Teething

[copperred]

Not sure if I'm putting this in the right place.
My little chap is starting to struggle at nights with feeding which I think is his teething. I went out today and brought some stuff for him. One is nelsons teetha gel and nelsons teething granules. Not sure which one to use? The granules have got lactose in which not sure if that's gd and the gel say's baby can't swallow it. How do you apply teething gel and little one not swallow any of it?
A bit confused and need help please.

Just rub the gel into the gums. I think it's only a problem for smaller babies as it can be a choking hazard but as long as you rub the gel into the gums properly there shouldn't be a problem with swallowing. 8 month old ds has 8 teeth now and I've found teething gels not that useful really.

My poor little chap has had a bad day. I couldn't put him down with out him crying. Only stop if I hold him. He's had no sleep today. Very tired little chap and very tired mummy
