anybbody no good cure baby teethinc (please help doing my head in)?

Answer 1

Aston and parsons teething powders - available at most independant chemists - you might have to ask behind the counter.

Answer 2

Wow! You've had a lot of advice come your way! Teething is so much fun isn't it? Especially at bedtime when the baby is refusing to stop nursing and the 2 year old is trying to climb all over me at the same time.
I have a rub that my friend told me about called 'GOOT'. Have you heard of it? Go to the website; not sure right now of the URL...it's an educational website and they give instructions how to make it. Type in 'Goot garlic' in browser, and it should come up. It contains fresh blended garlic with warmed olive and coconut oil. It turns into a paste. The website recommends it to be rubbed on the feet for colds, which I do. (check the site for accuracy). Garlic is a very powerful anti-inflammatory, so I think a very small amount of this paste on the gums might help. I don't like to use pharmaceuticals, so I try home remedies when possible. I decided to try a little on my 6mth old's first tooth that's breaking. He obviously did not like the garlic taste at first, but he's out like a light now. He has been waking up every hour in the night lately (he nurses ~ so that's the first thing he wants) so I REEEEALLLY hope this will dull the pain tonight.
Hope this helps a little! It would probably be good to consult a naturopath about the uses of garlic on a baby. I couldn't find much information while browsing the web.

Answer 3

Go to your local chemist and ask for some Ambesol - do not confuse this with anusol as one is for teething pain and one is for piles. Ambesol comes in a small glass bottle and you rub the affected and surrounding areas with it using a clean finger tip. This is a contains a local anesthetic and you will see the effects almost immediately. You will notice the finger tip you apply it with will go slightly numb after use. I keep this stuff in my medicine cabinet at home even now when my kids are 13 and 10 years. It is great for mouth ulcers too.

Ashton and Parsons powders are good too but I found these little sachets a bit tricky to apply.

keep a gel filled teething ring in the fridge so baby can gnaw away on this to help the cutting in of a new tooth.

Best of Luck

Answer 4

Teething pain can be eased by administering cold to the baby's gums. The problem with the store bought teething toys, in my experience, is that babies find them hard to use. They are easy to grip, but hard for an infant to manipulate to his mouth effectively. Within short-order, the baby will toss the toy aside in frustration. As a parent, I found a perfect solution. Take a clean, soft washcloth, soak it in apple juice, and wring it out. Next tie the cloth in a knot, and place it in the freezer until it is 'frozen'. It will not freeze hard like water does, but will be much softer. When frozen give to you infant, placing it first in his mouth, then his hands. You will see almost immediate results. Babies love apple juice, most doctors approve it for even very young infants, and the combination of the cold and the slight roughness of the wash cloth will begin to ease your baby's pain. If your baby has been introduced to solid foods there are other teethers you can try. My babies liked to gnaw on cold carrots and celery sticks. You would want to clean and chill either and leave it a size which would be easily gripped by and infant and too large to swallow. Under very close supervision, you might even consider giving your baby a chicken leg bone (after removing all gristle and meat) or a frozen banana. Babies will love anything that they can bite down on especially if it has the added benefit of a pleasing flavor.

Answer 5

AAAHH! loads of advice about paracetamol but no comments on how dodgy it can be! CALGEL CONTAINS PARACETAMOL AND SO DOES CALPOL AND SO READ THE LABEL..YOU CAN'T USE THEM BOTH TOGETHER!!!!.EASILY FORGOTTEN IF YOU'RE TIRED OR STRESSED.!!!!

Chamomilla 30c homeopathic drops helped all 3 of mine have a damn good fart and get shot of the teething colic at the same time...teething babies drool loads, swallow air and get wind pains, which can be part of the problem.

My 3 kids, all teethed like total nightmares, I used to go to the single guy next door and say "Here. Take this child a minute. I need to go to the loo". He'd be so dumbstruck he'd take my babe while I had 2 minutes peace before entering the fray again. It's exhausting honey but god, it's so worth it when you see their beautiful toothy grin emerge.

Try a baby toothbrush for them to chew on too. Helps get them used to dental hygiene as well as giving them an appropriate texture to gnaw. poor you. I'm thinking of you. Lots!

Answer 6

Try to get hold of some teething granules made by ASHTONS AND PARSONS.They are called infant powders and they are herbal and they also help with tummy upsets that most babies get when the teeth are on their way. They come in a little white box just a tad larger than a max box....know what ya going through as my child is doing the same thing at the mo!...no fun is it.

Answer 7

As someone indicated, massaging baby's gums (you can sometimes feel little nubs protruding) orajel for babies, a cold cloth is a good idea too, cold food (applesauce, yogurt & pureed peaches). They have baby teething rings, you can put in the freezer & the baby can suck on it. You need to be sure the teething ring is made without dioxins (dioxins in plastic toys-babies suck on these toxic chemicals, which are used to harden or soften plastics, can leach out each time a baby sucks on a favorite doll or gnaws on a cool teething ring, scientists say). You can also give Baby Tylenol.
*Always check with your doctor first.
*Absolutely no alcohol.

Answer 8

A cold wet towel to chew on. If the baby is old enough, Infants Tylenol is a BIG help (been there!) Don't listen to any advice about putting whiskey or alcohol on the baby's gum as that can be very bad for the baby!

Answer 9

If you mean baby TEETHING then here are some helpful tips.
(1) Soak a wash cloth in cold water, ring it out and give it to the
kid to suck on. The coldness will numb his gums.
(2) There are over the counter teething gels that are made for
a child that's teething.
(3) Thoroughly wash your hands and with your pinky finger
massage his gums.

Answer 10

Go to chemist ask for A gel called Bonjela it is good for baby teethinc

Answer 11

Do not rub whisky on babys gum...extremly silly and stupid thing to do. Try teething gels and teething rings cooled in your fridge. Also maybe try calpol and lots of cuddles
