How often to you give tylenol?

For those teething babies....how often are you giving tylenol if at all? I hate to give it to her so I use it sparingly but she seems really bothered every day.

When Michael is really teething he gets a dose before he goes to sleep at night....

If he is bad during the day - cranky, hitting his face because his teeth hurt or yelping (yes my baby yelps like a puppy when he gets tooth pain) - then I'll give him a bit during the day. I try not to give it to him too often, but if I know he's in pain then I'll give it to him.

I've only felt the need to use it twice so far. It was only twice that it seemed he was suffering so bad that he needed it. But I know he's going to be a late bloomer with his teeth so it's probably going to get worse later on. He has no sign of teeth yet at all.

My son seems to be constantly teething but at a year no teeth. I rarely give it. I am not one to give it unless I know it is teething for sure and it is so hard to tell. Since 6 months he gums have been swollen and I always think a tooth is coming but no teeth.
