What is the best thing for teething?

What can I use for teething? My little boy is 16 weeks and he is teething so so badly, he’s just cried for just over 2 hours non stop.. I tried everything, ashtons & parsons teething powder, cold dummy, teething toys from the fridge, my finger, a bath, rocking/cuddling, you name it! Nothing helped him what so ever… so I would really love to know what anyone has found to help absolutely amazing that helped your little ones please? I felt like crying my eyes out after the first hour of it, I felt so helpless and there was just constant tears falling down his face😭 I’ve finally just managed to get some bottle down him, and for him to sleep in his bed.. praying I’m not in for a rough night because that was HARD 😩 please send all your advice and recommendations!! Also, I really don’t know how to use the teething powder, I ended up putting some on his dummy and rubbing his gums then pouring a little into his mouth too but it really didn’t take the edge off at all

Bongela worked for my son, along with putting water in the teet of his bottle or dummy and freezing it, you can also do it with milk

Anbesol liquid applied to the gums. Nurofen if it’s really causing distress

Another vote for anbesol liquid! Also baby Ibuprofen works better for us than Calpol as it’s also an anti inflammatory

@Jasmine-Lei thank you! I might try this with some milk for him, do you know if you have to use the milk in the freezer in the same day or is it just when you get it out the freezer? X

@Rhonda I have calprofen, is this the same as nurofen? I’m also going to get some Anbesol for when he’s 5 months thank you x

@Neha thank you I’m going to get some in for when he’s 5 months! And I have calprofen which I think is ibuprofen so I could use that? Thank you x

Yes we use Calprofen for our LO too, we tend to use it only when teething is really bad

Sorry didn’t realise anbesol was from 5 months. Yeah nurofen is just ibuprofen. We also used the ashton and parsons teething gel as it comes with a wee textured applicator that you can use to massage their gums. Hope you find some relief, it’s such a shame when they’re in pain 😔
