Teething tablets?

[glitzy07]

Are these "woo"?  Anyone use them with their kids?

After being fussy at daycare all day today, I'm sort of convinced that D is hurting and it's probably teeth.  My coworker (who is sort of "woo"...) suggested Hyland's Teething Tablets.  Worth a shot?

I think they worked for ds1. I have some for ds2 already

I tried them on M for the first time last night. I think they helped because she was like wtf is this so that sort of stopped the MOTN crying jag and she was able to calm down. I also dosed her with ibuprofen.

I think they are woo, but we used them with DS.

I never tried the teething ones but did the cold tablets. I didn't think they did shit. 

[shellbear09]

We used them and they definitely helped. Our daycare requested them too.

Completely helped DD1 and I was a huge believer. DS and DD2 it had no affect except to distract them for a minute.

I didn't realize they were considered "woo". I'm not a "woo" type (LOL!), but I use the teething and the cold tablets for my DS and I believe they work. The cold tablets work very well, but not the liquid version.

I vote woo, plus I was admittedly put off by them after they were recalled (for containing over the legal limit of belladonna, I think?) when DS1 was a baby.

I feel more comfortable just giving ibuprofen or Tylenol.

They are woo but we use them and they seem to work. I figure they don't hurt, lol.

I bought and returned them after reading about this. I just wasn't willing to take the risk for woo and gave regular pain reliever instead, which worked fine for her.

We used them with DD, and I'm not sure if it was placebo or what, but they definitely helped with drool and nighttime wake-ups. Now that I've educated myself more about them, though, I'm in the woo camp.

DS got Tylenol and ibuprofen.

I think they're woo. They didn't do anything for DS and I submitted my receipt for a refund thanks to their guarantee.

We use them at bedtime. I think they help.

[pooh8402]

I also think they're woo, but we've used them too. I feel like maybe they help some, especially when it's too early to give another dose of motrin.

I don't give a shit about woo or not woo. THAT SHIT WORKS. So does the homeopathic stuff I use for cold/flu. I don't care what is/isn't in it, it all works wonders.

[rugbywife]

Oh, and I did lots of research on the belladonna stuff...even if I gave the entire bottle of tablets there wouldn't be enough belladonna to be dangerous. At one point, there was no expectation that each tablet have a specific amount of belladonna. Since the recall, that expectation has been changed and now they are expected to have no more than ### amount, which is why even a whole bottle wouldn't be lethal.

I tried it because I was desperate, but I don't think it helped.

I swear by the Amber teething necklace though.

They work for us. I couldn't survive teething without them. DS has even cried and pointed to the bottle MOTN when teething.

They are cheapest at Walmart. 250 tablet bottle for under $10.
