can anyone offer any advice? i am sure my son has started teething. (he is four months old)
since yesterday i have been having real problems getting him to take his milk. he starts off ok, but after a couple of oz's he starts to get restless and acts like he can't bear to suck any more.

Tried the bonjela today, and it worked a treat. Ds still messed about a bit with his bottles. But i managed to get him to take most of his milk today.Also been using the calpol. What a godsend!! Ditto mummytojames,you have my utmost sympathy too!!
hope ds's tooth comes through soon!!!

yes brilliant stuff, can't imagine why i did not think of it until spod suggested. esp the bit about using it 5 mins before his bottle.ingenius idea.
