Brauer Infant Teething Relief - it is magic stuff and I swear by it!

I agree - I have lots of success with the Brauer Teething mix. I also use the same formula as Brauer, but without the flavour and sweetness - great for sensitive bubs.

If the mix doesn't work for you, it's well worth seeing a Naturopath or Homeopath so they can prescribe individually for your child's exact symptoms.

All the best - hang in there!

Thank you both for your replies.

I use SM33 teething gel (also from the chemist) i swear by it.

Also, panadol or nurofen, cold face washers, cold teething rings and teething rusks.N just lots of mummy cuddles, remember its not their fault their mouth is ouchies.

Hi! I would just like to know if it is normal for a baby to have a fever while teething. I know it is normal for her to cry and scream, but is it normal for her to have a fever? It's not that high, but I'm afraid. I am taking care of her for a couple of weeks while her parents are on a trip...help.

Yes....lots of bubs will get a high temp when teething, esp at night.

With DS we used panadol & nurofen. Also we were able to get an awesome gel from the WCH in Adelaide, they will only sell you one jar at a time & it works wonders. We did try the tablets but they sent DS wild. Usually during the day he was ok, just clingy & lots of no2 nappies. We were always sure of at least 2 - 3 wake ups at night. The panadol helped to get through a few hours before another wake up screaming.
