She just cut her first tooth :o) What can I do for her?

[MummaSue]

Wee sausage is in a bit of pain. Keeps screaming out and her wee tongue is furiously rubbing on her newly cut bottom tooth.

It also seems to be causing her a bit of discomfort when she feeds - which is her usual comfort - I can make anything ok by feeding. Not today though

What can I do for her? She's had a bit of nurofen and is asleep just now.

So very excited that my baby has a wee tooth there but sad that she is sad.

a cold wash cloth, wet a little section and place it in the freeze it for a few mins, the cold helps relive the pain and swelling. also curash have a oral pain relier, like bonjella but it dosent smell or taste as bad!
good luck, hope it stops hurting and she gets use to it soon as theres more were it came from!!

get her a baltic amber teething necklace!!

[ss_storm]

I second the amber necklace!! I got one for DD when she was about 10 months, but I wish I'd gotten it earlier!
Does she have any teething rings? One of them straight from the fridge is nice to chew on, or a cold washer does just as well.

[MummaSue]

Thanks girls, I am going to look into those amber necklaces!!

She's been ok today actually, woke up sad this morning but had a monster sleep and isn't all that bothered now LOL. Typical!!

The amber teething necklaces work a treat, also I really like the Brauers homeopathic teething drops. I've always found that between the two of them we can usually avoid panadol and nurofen (and my DS was a terrible teether who would be up crying for hours at night before I discovered these gems) GL hun

Teething is not fun

We usually just use nurofen because I have never got my butt in gear enough to get a teething neclace but I know parents who swear by them.

[Enchanted]

I would use Nurofen for the moment and maybe even teething rings.

Definitely look into the necklaces though. I just ordered one for DD today (jumping on the bandwagon 16 months too late ). So many people swear by them! I hope you have an easy night and your poor little possum is feeling a little better in the morning

PS. Woo hoo for the first tooth though

Amber necklace all the way!! Oskar was a great teether, so I never had any need for anything more than a bit of gel or panadol on the odd occasion, and I'm talking RARELY. Elijah, was a whole different story! Nightmare first 2 teeth. Got that necklace so fast after that and oh yeah, different little kiddy! I've had to use panadol about 2 or 3 times since and he's got 12 teeth now.

Neither of mine used teething rings but we discovered the rubber end of the kids toothbrushes worked a treat.

Awww poor lil bubba...teething's no fun at all .

SM33 is brilliant, i used that with teething rings straight out of the freezer.

Another amber necklace fan here!! They are awesome. My DD also loves rubber fish bath toys (little fish toys that fill up with water and you sqeeze them to squirt it out). No idea why but that is her teething aid of choice - I have to take a rubber fish everywhere with me so she can furiously chew away on it!

[MummaSue]

Thanks lovelies xxxxx

[westy]

Sorry for my ignorance ladies but what is or does an amber necklace do to help with teething?

And where would i purchase one of them from?

Thanks

[MummaSue]

I think that you get them online hun, and I'm not sure how they work xxx
