I "think" I am doing the wrong thing. Gillian is always so relaxed that I dont think to give her tylenol until she is screaming beyond belief. I am thinking that maybe I should give it to her before she gets to that point since her gums are so swollen. Did anyone do this multiple times a day? I dont feel a thing in her mouth either ...my poor baby! Chat Icon

Nope. I generally only give tylenol for fevers. I think maybe I gave it twice total for teething. I guess that makes me a mean mommy.

We are very restrictive in giving Alex medication, even when she has a slight fever, I let the fever do its work and only medicate if she's uncomfortable or super cranky.

Remember, tylenol is still a drug, and it affects their little liver. If you choose to medicate all day, make sure you stay within the dosage amounts and recommended times.

No. On occassion I would give her Motrin before bed if she was super cranky but she does pretty well with teething...

he has 2 teeth and I never gave tylenol. He drinks cold water and that helps him. I also wet a wash cloth, wrap it on my finger and let him bite at that, he loves that.

I havent been giving her tylenol at all. I guess I will continue no to based on your opinions which I generally agree with. I thought I was in the wrong... Thanks for the responses.

I only give it at night and only if he is having a hard time falling asleep. I would say to keep doing what you're doing.
