My 3 month son has started teething, we have tried gels, powders and even paracetamol but nothing seems to help him. Please can someone suggest what else i can try to give my little boy a break!
also being a FTM im unsure with how long it takes for a tooth to poke through?
any advice would be great! X

Are you sure it’s teething? I only ask because 3 months would be very young, and I’d not expect a first tooth for another few months yet really. My health visitor told me that lots of babies get a bit grumpy at that age & also discover their hands in mouths so parents think teething but at 3 months it very rarely is. If it was genuinely teething then the combo of powder & paracetamol would provide some respite.

The Anbesol teething gel is amazing but it is only for use over 5 months which is really when teething kicks in properly anyway x
