Nothing has ever worked to ease teething pains for my now toddler. Calpol does nothing, Neurofen takes the edge off just enough to allow her to doze off for a nap or bedtime (but she's up soon after), I've tried ALL the teething powders including homeopathic stuff. Nothing nothing nothing works and I'm honestly losing a part of my soul because of it...so cannot really imagine what she's going through. She's pretty much crying/tantruming/melting down on and off all day for weeks on end until the teeth finally pop through and we have our cheerful girl back for a bit before the next set of teeth start! We're waiting for 4 final molars which are taking ages.
Not sure if this is relevant but when she was a newborn we took her to a cranial osteopath for reflux issues, and she mentioned that DD will struggle with teething because of the shape of her head (or something like that). Well that was a bloody understatement.
If there's anything I should try, PLEASE suggest it. I'm desperate!
