleep. I also have orajel that comes in what looks like a q-tip, this way I can put it right on the gums. The others that come in a tube are not good since the baby will end up swallowing too much and they could choke. I also used cold wet washcloths, teething toys and just rubbing her gums with my finger. Once the tooth breaks the skin the pain should not be as bad. (until the next one comes in, lol)

I DONT GIVE TYLENOL UNLESS SEH HAS A FEVER. I USE A BABY SOCK AND PUT ANICE CUBE IN IT. ELLA LOVES IT. IT LAST A LONG TIME AND SHE GETS THE WATER. AND VERY NUMB GUMS.
