A&A'smommy replied: thay aren't suppose to make them sleepy they are suppose to ease the pain so they can sleep. I bought them and I always give her three and if it doesn't seem to help I give her tylenol. I HATE teething time!

Guest replied: Hello ... I use them alot. Erica has had a non-stop stream of teething. She's working on her 8th tooth right now. Hasnt had a break since they started and she would wake up screaming in her sleep b/c of them. When we give her the tablets... she becomes restful and goes right back to sleep.

The tablets dont make babies sleepy. There are supposed to be no side effects. It's that they will make the baby restful b/c it takes the pain away. They will be able to sleep. Erica sees those things and gets excited. I think she understands they make her feel better.

So for Erica... they have been wonderful. Better than any infant tylenol has dont in the past. Before my husband found these.

ediep replied: I use them too, but they don't make Jason sleepy. I think that they work to ease the pain, well at least he likes taking them!

Mom2Boyz replied: We use them for Conner, and they don't seem to make him sleepy. They must work pretty well, because now when he sees me getting them, he gets all excited

BTW...on how many teeth in a short period of time. My eldest DS got his fast too. But Gabe (21 mos) has taken FOREVER. LOL. Poor guy is still working on his eye teeth. They must be growing a millimeter at a time!

Also...frozen washcloths are great for numbing them up.

coasterqueen replied: The teething tabs never worked for Kylie. It was suggested to use the teething gel by Hylands, that it works better. I didn't need to try it because her last of her two year molars came in before needing it. Before that we always used motrin.
