I was introduced to Hyland's by some veteran mom friends.  Hyland's "had me at hello" so to speak.  Seriously.  Teething rings don't do anything for my kids.  The orajel stuff and the like?  Um, no.  I put it on my gum once...or tried to.  It got all over my mouth EXCEPT where I put it and my mouth was all numb and felt weird for about an hour.  That went right into the trash after my experiment...I figured if as a 31 year old I wasn't able to get the gels on where I needed them most how was I supposed to get them on my baby's gums when she wouldn't just let me put a finger in her mouth? ...
