How do I get my teething baby to fall asleep!?!?
I'm very tired and I feel like I've tried everything. I tried feeding her, rocking her, patting her back, rubbing/massaging her gums, giving her teething gel, trying the have her chew on her teething ring. None of them worked. She's 5 months and it looks like the tooth (bottom) could pop out any day or week now. Any suggestions? Please and thank you!!

Sounds daft and not an immediate solution but I got my daughter a Hazelwood necklace and since shes had it it has been very rare that she needs teething gel or anything. It balances the acid in the body, I have no idea how that acctually helps with teething but has made my life much easier, she is rarely grumpy or kept awake with teeth, had it for over a year and she's needed ambesol twice.

If it's really bad, you can try giving her infant advil (ibprofen) or infant tylenol. I used it in the worst situations. My son is almost 22 months and he's starting to get his 2nd year molars. Some nights he wakes up crying so hard and says "mouth, owie". I don't like to give medication but sometimes I just have to. There is no sense in making him suffer. The advil seems to work best.
Good luck and remember 'this too shall pass' ;)

As a last resort you could use ibuprofen. It works! Call your doctors office for dosing information.
