So, no clove oil?

[anna7602]

Is this the new reco? I was searching online for whether I dilute clove oil in 1 T of olive oil or more and how many drops, etc., when I came upon a few sites that say clove oil is no longer recommended in teething babies. This is what I used on DD with great success years ago.

I've tried Hyland's gel, the Boiron chamomile drops, frozen rings, wet wash cloths and just got back from the health food store with my little vial of clove oil.

Anyone?

I thought this was to do with inducing labour and I was all confused but I think that's castor oil anyway.

We like giving her frozen peas when she is teething. A friend sticks. wet washcloths in the freezer and her dd likes to suck on them.

In England people use bongela or similar, you know, the numbing stuff for canker sores.

We dice a fruit Popsicle into pea size bites...

Yes, but the potential side effects are more serious in kids (probably because of their smaller size), especially when used over an extended period of time.  

Ah, makes sense. I just remember everything tasting like cloves for days. I still hate clove.

Me too. I can't smell it without horrible memories.

We used teething tabs and the frozen washcloth, but I wouldn't say that anything we tried really did much.

You're in NYC right?   My mom recently gave DD a stale-ish mini bagel and she went nuts for it.  Chewed it to bits.  Seemed to help a lot.
