dd liked cucumber, also carrot sticks, bread sticks and baby rice cakes. My mother swore by toasted stale bread. Actually what dd really really liked was a dog chew . . . but the dog wanted it back so we had to get her her own0

Make thick-sliced wholemeal toast in the toaster, cut into fingers and leave to go cold and hard
Mine's really struggling with her back teth at the moment and always has her hands in her mouth. I find that if her gums are sore she doesn't want to eat very much so I tend to give her lots of little snacks/meals and plenty to drink as she's always salivating.
Don't forget Calpol at bedtime tooJust run, run and keep on running!0 -
Try Bickipegs - you cat get them in Boots etc (about £1.40-ish I think). There's no sugar or salt in them and they're very hard - impossible to bite bits off, so great for a 6-month-old who might not cope with small bits of toast/cucumber/etc in her mouth.0

We used a MAM teether (after much trial and error!) which is shaped like a flat ring with 3 gel-filled prongs. It's easy for a 6month old to hold and fit in their mouth & when you put it in the fridge the ring doesn't get too cold, which was a problem with some others we tried. Also the nice lady in Boots took pity after a week of screaming (baby) & crying (me-lol) and recommended Ashton & Parsons teething powders which have worked like a charm every time another bout rears it's ugly head.£2 savers club - £62

I think I was quite lucky with my daughter as her teggys came through quite easily. She did quite like breadsticks though and shortbread. I'm not too keen on things they can't bite bits off as I worry about them sticking in the throat. Don't bickypegs have a bit of string on them? Just makes me panic the whole time. Give em something that slowly dissolves - much better!It's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know0

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

have no advice am afraid but just wanted to send hugs & sympathy!! hope it ends soon.Cleaning the house while children are growing is like shovelling snow when it's still snowing!0
