Baby teething advice...PLEASE

Posts: 218 Forumite
Please someone help me, my six month old baby has been teething almost continously for the last 6 weeks and it is driving us all crazy.....
So far he has cut three teeth at the sides and almost has one of his bottom front ones through with another two making their way as well.
We are using paracetamol, bonjela and the boots alternative teething granules to help him, but we are using bonjela and the granules far more than recommended on the side of the packet.
I spoke to the health visitor yesterday but to no great avail. She told me it is just a natural process. But he is not eating/ drinking properly or sleeping properly either. When he is awake he is just miserable all the time. Usually a happy smiley baby.
I am shattered due to him being awake at night frequently, my daughter is turning into a monster behaviour wise as she is getting so little attention due to me trying to comfort him...
Can anyone recommend anything to help him, any other magic gel or even homemade concoction that will ease his pain???

Trying to tidy and clean while the kids are still growing, is like trying to clear snow even though it's still snowing
