teething troubles

08/11/2007 at 19:06

Hi,
I've just had a trying few days, Kai is teething like crazy and was whingeing non stop-it was doing my head in!!! I really feel for him as it's the dreaded "fangs" making an appearance, but it really drove me to the limit. He's a lot better today and went to bed without a drama, let's hope we're over the worst of it.

Have you tried "Nelsons" or "Ashtons and Parsons". I can't remember which is which but one is a powder and the other is granules. I have friends who swear by them! Going to get some in ready for when I need them!

I don't know what you can get hold of in germanybut with both of mine i've found Dentinox teething gel fantastic.
Poor thing it must be horrible for them. I hope you're otherwise all well xx

Hi,
are they homeopathic remedies? I've got some, but this time they didn't work. Even Calpol seems to only take the edge of it.

Ooooh, we do get dentinox out here, I'll try that, thanks!

Glad you can get hold of it. It's better than bonjela as can be used quite regularly every 20mins i think. Let us know how you get on xx

I use Anbesol and it's much better than the gels - it really numbs the pain! (I've tried it)

Anbesol is good for ulcers too!! I didn't know that you could still get it!

Yes the 2 I suggested are homeopathic. I have a friend who used them on both her sons.

I know Boots have them. Our local pharmacy also stocks them, sorry I was away bathing Bronwyn. Decided to get her to bed earlier tonight as she's a bit grotty.

Im not the only one ith a grotty baby today then?

Caroline

No, she's not settlng tonight either! She's cryig halfheartedly at the minute, this is usually her hungry cry so i might try her with a bottle.

Kas

Bless her. Will this be it then, or does she still have a nite feed?

Caroline

I tricked her with the bottle, gave her the last ounce and then whipped the dummy in. It has done the trick as she has gone quiet! She will have a bottle between 4 and 6, its been 6 the last 2 days!
