Hello,
My 4 month old is teething. One tooth has come through already and I can see another 2 about to burst through. They're giving him so much trouble, he screams and chews his hands. I've given him teething gel but found that as much stays on my finger as goes on his gums. I've tried the powder but I find it really difficult to get it on his tongue and most of it dissolves on my finger or around his mouth.
My last resort has been to give him baby nurofen but even that doesn't work. I tried using a spoon but he doesn't understand and just tries chewing the spoon and lets the medicine dribble out. I've tried a syringe (sp?) but he either gags on it cos it's too far back or just spits out any medicine. Either way, the majority of the medicine ends up dribbling down his chin!! I even tried dipping a dummy in some medinice and seeing if he'd lick it off but he just chomps on it!
I really don't know what else to try. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Please help, he really needs something as he's getting really upset by it.
