Newborn teething
My 15 week old daughter is teething and nothing we seem to do helps to soothe her. I have treid a wet washcloth, teething rings, tylenol, and baby orajel. Any suggestions to help ease the pain?

Try massaging her gums with your clean fingers. Being close to you will be comforting and you will be helping those new teeth to break through the skin.

Baby Orajel usually worked okay for my daughter, but when she was teething REALLY badly, I dabbed a little bit of vanilla extract on her gums and that seemed to work like a charm. Give it a try. My parents used to rub rum on my gums, but some people aren't cool with that. :-) I hope everything works out okay. That was the toughest stage was the teething stage - for me atleast (and for my daughter).

Thanks for the input about the vanilla extract, I am going to give it a try.
