omg my daughter is getting her first tooth and when ever she is awake she is screaming... it's driving us nuts... my son got all his teeth without a peep and i've never delt with this before, we've tried seda-gel and the old whisky trick but nothing is working, she wont even drink her bottles, she just has a sip and yells at me... whatdoido, whatdoido???? any ideas would be helpful pleaseeeeee
Teething rings are great, both our girls had a snail shaped teether, they are even better when you put them in the freezer for a little while then let her suck on it. As its so cold it can feel really nice on the sore gum and numb it a little, if a teething ring won't do the trick pop down to your local chemist and ask for " Bonjella" its a teething gel with a local anaesthetic in it that will numb the gums for up to 3 hours. Goodluck
yep the teething ring (wentout to get one yesterday arvo) in the freezer works great but she pulls a rully funny face at me because it's so cold... it's kept her quiet for a couple of hours, thanx for that. :)'s for you
A friend of mine got me a bottle of tablets from the chemist called: "Hylands" Teething Relief - they are tiny, disolvable tablets that are made from Homeopathic ingredients to relieve the discomfort of teething. They worked great for my son, who refused to let me apply teething gel. not sure how much they cost......but they are worth it!
My son didn't like chewing rusks or teething toys either, so i gave him a Wooden Dolly peg (available from craft stores) to chew on - he loves it...chews happily on it for hours.
i use a teething gel from the US and I have seen it here....oragel...it has lignicaine. anything with caine in it is a good thing. fingers rubbing on sore gums is suppose to help give counter pressure if you can get fingers in.
try icy poles made from milk, breast milk, juice/diluted juice to gnaw on....
well thanks, hehe your post has cheered me up considerably :)'s for you cool idea about the icepoles, she hasn't eaten much so that might help get some thing in her belly too thanx.
I know exactly how you feel. When Miss 6 cut her first tooth she not only cut one but 4 all at once!!!! I tried all the teething gels on the market and nothing worked. The only thing that would stop the pain for her was Panadol. I didn't give it to her everyday, only the first 24 hours of the tooth coming through. I am not a big fan of giving pain relief unless it really is needed but for Miss 6's sake and my sanity, it was the only thing that worked. Hope this helps in some small way. Thinking of you and really can empathise with what you are going through.
All the best,
yep, we gave her a dose of panadol yesterday arvo after i logged off and she had a good 3 hours sleep. some quiet time for my son to get some school work done finally after it kicked in thanx :)'s
Hi! Depending on how old she is I'd dose her up with everything she's allowed eg (UK) paracetamol & ibuprofen.
I remember a few days someone saying that putting a facecloth/flannel in the freezer then giving it to them to chew was good. My DD1 was older and good at swallowing so I froze a skinned babana and gave it to her to chew.
