Does rubbing brandy on the gums work during teething?

Hi Samantha , I think the Brandy is meant for us to help our pain when LO teeths.Ok, just joking. Although past generations of parents have used brandy or whiskey to soothe teething pain, no amount of alcohol is thought to be safe for infants so resist any urges you may have to follow in that tradition. Alternatively you can gently massage the gums with a small washcloth with teething gel ,this action may help soothe the sore spots while also soaking up any excess drool. Children may also feel better if they gnaw on chilled, but not frozen, teething rings or safe toys made of rubber or cotton terrycloth. You can offer teething biscuits too.

LOs are still very young to be 'consuming' alcohol. All those are just myths and I think there are better ways to relieve a teething baby. 1. Cold teether 2. Teething biscuit 3. Cold fruits 4. Teething gel

You don't want to try this—no matter what you've likely heard from an older family member (who's probably just trying to be helpful). Giving your baby booze, even a little, is neither safe nor recommended
