Orajel?

[Shandelion]

Does anyone use orajel on babies? My stepmother gave me orajel at my baby shower, but the instructions say 2 years and older. I know instructions don't always match reality.

We use Orajel Naturals. It doesn't have benzocaine (a numbing agent) in it like normal Orajel which is NOT recommended to use at all anymore as it can numb the child's throat and they can stop breathing.

Eek. Thank you. Guess I'll keep it for my own toothaches.

He's not fussy or upset, I just wanted to offer something when he was chewing a lot..
