Teethers?

Does anyone have any suggestions that their teething child likes? My 19 mo has his side teeth (right before molars) coming in & is constantly chewing on his fingers- poor dude 😭 He hasn't liked anything we've tried yet: the cold Frida teethers, the expensive giraffe or zebra, the sensory straws, the mouth guard looking pacifier, the carrot, he doesn't like the cold wash cloth... What else is there? I ordered him the banana toothbrush thing today but everything else seems to be for babies 😓 Any suggestions?

This is gonna sound weird, but look in the dog toy section. My 19 month old always reaches for the dogs rubber toys when her mouth is bothering her. Just be careful of the scents and flavors, unless you dont mind him eating a bacon flavored squeaky toy 😂

Yikes. I’m going to follow this 💙

I swear by itzy ritzy. Like none of their products have failed us

Cold apple slices! My son absolutely loved chowing down on cold apple slices while he was getting some of those side teeth in! He’s also 19 months ♥️ Side note - did you find that your son had looser/mushy poops borderline diarrhea during this intense teething?

@Chrissy anyone specific? I looked thru their teethers on Amazon but nothing stood out for side teeth

Cold crispy cucumbers!

@jes https://www.itzyritzy.com/products/silicone-teether Mine never really took a pacifier but this got us through all teeth!

@Susan unfortunately he's hit or miss w cucumbers 😭

@Abby my son DEMANDS apples all day, everyday lol but it has to be whole! He might fire me as his mom if I tried cutting it 😅 Poop wise: occasionally for sure but now that you mention it, maybe once a day now... Is that like "a thing" w teething?

@Susan OMG! He loves pickles! I'll try that next time I see him chewing on his fingers- THANK YOU!

@Tonya I find him eating dog kibble & dipping his pacifier in the dog's water...I wouldn't be worried about him getting into flavored dog toys lol jk jk kinda 😏

@Kerri DONOHOO I found something he doesn't hate! It's the banana... When I see him chewing on his fingers, I offer him this & so far he's taken it pretty well. Of course I just got it ystrdy so we'll see if it continues but I'm hopeful!

@Heather maybe! He doesn't care for his cold Frida teethers he used to like for other teeth but maybe it's just the shape that doesn't hit in the right spot, do these could be diff. He absolutely refuses to try the cold wash clothes... Literally smacks them away 😅 I just got him a banana toothbrush-teether he likes so far, yay!

@jes yes I think it is! Cause my son had solid poops for a long time and then when those side teeth started coming in it was all mushy again! And nothing changed in his diet! But I’ve heard teething causes diarrhea for some reason!
