How do you survive a teething baby?

Yes it is strange, maybe it changed recently, dunno. The generic version they told me wife about, is something like Norfex, something like that. We definitely need something today, my girl didn't sleep last night, and so did we.

Be prepared for another 6-8months of wining


Good Luck

According to the missus she gave the little ones Calpol on the rare occasions that it got particularly bad.

Paint the room blue? babies hate yellow... Some study's suggests.

Ashton and Parson's is also supposed to be quite good for teething. Ponstan is more of a generic painkiller - we use it for any illness he has.

The threat of boiling brandy in his ear did the trick. Little dude slept through last night. Yay!

hahaha lolz. Glad you got a good night of sleep finally!

Haven't read all the replies, but try Biltong. And an excellent non harmful solution is to get those moulds you can pour any liquid into and then freeze them to make ice lollys - they work a charm and you can go with water or fruit juice.

One of the local biltong shops sells baby biltong for that very purpose. It's less seasoned than the regular stuff I think.

yeah those things are good for just general irritation. Their gums get very itchy so they need something to soothe them. Biltong gets disgusting and slimy after a while so you need to keep an eye on it.


And btw all this time we thought our boy was teething - last night we saw an upper toothie popping through the gum!!! This is his third tooth now, woot!!!!
