Poor ds is teething early. His first tooth came through last week (12wks) without too much angst but the second is following close behind and he's absolutely miserable.
I suppose because he's so little (and we've been lucky) I've never seen him in pain before and the crying is breaking my heart - possibly just as heartbreaking is the 2 hourly wakening after a month of fairly unbroken night's sleep .
I just want to ask, is teething trouble intermittent? Will he be better for a while once this second tooth arrives, hopefully soon? There is no sign of any others.
Secondly, anyone have good tips for relieving him - he does try to chew his fists but can't reliably keep them in his mouth yet and also can't hold any sort of teething toy. We tried teething gel and Calpol last night and they seemed to help a bit.
