to ask for advice on soothing DS

[startrek90]

Posting for traffic.

I have an 8 month DS who has 3 front teeth coming in at the same time. My neighbour below me has complained tat he is crying too much. He was crying this morning and just now (I thought we had managed to minimize the noise )

My landlady said not to panic and that babies cry (she had 4 and so is very sweet and understanding) but I have no ideas. DS has had maximum teething gel and right now seems ok. We moved his bedroom so its not above the neighbours bedroom and we keep all the windows shut. But I have no clue...have you any ideas?

I know most people can't cope with baby's crying and it's no fun for me either. I am at my wots end and my neighbour is annoyed. I don't want to get kicked out

The nelsons teetha granules worked for both of my two.
Ds bit on the chew toys.
Dd didn't like them. She bit all her dummies instead.

The things that keep my lo happy are -carrying in a sling
-breastfeeding whenever she cries
-mealtimes
-going out and about in pram/sling/car esp to wooded parks
Not sure if we've hit teething yet though

I used to freeze wet, wrung-out cotton face cloths and let my sons chew on them. Worked great.

As far as topicals, we used Orajel and clove oil. This was many, many years ago so you may want to check if the clove oil is still ok to use for babies.
