Spendless

ooohhhh. never thought of that. Will go get some later.

Hope the granules work for you.

Going back to poochy's comment about freezable teething rings being withdrawn from Boots, I'd read that using these isn't recommended as not only can they split but they are so hard that they can damage the gums and emerging teeth - and also cause frostbite

Someone suggested that I try freezing a clean moistened facecloth which they can chew on - haven't tried that one yet.

That would explain why they have been so hard to find.

Yep your probably right Spendless , that's why they can't be found easily.............they worked with no problems for thousands of kids but someone suddenly decided they might not be such a good idea :-/

You wouldn't put it in the freezer for a week or even make it rock solid so it wouldn't give frostbite ::)

They never damage the gums because even young babies aren't daft enough to bite harder if it is uncomfortable :-/

And the ones that were freezable don't split................its people putting all sorts in without checking ,like the gel ones with rubber that went brittle:-/

Just one of those times where they take something that works off the market cause someone says it might do this or that :o

Ah well ......................I'm sure some of the other ideas will work and that's all that matters.....................daughter gets teeth cut and you get sleep ;D

I used to have a couple of water filled rings by Tommee Tippee, but from memory the instructions didn't mention that you could put them in the freezer. Daughter didn't like them so ended up chucking them. She preferred her fingers anyway ::)

Have you actually tried the gel filled fridge ones? Only reason I ask is that I saw a Tommee Tippee one called Icebite soother in the supermarket earlier - was £3.50 - looked quite good. Doesn't gel retain the cold for longer than water ???

Spendless

No I haven't tried the gel ones, as I was looking for the 'freezer' ones.
Granules seemed to work tho, couldn't find ones recommended but Boots do their own.

System

That's good news ;D

Fingers crossed for a good night's sleep for you.
