Teether for 2.5 month old

My baby is young but is showing lots of signs of teething (drooling, gnawing on fists, wanting to feed loads).

Last night he was crying inconsolably and really fussing, wanting to breastfeed but chomping on my nipple and shaking his head around. I tried letting him chew on my knuckle and he started chomping quite frantically, no sucking at all. I then put my little finger in his mouth and rubbed his gums. He immediately quietened and looked blissed out, chewing on my finger all along his gums, especially on his molars.

Can anyone recommend a teether suitable for his age that can reach the side and back gums?

I’m thinking of getting the Sophie ring one (link below) but am very interested in any other ideas.

Also are teething gels/powders any good?

Anbesol liquid rather than the gel!

Miracle worker!

Mam do a little snail teething ring that my DS loved! Think it's called Lucy the snail.

Look up Gummee Teether gloves- good cos they are gloves so don't depend on the baby being able to hold them 👍🏻

Pacifier in fridge works a great if your ds has one. Also baby bonjella rubbed on gums

Lots of good suggestions. Many thanks!
Have bought Anbesol and am looking into the teether. Cheers!
