Teething - What Helped Your Bub?
I thought we could start a sticky on what helped your bub through teething. Of course different ages require different things, so if we all put our heads together we can come up with a good list!
Some things that have been helpful lately:
* A toothbrush. He loves chewing on a toothbrush which massages his gums.
* Icy Pole Minis - I am not sure what brand but they are fruit iceblocks in mini size which he can hold in his hand in the shape of a pole. It's better because his hands don't get cold from frozen teething rings which upset him more than they help!!
* Nurofen - When it's really bad, I resort to Nurofen which is usually better than panadol with Elijah but I do alternate the two for added benefit.
baltic amber teething necklace
Hi, I ended up buying my son a amber teething necklace and cant recommend them enough! They are great. He now has 14 teeth and the last 10 came thru with out any problems. It was amazing, He dribbles less, and his teeth came up without the usual fuss. He had broken his necklace and was without it for maybe 2 weeks and the change in him was terrible. He changed back to the whinging, clingy nappy rashed baby. My friend has now bought her son one as she saw the change in him. They have the nickname "happy beads" and they truly live up to that. They are the best natural relief ever. The lady is lovely who sells them and they guarantee them so if they break they will replace them. I reckon these are the best product around! You can check out the website, amberbebe.com.
I also give him ice often to chew on and he loves that.
