i can totally relate to what you are going through Nat.

My DD has been teething for the last month and a half and she too gets very clingy when in real pain with it. Thats when I know that its her teething and I give her a little panadol. Most other times I just give her bonjela and a cold teething ring. A tepid bath works aswell.

Best advice I was given- I'm a first time mother too- is to use your gut instinct.
