Teething

What is everyone using for teething? My LG tooth is finally cutting through and it’s been a very rough few days with lots of tears and been very unsettled all day everyday. We’ve tried the Aston parsons powder but they don’t seem to be working on her, calpol is the only thing that helps her but it says on the package it shouldn’t be used for more than 3 days so now I’m at a loss on what else to try. We’ve tried teething toys ect and she just throws them in a tantrum after 30 seconds🙈

Have you tried putting the toys in the freezer or freezing breastmilk and giving to her

@Elizabeth Aneiros I’ve tried them in fridge as it’s not recommended to put them in the freezer & I don’t BF anymore so unable to try breast milk unfortunately x

I was told that nurofen is better for teething that calpol. Ashtons also make a gel which has a little brush applicator on it which could be useful

@Lauryn thank you! I’ll have a look today for that. Calpol does help her but because it says you can’t give it more than 3 days I’m not wanting to give it for a few days. I’ll have a look and see what the Nurofen says x

Calpol says that because if a fever or pain goes on for longer than a few days then the recommendation is for a GP review. If you know what the source of pain is ie. teeth then no harm from continuing to give if it’s needed until the tooth cuts through in a couple of days. as long as you’re not exceeding the daily dose. Or try nurofen as an anti inflammatory it works really well ☺️

Anbesol is the best thing, can only get it over the counter but really helps x

@Harriet great thank you! I only really give the calpol at bedtime so i will continue to give her that if needed as I know it works for her x

@Sophie I got some of this today! I haven’t yet tried it but will definitely try on the really rough days lol x
