Hey, has anyone managed to find anywhere which has even a single box of Ashton and Parsons teething powders?!!
My local Boots pharamcist said the 'supply problems' weren't expected to be sorted until September at the earliest, by which point I might have gone a bit crackers. I swear by them, my DS takes them so easily and the calming, desentising effect on him is amazing. He's not a baby who cries, so it's really tough to see him so uncomfortable. I tried Nelson's as an alternative but they're a job and a half to get into him and have no effect at all.
If they're really not going to be around, has anyone found a good alternative?

I think you can use chamomile powders but you'd need to check.

I'm on holiday at the moment but I may have a box in my medicine cabinet - if I do I can post them to you. Not sure I have them though. I'll put this thread on my watch list to remind me next week.

Thanks eastendwendy, how amazingly generous of you!!! I've heard of baby chamomile, just hadn't tried it and was disappointed to have found something which worked so well and so quickly, only to then find no one has it! Very odd, as it's very popular apparently.
Have a lovely holiday, hope the sun is shining for you! :-)

Iwillorderthefood - again you help me, thank you so, so much!!!! Just had a quick look and found a pharmacy with some limited stock. Why didn't I think of checking?!!!! Fingers crossed there's some coming in the post!!!
