Teething help!!!

[Nannon145]

My 1 year old is teething again. This lot of teething has been going on for 2 weeks now. 1 lower tooth has cut through about 4 weeks ago. Had about 2 weeks of no pain and now the 2 upper and 1 lower is coming through. The poor girl is suffering.

I avoid giving her painkillers in the day and just use gels, powders or anbesol liquid but this just doesn’t work at night. For the first week I was giving her ibuprofen before bed as this would let her sleep. If I don’t give it her, she’s up every hour screaming and really unsettled. I just don’t know whether I should be giving her ibuprofen before bed until these teeth cut through or not? I have messaged my health visitor but not getting a reply because of bank holiday so just need some advice.

Or any other methods that have worked?
what did you do with your babies?

TIA

We used cheeky wipes for nappy changes and I noticed whenever DS was teething he’d help himself to one from the box to chew on. I’m sure I’ve heard that frozen flannels are good, and I suppose it’s a variation of that. So maybe give your daughter a cold wet flannel during the day? Good luck!

Try the Mumby teething toy, it helped us a lot.

Oh bless her! My little one is also teething, has been for a few weeks and it's driving him around the bend. He won't use any of the teething toys we've bought him and the gels and powders don't seem to give him any relief.
We spoke to the pharmacist in Tesco who advised us that Baby Calpol and Baby Neurofen can be given together. I was so reluctant to give all that medicine but sometimes he's been suffering so badly I have given both and used a tiny bit on anbesol on the area for immediate relief until the medication kicked in. I only do this though infrequently when he really can't cope with the discomfort and is very distressed.
