first time mum with teething ds!! assistance please!!

[crackpotdog]

17 wk old with begginings of teething. just wandered how long each episode lasts? and is it ok to give paracet as required during this period aas long as max dosem not exceeded? or is ibuprofen better?
thanks

give baby neurofen so much better than calpol when it comes to teething

dentinox teething gel can be applied every 20 mins and bonjela is fab but thats every few hours so used both

also freeze the corner of a flannel and rub on gums through out the day it toughens the gums and makes it less painful for teeth coming through

its hard to say how long it lasts as my ds started teething and they came through one after the after and can take days or weeks before tooth breaks through

if you rub the frozen cloth it does seem to help teeth break through quicker

Teething can seem to go on forever. Some people know about teething powders, although I never tried them. My ds liked to bite on a Bickypeg (really hard teething biscuit - they don't actually eat any of it, but it's nice to know that all it's made of is natural ingredients.)

If he gets a cold or runny nose with it, then break out the Medised and you'll get some extra sleep too!

oh yes i forgot ashton and parsons teethin g powder my ds loved these they are herbal remedy you can get from boots or pharmacy

you just rub half sachet on gums and tongue and it stops tummy upsets caused by teething and obviously teething pain still needed bonjela in between

i used the teething powders too and they definitely helped my ds. My health visitor suggested the Medised for if he was very snuffly and dribbly at nights to help him sleep better.
People bought my ds teethers but a cold flannel and the sky remote control were his favourties to chew on!
