Teething
Ah, teething. The major source of woes for all parents, no matter what the dentists say.
Teething hurts.
Here's some tips to help;
- Tylenol/Paracetamol/Acamoli - help bring down fevers but not inflammation. I personally find Nurofen/Advil/Ibuprofen works better, but is only suitable for older babies.
- Anbesol - liquid benzocaine is the only teething pain relief I've found helps. Teething gel tends to slide off the gums.
- A teething toy put in the fridge can be a great soother.
- Some people put whisky on the gums - but I'm not advocating that!
