am i the only one that has been told NOT to give frozen teething rings? my son will be 5 months but has been teething for the past month or so and thankfully he is fine but i don't give him frozen teethers. i refridgerate his but he prefers a clean cloth that had been dampened and cooled. also, i have NEVER heard about giving gripe water for teething. Gripe water is generally to relieve gas and you can make your own by either using fennel seeds or anise seed (star anise is much too strong) and boiling water and pouring it over a couple of seeds. also, you might want to help it along by taking a cool clean cloth and placing it over your finger and running it over his gums. that helps cut them much quicker. try freezing a banana and slicing it into rounds - it melts fast and is healthy.
