So it's been a while.....what's the consensus on Hylands teething tablets?
Used them for DS when h was teething but he's 3 1/2 so it's been a while. I know they were recalled at some point.... Are they back n the shelves?

wow, the fact that they are off the shelves, isn't good. I better throw out the bottles that I have.
Do you know if Humphries is recalled also?

Re: So it's been a while.....what's the consensus on Hylands teething tablets?
they were recalled due to the amount of belladonna in them (even thought its such a ridiculously small amount). haven't been on the shelves since. that was a WHILE ago, i would say at least 4-5months.

Re: So it's been a while.....what's the consensus on Hylands teething tablets?
from my ped
I do not recommend Humphreys at ALL!!! It contains belladonna which is a known neuro- toxin. I have included info about what I like to do for teething.
Teething
Teething sucks. It is horrible watching our kids suffer. Every kid responds to teething differently, and the same child responds to each tooth coming through differently. Here are some ideas on how to keep our children as comfortable as possible.
· Teething rings-especially the ones kept in the freezer/refrigerator.
· Small white hand towels-wash and dry them the same way you do the child’s clothing. When they are dry, put them in the freezer, and when they get cold let the child chew on them. Several children like to chew on fabrics, so this may be very helpful. Buy a set of 3-4, so one can be in the child’s mouth, one in the freezer, and one in the laundry, etc.
· Fresh Food Feeders: Instead of food, put ice cubes in them. You can buy them at local baby stores like Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby.
· Oil of Clove: A safe, all natural remedy for teething. It is applied directly to the gums up to 4 times/day. It tingles at first, and then it relieves the pain. If you find it is too strong, you can mix it with olive oil.
· Camilia Teething Remedy: Natural homeopathic chamomile. Comes as single dose vials that the child drinks. Natural calming and anti-inflammatory effects.
· When all else fails-Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil or generic forms) or Acetaminophen (Tylenol or generic forms) may be the only option. Ibuprofen tends to work better for teething pain since it last longer and as anti-inflammatory effects that Acetaminophen does not possess. Ibuprofen can only be used for children > 6 months of age.
· WE DO NOT RECOMMEND BABY ORAJEL OR ANBESOL. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND HYLAND’S or HUMPHREY’S TEETHING TABLETS OR TEETHING GEL.

Our ped feels similarly, although didn't go into as much detail about what she DOES recommend. She definitely specified that Orajel, Anbesol, any gels, and teething tablets, drops, etc. are not safe to use. She recommends good old fashioned teethers, and a dose or 2 of Tylenol for the really rough times.

I would question your ped if they understand what the processing of these homeopathic teething tablets and how much belladonna is actually in it.
MY DH is a physican and said exactly what your peds are saying. He's young and goes by the book. Has no idea about anything outside the book. I think he's a good doctor, but has a lot to learn.
My ped on the other hand, comes from a family of peds. He's teaches at university, extreemly reputable, and has a working scientific understanding of homeopathic medicine. He says there is no harm, but don't expect any benefit.
Anyone who thinks there is any harm from these teething tablets is ignorant of what they actually are and that alone for a doctor is a good reason to say they aren't safe. I'm not saying your peds aren't knowledgeable, I'm just saying I feel like so many physicians don't have enough respect for alternative medicine to even bother understanding it. Its not taught at med school. And if you think that's okay, I was diagnosed with a debilitating disorder when I was prego, that is not taught in med school. I had to be diagnosed by a phsycial therapist who essentially cured me. Its weird complicated politics of profit that keeps doctors from learning what could help people, even when it wont save anyone's life. I remind my DH of this all the time. The end result shouldn't always be to save someone's life, but to give them a better quality of life, and that is not taught in med school unless it goes under the title of elective procedures for huge profits.
Not trying to start drama, just food for thought.

Our ped is definitely aware of alternative and nontraditional treatments, and has recommended some for other things in the past. The problem with things like Hyland's tablets, etc. is that they are not regulated by the FDA, so there is no true "authority" keeping them in check and verifying that what they are asserting is true and that their product is 100% safe. That is the concern with products like that. It would not have been recalled if it was 100% undeniably safe.

