Teething at 12 weeks!

My pfb is showing signs of teething at just over 11 and a half weeks
We were at GPS office for another issue and they've agreed
Any tips to ease any discomfort?

We mainly bought a range of different teething toys. Gel ones didn't last very long - DS has 7 teeth at 7mo so they never stood a chance! But other types especially ones with varying textures and softer/harder sections have been very helpful! Keep one or two in the fridge for a nice cooling relief.

Other than that, we use Dentinox and from time to time, a dose of Calpol if he's really in pain and everything else has been tried with little relief. Smile

If it's the first tooth, you can always let baby chew on your fingers too and massage the gums... Which is what we did originally but starts to hurt when the teeth start popping out and he turned into a human-piranha hybrid.

Yep finger in mouth is a good bet until they can keep something in their mouth themselves. Hopefully it pops through soon for you! Can be a loooooong process but my 2 have been fine with it so it is possible! 🤞🏻

Teething gel, it's safe from 2 months.
