teething

My LO started teething at around 8 weeks. He's 18 weeks now and his teeth still haven't made an appearance but I can see them under his gums. He hates the taste of the teething gels and now purses his lips when I try to apply it!! Think I'll try some of the powders mentioned.

yeah my youngest teethed really early, some people didn't believe me and said she couldn't be, but when you think some babies are born with teeth it's not an unreasonable suggestion, try teething powders but check they are ok first, gels are fine but they tend to slide around on your finger and don't absorb as well into the gum, ambesol is quite good as it's a liquid but can be licked off quite easily, powders work best at younger ages because when they get older and work out that they don't like what you're doing they'll do whatever it takes to stop you no matter what you're putting on! calpol is safe from 2months and as soon as they can grip and take things to their mouth teething rings etc that you put in the fridge are good! hope this helps!

my daughter teethed at 3months. shes 22month now and shes got a full set :D i think ambesol is really good and some calpol b4 bed and a raw carrot 2 chew on through day lol x

I know exactly what you mean. the number of bibs Jake can get through in a day just with dribble could fill a washing machine! I found ashton and parsons teething powders a huge help, and muchos calpol! he kept lunging at people to try and gnaw on them, their hands, noses, chins, anything was fair game! x

my sons teething at 2month old, has anyone else's babies teethed that early, he's not in loads of discomfort yet just has the odd scream about it, but you can tell he is. the lil dribbler!
