  • Teething rings – can pop them in the fridge or freezer first too, that helped my little one


  • After a recent article here on MoMs, I suggest you avoid those amber necklaces. I’ve never been convince of how effective they are, but now they’re a choking hazard, definitely avoid


  • Children’s panadol to alleviate some pain and teething rings.


  • Thanks for posting this question! I myself am finding this whole teething business a bit of a challenge due to lack of sleep from being up with a cranky and uncomfortable bub. Most of these tips I have used but at least teething won’t last forever.


  • Lots of things to chew on. Teething rusks are great. Fruit and veg sticks. Teething rings you can refrigerate. With a little help from Panadol when the pain is really bad


  • At our women’s & children’s hospital in S.A they have their own gel & it works a teat. Can try a cold wet facewasher to chew on. Even put it in the freezer first


  • Panadol to relieve pain and fever. You just have to let it pass.


  • buy some teething gel and give them something to bite down on


  • Try a amber necklace


  • An amber necklace worked a treat for my daughter.


  • bonjella – really helped with my two.


  • Have multiple teething rings which you can alternate from the freezer.


  • Put some teething toys in the fridge so there nice and cold for baby and toddlers gums when they bite and suck on it.


  • You can buy teething gel with anaesthetic it works well and also panadol then nurofen two hours after that so one every two hours


  • frozen fruit would help as well as a big chop bone to naw on as well as rusks and you can buy a cream to help numb the gums
