Babies and Teething

AfternoonTea

pile cream ! ;D

Do you know what age the anbesol can be used from ?

My babies only 11 weeks but already seems to be getting a fair bit of discomfort and most things seem to be 'from 3mths'

I hope you're not still having problems, but if you are, this is my miracle cure - ASHTON & PARSONS INFANTS' POWDERS. They cost a couple of pounds from the chemist (haven't found them in supermarkets yet)
Now here's the catch...Half of people I know that have tried this have said it's amazing. Just pour the powder into little ones mouth, or use a spoon, the results are instant! No more tears!!
Sadly, the other half have said it was useless!
For me, it had no effect on my first child, but on my second it was a true miracle.
It's certainly worth a go anyway. Good luck!

I used Ashdon and Parsons powders for all three of mine and they were excellent and also settle the tummy that usually comes with teething !!!

My 6 month old dd is going through her first teething phase at the moment. I bought her some rusks and biscuits to chew on which she loves. Apart from being really expensive, the majority of them end up on the floor and they contain sugar. Can someone please suggest a rusk/biscuit recipe that I can make for her or what biscuity type food I can give her to chew on instead?. Oh and just to be complicated she hates the toys that you can give babies to chew on.

By the way I find this website and the people on it a complete inspiration. I am so sorry to hear that some of you are going through tough times at the moment and wish you all the best at getting back on track ASAP.

Bless you megasaver.

Have you tried Bickypegs? You can get them in Tesco, no idea how much but they last for ages. Or a teething ring that you can sterilise and re use. I have no idea what I used for mine, they are 7 and 4 and it seems like so long ago!

Just noticed the above one has salt so disregard it completely, I've found this one instead.

Mix:
1 cup flour
1 cup baby cereal
1 cup juice

Roll out and cut into shapes. Bake for 20-30
min @ 350 deg. F.. They freeze well.

My Mum used to give us a cooked bone to bit on ... it was preferable to the wooden ornaments by father brought back from Africa after the Mau Mau uprisings.

Bread Rusks: Cut fresh bread into finger sized pieces and bake in a low oven until hard. (About 1hr)

Massaging the gums with your finger occasionally too - brings relief.

Use sticks of cucumber. Cucumber is cooling and anti-inflammatory, so gives them something to chew on AND reduces discomfort.
