teething

my little nephew is teething and his gums obviously hurts.He has all sorts of chewing toys .we looked for gel but i heard its not recommended to give to infants? is it?

How can this be helped.any tips?

Re: teething

carrot batons, keep them chilled in the fridge, they will have a nice calming effect, but you have to monitor the child just in case he ends up swallowing some.

i also gave my son a stick of 'miswaak' you have no fear of the child swallowing it, he loved his little stick, would chew on it and then play with it.

i tried bikkie pegs, teething salts, teething necklaces (apparently amber has a calming effect), but these did not help, my kids were happiest with carrot batons/pieces.
