    Try some Calpol, honestly, it will help him :)
    I think that we will get some in the morning - it is just not like him to be upset like this and we ended up crying too, we hate seeing him so upset. Thanks!

    Understandable! I hate seeing my babies in pain too and I know how you feel. Have you tried the teetha granules? I think they work on my two...

    We have just used the gel so far, he was in good form last night after his huge cry and is happily trying to eat his clothes now! He loves his teething ring.

    Cathy your poor little boy, it is so hard seeing them in pain, you'd love to take the pain away for them :(


    I absolutely SWEAR by calgel for my little mouse. She hates bonjela, but a teeny bit of calgel & it gives her instant relief.
    I was cutting a wisdom tooth recently & rubbed some on my gums & it was very good, numbed the throbbing gum.
    Unfortunately its only available in UK/up North

    I seen an interesting alternative to the amber necklace, an amber bangle for the mum to wear & baby to chew on (a one piece/no individual beads)
    I like the thoughts of a natural remedy though wouldn't put a necklace on my little girl, shes well able to swing out of my hair with an iron grip so a necklace wouldn't stand a chance!

    I found the nurofen better than the calpol for my baba, she doesn't get a temperature mainly swollen red gums so the ibuprofen was brill for reducing the inflammation :)

    Teegel and Gumeze are other gel options and both work quiet well.

    Does anyone know if I can use any of these methods on a child under 3 months? Mae cut her first 2 teeth at 6 weeks and she's been suffering for 2 weeks! I tried the gummy teething soothers but she gags on them.

    I think the Teetha Gel is 2 months. You can give calpol from 2 months too. If you ask the pharmacist they'll be able to tell you all of the options.
