Teething Hell! HELP!

My lovely, placid 17wk old has been a mare the last 2 days. He's been teething for a while, but nothing too dramatic (lots of drooling, and a grumpy 10mins each afternoon). Yesterday he screamed at me most of the day, which was horrific, and he woke every hour last night for a feed (I think he liked the comfort of boobie) Liquid paracetamol has limited affect, as does Dentinox gel. Any ideas? He's napping now- dreading another day like yesterday.

Anbesol Liquid - fantastic stuff! It has a local anaesthetic in and immediate relieves the pain - my DD calms down as soon as she see the bottle coming (a little drug addict!).

Also, he is not screaming at you personally, so try not to take it to heart too much.

I'm sure lots of other people will have better tips for you, but I just wanted you to know you are not alone - good luck!
