Dear Dr. Markel,

Hi my baby girl is 5 months old and going through rough teething moments. She is working hard to cut the bottom two front teeth. But she is so uncomfortable.

She sleeps right beside us at night and wakes every few hours. I end up holding her until she falls in a deep sleep and then I put her to sleep in her crib beside our bed. We give her hylands teething tablets and gripe water and I have started drinking chamomille tea. She really doesn't seem to like teethers. What do you recommend to ease there pain? What are the best options for teething. I breast feed still and so I know frozen food to suck on is not the answer at the moment. Please suggest the best natural remedies for me to use to alleviate her pain and to give to her.

Thanks!
