Calpol or not Calpol

I've literally just had this discussion internally with myself lol I eliminated as many other problems that I could (hunger, nappy, tiredness, bored etc) and realised that my baby would only settle down when lying in my arms chewing on one of her teething toys. Even when I was still snuggling with her, when she dropped or threw her toy away, she screamed the house down again. Figured I had ruled most other things out, and if she wanted to chew something, she must be in some kind of discomfort. She had Calpol at 1155 and appears to have settled considerably thankfully Trust your mum instincts. You got this💪🏻

I had the exact same thoughts and like Steffi, I addressed everything and even tried teething powder and she was still super miserable. She’s not slept much (because I think she’s in pain) so I gave some ibuprofen and she’s been napping for nearly 40 mins

If you think it’s teething, try anbesol liquid on their gums. It’s amazing and works instantly. I only give my little one calpol if that doesn’t sort it out. He has a tooth broke through just now so it’s pretty constant but I try and avoid calpol unless I feel he really needs it

If you think it’s teething try anbesol, it’s been a life saver for us x

If it’s tooth pain I’d go for ibruprofen over Calpol. I’d also for the anbesop that has a local anaesthetic in it to help with the pain. Xx
