Brauers teething relief

[hj1981]

I am just wondering.....
Has anyone used this?
Do you recommend it?
Is it better than teething gels?
Is it better than Hylands teething tablets?
Any side effects?
Anything i should know about it?
What have you found works best for teething?

i found a combo of the brauers and the necklace worked best

[STARRYSKY]

yes ~ I have used it (for jboy)
yes ~I would recommend it
yes and no ~ teething gel was INSTANT relief, the brauers takes a bit longer to kick in.
I dont know about Hylands, I never used them.
No side affects I was aware of
Its a homeopathic remedy, I *think* it needs to be dosed a few x a day, starts working withing 6-12 hrs, but it really seemed to work for us.

I used a mix of bonjela/wcH teething gel, and the Brauers, a few times after having the brauers Jboy had teeth come through and we didnt even realise.

OK i am so buying Brauers today! last night was HELL!

Miss B didn't suffer too bad when teething, gel and the tablets did the trick, but with Miss Emily NOTHING is working! not even panadol!

[Heaven]

Yeah, we used it with DD1 and I found it helped!

[Miss E]

We found it great too! That and an amber teething necklace meant we almost never needed panadol or gels. I personally, can't recommend it highly enough (and the necklace).

excellent! i brought it this morning - it says 1ml every half hour for 4 doses - than 4hrly if req, so we are up to dose 2!

Im looking into investing in a necklace! but i just know i am going to have to buy 2 (one for DD1 aswell) so i just need to work on DH!

LOVE brauers teething relief. Bought some a few moths back and it has been so helpful.

[hj1981]

another question - do u need to do the half hourly thing every day?

[Miss E]

Nah... Once we've built it up in his system we just keep going with the 4 hourly doses, if he misses one or two overnight it doesn't seem to make to bigger difference.

[hj1981]

okay so just do the half hourly on the 1st day than every other day i use it just do it four hourly?

[Miss E]

Yeah that's what I did generally... Mind you there were some days where he was suffering so occassionally in the morning I might give him 2 doses in a half hour period and them go back to the 4 hours.

This stuff works by building up in their systems. So while it says you can give them four half hourly doses, you don't have to. I always found it was far better to use DS's temperament as a guide. But if it had been a long time since his last dose (several days or weeks) I found that he usually needed those four half hourly doses to get relief, but if it was overnight or a day or two, it wasn't necessary.
