Teething

How is everyone else coping with their little ones teething? My little one is cutting his first tooth and I honestly feel like I’m back in the newborn trenches with 2 hourly wake ups and screaming/crying in the day…Poor little man is usually such a happy baby

We are in the same boat! It’s so horrible seeing them in pain 😢 and we still haven’t any teeth through!
At this point we are just surviving and giving teething granules and Nurofen when needed! Poor little babies!

Haven't reached the teething stage yet. My son didnt react in anyway when he was teething. They just appeared so hoping the same with my girl

Usually a dose of Ashton & Parsons powder does the trick, but does not seem to do much today. We had to give Calpol last night just to get her to sleep last night. Today, we tried a lidocaine teething gel, but not much help either 😢

Just keep on top of meds! Nurofen, teething powder and get some anbesol from the pharmacy (teething gel) you can alternate the three. Keep offering milk for comfort! I’m here with you tho mama it’s awful xxx

Same boat here, little girl is getting 2 at the same time, been teething gel throughout the day and then last night was nurofen and calpol tonight to help her, but Xmas day evening she was up every 2 hours and she before then was sleeping till 7 no movement, and she for the first time in a long time took another bottle before going off after her one at 7 x

So am I! Everything he has in his hand goes straight in the mouth 😂. Oh it really is! I’m watching the monitor like a horror movie 👀😂 x

Yep! Teething powder, lots of chomping on toys and Nurofen when we need it. Comes and goes though, she can be fine for hours and then it’ll come on suddenly.

Keep on top of teething gel/powder and painkillers, teethers in the freezer, we also gave her cucumber sticks to chew on. Our LO was waking every 30-60mins for a few days. Her first tooth cut through Christmas eve, and 2nd last night. The "good" news is it generally only lasts about a week and gets better once they've cut through (in both the day and night).

My wee boy settles when I use wise woman teething elixir- he can go from being hysterical to calm in seconds with it x
