Teething?

My LG is 3 months old, she’s usually fussy on the bottle due to CMPA but recently has been worse, she’s constantly wanting things in her mouth, toys, dummy’s, and when I give her a bottle she’s just holding the teat in her mouth without sucking so I’m wondering if the warm milk is soothing for her. I’ve gave her calpol yesterday due to the fussing and she started taking the bottle easier I’m hoping this is because some of the pain from her teeth has been relieved? Any advice would be appreciated

Definitely looks like it! Unfortunately lots of the teething gels etc start from 5 months, but Im pretty sure you can use ashtons and parsons powder, just double check. Rub it in with a clean finger, it really helped my little one when she was 4 months so I didnt have to give calpol or nurofen unless really really needed

Certainly looks like little teethies getting ready to cut through!! I second Ashton and Parsons teething powder as suggested above but just a note, you don’t rub it in, you put it on the end of their tongue to dissolve as the instructions on the packet says. For babies 3-6 months they suggest using half the packets contents x

@CeeCee been to the chemist and they’ve said there’s nothing over the counter that they can sell me and I’d need a doctors prescription 🙄 will try and find that powder, hopefully it’ll help

@Tierney will have to try and find the powder, chemist has said they can’t sell me anything and I’d need a prescription 🥴

@Charlotte ooo I have these but haven’t had them out because I only thought about using it for food and weaning, do you think I’d be able to use formula milk in them?

The ashtons and parsons also do a testing gel from 3 month which has really helped my little girl the last few days x

@Tierney I’ll take a walk to the supermarket and see if I can find it. Thank you :)

@Jade I’ll have a look for it when I go the shops, thank you

@Laura-jane ashton parsons contain lactose! Absolute pain as my little boy is CMPA too but we’ve been advised to avoid. You can get anbesol gel which I believe is suitable from 3m+ and has no dairy! Otherwise neurofen is good as it reduces the inflammation, we’ve found it soothes him much better than calpol x

@Charlotte anbesol is 5 months 😭

@CeeCee devastating! Honestly I bought it from the pharmacy and they didn’t say anything and I’ve been giving it since 4 months 😬

The powder didn’t do nothing for me , im using anbesol however the effect doesn’t last. I do give 2.5ml calpol when he gets veryy fussy and the combo of both makes him very calm. He sleeps 7-8 h at night and during the day he is not as fussy as before. I just imagine if my teeth hurts and i get a gel it does nothing without an anti inflammatory medicine to reduce heat swelling and pain. My boy is 3 months btw
