which powders do you use? i've always found the Ashton & Parson's to be the best. Also, Calgel works wonders. how old is your lo?? tbh, i don't think there's anything for it but ti ride it out and persevere with it. teething's just one of those things i guess. my ds has just cut his top 2 teeth, feels like he's been teething forever!!

dentinox teething gel, I show her the tube then put it on finger, do bottom gum then another dab & do top gum.... she got to know the routine in no time...

dentinox teething gel can be reapplied after 20mins (I think...check the pack) so you can keep using it if feed is long.

If really bad I use calpol but try & get her on that nearer bed time if bad teething/rosie cheeks.

ta everyone have used nelsons teetha herbal powders and bongela but might get different brand? but i think they allhave the same active ingredient?? the teetha powder is a bit fiddly and v expensive. shes 16weeks now so looks like being a long haul!!!!!!!!!!!
