Does Baby Orajel Cause Drowsiness In An Infant?
Everytime I give my 4 month old daughter nighttime baby orajel she passes out completely within 10 minutes of giving it to her. Does it make her drowsy or is it just a coincidence because it literally just starter happening the very moment I started giving it to her. She is even sleeping threw the night now which is rare

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Baby Orajel is not related to drowsiness to baby whom it has applied.
The feeling of drowsiness could be due to rubbing of baby orajel but jel itself doe not cause drowsiness.
Also,if the baby is started sleeping in night is not so abnormal,sometimes baby's sleeping habit may get changed.
If still you have any doubt,consult nearby GP or pediatrician for more information.
