3 month old... teething help...?

Our DD (PFB!) is 3 months and I suspect she's teething - dribbling lots, red cheeks, a little warm, chewing fists and two little white bits on her bottom gum!

We're giving her Infant Calpol and using liquid Anbesol (like Bongela) on her gum but she won't take a teething ring and she's too little to give her a carrot stick or a rusk.

Anyone else experienced early teething and have any advice/hints/tips? I don't mind giving her Calpol as it seems to be working but I'd rather try some other things to limit the dose.

I will chat to my HV tomorrow when she's weighed, but it's just so horrible to hear her scream. Luckily she's still BFing fine (I think it soothes the pain) and sleeping okay at night.

DD was an early teether and it made her cry day and night. Nelsons Teetha granules were a life saver and all natural. Really helped to calm and soothe her. Hope they help you

Thanks, Googling them now. Currently singing twinkle. twinkle little star - which also appears to be working