Just an FYI
The tablets where recalled, BUT the gel which also "contains" belladonna was not. The processing of belladonna is the same in both. I don't know why the gel was okay by FDA. I guess orajel didn't feel threatened by it 
The FDA also doesn't regulate the making of bread, and in large enough amounts anything can be harmful. You just have to choose to trust your bread is being made the way you expect bread to be made. I trust the hylands a 100 year old company is making homeopathic remedies the way they are supposed to be making them.

I don't think bottled water is regulated either right? Or is just certain types of bottled water?
I hope Humphreys starts producing the strips again. Now THEY are awesome!

Sorry but I am going to have to disagree with this. There are many things not regulated that are not recalled. And it was a voluntary recall. If you do some research on Belladonna poisoning then you will see how ridiculous this whole thing is. You are putting your child at a much bigger risk by giving them tylenol or motrin, both regulated.
I trust Hylands way more then I trust the FDA.

I agree Katie and not too long ago all baby meds made by tylenol were recalled as well.

Re: So it's been a while.....what's the consensus on Hylands teething tablets?
The recall wasn't because belladonna is used in the tablets, it was because the doasge in hyland's wasn't accurate. Some kids presented with belladonna poisoning and the manufacturing process was investigated. They found some tablets had extremely high amounts where others had safe amounts. Sorry, it's late and i'm tired, i can't make my brain work to explain it better right now

no belladonna poisoning was ever linked. the cases were never re-discovered, and many rumors floating that somehow the makers of orajel made up something to get the tablets pulled because they felt they were stealing their market.
Hylands in fear of looking irresponsible pulled it.

Re: So it's been a while.....what's the consensus on Hylands teething tablets?
They didn't do anything for my kids, and then when I heard about the belladonna I decided it wasn't really worth it anyway.
They loved frozen fruit in the mesh feeder, and I'd use motrin at night if they couldn't sleep.

If I'm thinking of the same recall, it was only ones with a certain batch number(s) because an error was made in the production of those specific batches. It wasn't about the process or ingredients of all tylenol products.

Recall or not, tylenol affects the kidneys and motrin affects the liver. It has to be processed in the body and there has been plenty of research that has shown the damage both can do.
I still give my DS tylenol and motrin, but they are not safer then Hylands.

Thank you for writing this Shana. Your answer is just what I wanted to say
This is what I read about it when I was researching Humphrey's
Oct. 25, 2010 -- The FDA says some infants who took Hyland Teething Tablets show signs of belladonna poisoning.
The product is being recalled. Consumers should immediately stop using and discard Hyland's Teething Tablets.
The tablets, a homeopathic remedy, are supposed to contain vanishingly small amounts of belladonna, a toxin from a poisonous plant known as deadly nightshade.
After inspecting the Hyland manufacturing facility, the FDA says the Teething Tablets contain "varying amounts of belladonna, a potentially toxic ingredient" and that Hyland's maintains "substandard control of the manufacturing operation."
The FDA has received reports of "serious adverse events in children taking this product that are consistent with belladonna toxicity."
Symptoms of belladonna poisoning are depressed level of consciousness, seizure, difficulty or slowed breathing, lethargy, sleepiness, muscle weakness, skin flushing, constipation, difficulty urinating, and agitation.
If a child shows any of these symptoms after taking Hyland's Teething Tablets, call a health care professional immediately. Side effects from the product should be reported to the FDA at 800-332-1088 or at the fda.gov/medwatch web site.
So like I said, some kids presented with belladonna poinsoning. Whether poinsoning was confirmed, I do not know. I never researched it any further because DS couldn't take Hylands because of the dairy (the pharmacist thought Humphreys was recalled which was why I was researching).

I saw that article too. It is unbelievably vague. I have more information on this topic but don't have it in front of me. But Adverse events have been reported but the "FDA has said that a conclusive link has NOT been determined." So all of the recall reasons are inconclusive.
