Ibruprofen and teething gel. It’s the only combo that helped mine at that age Flowers

You can't give ibuprofen under 6 months.

Calpol is the only real thing that helped (and alternating with ibuprofen after 6 months). Sophie the giraffe was a huge hit too.

Thank you, would you give them calpol every day though? Is that safe? X

I don’t think you can alternate ibuprofen with paracetamol anymore.
You can buy teething toys that you put in the freezer first. They can be good.

Yes you can alternate them.

But I’m not sure of the age at which a baby can have each one, without checking.

Never put teething toys in the freezer! Fridge only.

This is basically powdered sugar so it cheers them up a bit 😁
