Teething 😭

Little one has a tooth about to cut through (you can see it just under the skin). He’s had two days of not being himself and today had just cried all day, constantly dribbling, biting, red cheek, temperature and I mean really really crying. He’s had teething granules, teething rings, I’ve massaged his gums and we’ve given a dose of calpol. He’s been cuddled all day and he is just not himself. We are currently driving round in The car to try and settle/get him to sleep. Is there any magical tips I can try? It’s been hard with both me and dad tomorrow and tomorrow I’m on my own and I’m already anxious about it. Any help/suggestions would be really appreciated 😭

I use a clean muslin, wet it through and put it in the freezer and let my baby bite down on it when they're gums are really sore x

@Rhiannon thank you! I’ll do that overnight x

Cucumber sticks fresh from the fridge have been a life saver here, obviously if you're not a fan of BLW this might not be for you but LO loved it x

If you haven’t tried a gel yet, I’d highly recommend Anbesol teething gel. You need to ask for it in the pharmacy, it’s not on the shelf, it’s stronger than the Bonjela gel. I always found the powders useless with my first! Also nurofen is better than Calpol for teething as it’s anti-inflammatory

@Danielle Thankyou! I will pop out and get both today x

@Jess have you frozen formula or breastmilk? We formula feed and I have 1oz of breastmilk left in my freezer I could try x

I’ve been seeing green onions/spring onions/scallions all over IG for teething pain! Not sure how old your baby is or if they’re ready for food like that but figured I’d mention!

Ive been giving bab a half dose of calpol (1.25) if nothing else works first, just takes the worst of it away

@Casey formula feed. She loves it 🥰 x

Same boat casey, I have tried everything and i mean everything nothing is working this is day 4 and I'm pulling my hair out there must be something stronger to give them.

@Sam I’ve tried all of the suggestions on here and the only thing that helped was the spring onion! Fins now back to his normal self mostly but I can see two bottom ones now 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
