Teething advice please

[Proudmummy2014]

Hi there,

My DD is 16 weeks old and I think she is teething because she is drooling loads and chewing her fingers, plus I can actually see white below the gums where two teeth will eventually come out.

This may sound like really silly questions but I really need advice on the following please:

1. when should I be giving her pain relief for teething pain, as I'm not sure if she's crying from teething or for another reason? People say to me give it to her when she is teething, however is she not teething all the time now until she has all her teeth come through, or does teething happen in stages? (Sorry I do sound really stupid here)
   
   
2. what have you found to be the most effective for teething pain?
   
   Thanks!

I know it's so hard right! Especially when they are your first born you don't have a clue. Haha. Just wen you think you've cracked it something else happens. She slept from 7-7 the night before and then last night up 5 times in the night. Argh!

Oh yes to just when you think you've cracked it !

My eldest was terrible teething & I would have to push her around the living room in her pram & rock her in it to settle her some nights when she was really bad then I'd nap on sofa when she dropped off , it was the only way I could get a rest .
My youngest was completely different , he was fine unless they were breaking through and then with a bit of anbesol and neurofen he'd settle until it wore off .
I hope your Little one is feeling better today so you've managed to rest & that you have a better night tonight ! X
