Bonjella Possible over use?

[KimmyF]

DS has been teething off and on for about 3 months but this time round its been about 3 weeks we have red cheeks, chews everything he can get his hands on and constantly runs his litle thumb all over his poor sore gums, i am finding that at every sleep he is needing bonjella before he will settle. He is not getting it anymore than three hourly but am using it at every sleep. Is this bad for him? Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Try some SM33 instead. Its stronger and works better than bonjella - so you may not need to use it as often.

HTH!

Hi KimmyF
Not only should you consider how often you are using it but you need to consider how much you are using each time.
The recommended dose is:-
0.5cm every 3 hours if needed to a max of 6 times a day

There is an awesome awesome awesome teething gel that is at the Adelaide mothers and children hospital.. dont know what the actual hospital is called.. my neighbour went down there to visit family and brought me some back it is bloody awesome stuff!

I use sm 33 on ds as bonjella is useless with him and you dont need to use much. Worth a try. Poor bubbas, teething is a pain in the butt..
