    teething baby free to a good home

    blerrrrrrrrr
    1030pm...im usually snuggled up fast asleep in bed right now but nooooooo
    i have a grizzly whining 6 month old who seems like shes about to munch her own fingers off
    so i give her panadol and bonjella...so the pains stopped and now she wants to play and shreik happily at the top of her lungs

    i thought she wouldva passed out ages ago cause she usally has 2 day naps and didnt have one cause we were out xmas shopping all day...

    i wouldnt mind so much if she had slept last night, but she was up every hour wanting her dummy, and also my housemate keep whinging that DD wakes him up (um youre at the other end of the house and not the one who has to get up to tend to her) and has made it pretty clear (without actually saying it) that he wants me to find somewhere else to live

    aw poor lil girl. DS used to be the same when teething can def be hard i hope she goes down soon.

    that really sucks about your housemate aswell. i hope he either gets over it or you find someone to live soon.

    My 11 month old has been threatening to pop four top teeth through for what seems like ages, but in reality it's only been two weeks. It's so hard on the poor little things. I spent all last week ready to give him away to the first person that knocked on my door - and then I tried baby nurofen and he had two 2.5 hour naps on Friday, found his happy pants and I found that I actually liked my baby again... I have found that panadol doesn't seem to do much for teething pain, but nurofen knocks it on it's head.

    You have my sympathies and I hope they pop through soon.

    I second baby nurofen. Panadol does squat.

    Hope things improve for you soon.

    It was Nurofen for us too - and DS liked the taste of it so much more, much easier to get him to take it.

    Can't help with the housemate, sorry, but we also found nurofen worked better (and DS liked it, hated panadol).
    The best thing that worked for teething though was an amber teething necklace... I was very dubious but it works!!

    Sam's funny - he prefers panadol and I have trouble getting him to take nurofen. But we persist. I think it works better on teething pain because it has anti-inflammatory properties.

    Have to second the baltic amber as well, though.

    And try SM33 instead of bonjella. Bonjella is crap.

    Have you tried Nurofen? I find it better for teething than panadol.

    Umm, hope you lil girl gives you a break soon

    As for your flatmate, tell him to grow up.
