Teething - any tips?
in Baby
Hi everyone,
Isabelle has just turned 4 months yesterday and it looks like she has started teething, she is off her food, has got little red cheeks, keeps dribbling and puts anything she can get her hands on in her mouth to chew.
I was just wondering what you all recommended to help ease the discomfort? Are there any certain teethers I should look out for? Does Bonjels work well? Is there anything else I can get that will help? And should I be giving her calpol or nurofen for children at all?
Thanks

I am going to try those powders as an alternative.
How do they work? what do u do with them? xxx
If your LO is weaning/weaned then you can also use chilled carrot/cucumber/celery sticks just watch incase your LO shoves too much into their mouth.
MummyHeather - the Ashton & Parsons powders are homeopathic. They contain Matricana which, I think, is a natural pain-reliever. I just lie my LO flat and pour the contents of the satchet onto his tongue and the granuals dissolve.
