Teething
Hi mammas,
I need some advice on my lo, she's 8 and half months old and her teething has escalated to a point where is not drinking enough milk and eating any solids.
She used to be such a great eater (have around 20/25oz of milk, plus have breakfast, lunch and dinner). These past few days have been tough as she's not taking anything plus not drinking any milk. She only 15oz yesterday!
I've tried calpol, bonjela and have frozen some fruits for her to gnaw at, but she just gets frustrated after a few nibbles. On top of that, her sleeping pattern had completely changed due to her teething and only wants to sleep on me 😢
Is there anything else I can try that will help?
From one tired mamma 😪 🥱 😴

i absolutely swear by anbesol teething gel or liquid!! My 8 month old has 4 teeth and currently another 2 coming and he very rarely suffers with teething since using anbesol it has been an absolute life saver.
I second the anbesol!!
Thanks ladies, how often do you use this and when?
I only used it when the teeth were cutting through as it’s got quite a high alcohol percentage and also contains lidocaine so didn’t want to keep using it. And I used it at bedtime and during the night if she couldn’t sleep through the pain. It says on the pack not to use more than every 3 hours
We used it at bedtime most the time as thats when he teeths the most and would get him through the night with no wakings whereas before he would wake up 3/4 times a night screaming!
