Anyone with an infant knows that achieving a full night of uninterrupted sleep is a rare surprise. That was my story too, until I was introduced to Orajel Baby.

My now eight-month-old daughter and I can attest to that. It has become increasingly difficult for her to get a good night’s sleep as her tiny teeth begin breaking through her gums. As a result, I’ve been looking far and wide for more toys and products to help relieve some of the pain, irritation, and of course, sleeplessness.

I’ve been recommended just about everything: teething crackers, wooden and silicone rings, baby toothbrushes, pacifiers, a damp washcloth, and the list goes on. Most of my attempts to ease her pain have gone awry — she prefers throwing most of these objects on the ground over chewing on them.

Finally, a family friend suggested I try Orajel Baby, a pediatrician-recommended gel that instantly cools and soothes babies’ gums. The directions are very straightforward: simply use a fingertip or cotton applicator to apply a small pea-size amount of gel and spread it over the gums. After just one night of use, I noticed a world of difference — hardly any restlessness or cranky mid-morning crying sessions.

It’s important to specify that Orajel Baby is now completely drug-free. The brand differs from many other teething gels because it does not contain benzocaine — a topical anesthetic that the FDA warns could lead to breathing problems and potentially life-threatening conditions, such as methemoglobinemia. Still, as with any baby product, It’s important to consult your physician before use.

Orajel Baby Twin Pack is offered in both day and night versions, with chamomile added for additional sleep support before bedtime. The product has over 25,000 ratings on Amazon, with an average of 4.6 stars. Many shoppers were shocked at how fast it works, and others called it a “miracle worker” and “God-send.” My takeaway — getting a good night’s sleep for under $6 is well worth it.
