A teething bub can be very distressing. You aren't alone.

Read the full blog post: Your teething bub and you

My little girl's first 2 teeth came when she was just under 4 months and that was when we finally got her to sleep for more than 3 hours at a time at night(that went down the drain tongue).
At 8 months she got one top teeth then now at almost 9 months the second top and third bottom came out at once sad
I try to help with bonjela, teething rusks and a bit of panadol to help her sleep at night. I cuddle her more than normal too for more comfort smile.

my mum has 7 kids and she used frozen water iceblocks (packs of 50- NOT red or green as some children turn hyper on them colours)) on 5 of us, she sewed face washers so the ice blocks fited nicely so our hands did not freeze (they numb the gums)us older 5 never had any problems with our teeth BUT when my 2 youngest brothers father put bonjella on them their teeth had to be removed, so after talking to mum I feel confidant that the iceblocks worked the best. there are a lot of old remidies that work wonders for different things so also ask around and then pick and choose what you think is best for each of your children, just listen to everyone then pick what you like best!

before my daughter cut her teeth i just rubbed her gums now i have the first steps tooth brush and she absolutly loves it all i do is give it to her and she has the side to side front to back motion.
best part is that it removes any plaque that may be on her teeth smile

My daughter is going through teething at the moment, it started at about 3 and a half months, she had not had any cut yet, but there is plenty of swelling and when I rub her gums with bonjella (now sugar free) I can feel something underneath. She lives stuffing her fingers and hands in her mouth, the teething toys I have bought she does not show any interest in. some of my friends have the baltic amber necklaces for their little ones and.swear by them.

I.do occasionally use panadol our neurofen as a last resort, cause I hate to see her in pain.

One thing I did find the other day was an ice cold teat, she loved it and would not let it leave her mouth.

my son started teething at 12 weeks, he didnt cut any and it has settled over the last 4 days, i jsut purchased a teething necklace, so when he starts getting irritable again i'll use it and keep it posted as to how he goes with it smile

Wow! I just read up on the Baltic Amber Necklaces. I can't believe I hadn't heard of these before now. Baby Bean has commenced the dreaded teething stage, even though she is coping (for now), I am looking forward to trying one of these necklaces! Thanks grin

Hi all! After much research I have finally purchased an a Amber Teething Necklace for my bub and I am absolutely amazed at how they have transformed my little boy. He was sooo grumpy and now all smiles!!! He sleeps much better and I didnt even notice his new tooth pop through last week!

They truly are a miracle product. I just bought an Amber Necklace for Mum for myself and I'm convinced its helped with my back pain! I'm very very impressed and want to recommend them to everyone! I find them really beautiful to! I think I'll be buying matching bracelets for both myself and bub to match our amber necklaces. They make beautiful gifts. I found mine at www.ozsavers.com.au and they are more beautiful in person then on the website, they have absolutely stunning Amber Teething Necklaces in a variety of colours. I was really impressed with these guys!

Where is the best place to buy them? Are there immitations to be concerned about coming across?

Hey guys... my sis expecting twins and I am so much excited about it. But I need your help that how will I take care of them I mean simultaneously both of them.

We have found the amber teething necklace / bracelet work really well. We didn't want to leave it on when bub was sleeping but also didn't want to have bub being woken up in pain so we fasten the neckalce around her ankle, under her sleepsuit, so she can't get at it and there is no risk of choking.
Another thing we have found works wonders is Teethmed Relief spray from Naturopharm. Stops the screaming instantly and is easy to apply (if your bub will open their mouth).

I have an Amber Teething Necklace on it's way as week speak. grin

From what I have read on her it seems to get the thumbs up from everyone who is using them. Looking forward to trying it out.... but not the pain bubs goes through.

Hi my son had a amber necklace for a few months without any complaints or any crying until my mother-in-law gave him a bath and removed the necklace that evening before bed. All through the night he was constantly waking up in a lot of pain, crying. It drove me nuts and I couldnt work out why until I discovered his amber necklace on the kitchen table. I swear by them. I'll do anything to get a good nights sleep.......LOL

think i might have to get one as my son who is 4 mths is statring to teeth and he is normal a happy little bean but the last few weeks he has been a monster and now we know why...never had any probs with the older 2 with teeth they just came in with out us knowing till one day they where there.

My baby is almost 11 weeks old and is already starting to get teeth. At the moment he only has a raised gum but I hope his teeth will pop out soon. Teething rings are too big, he's not old enough to have bonjela and baby panadol does nothing. All I can do his hold him close and hope for the best. He cries alot but honestly I think it could be worse. He's a beautiful baby with his now rosey cheeks lol.

am waiting for the storm...

my teething necklace/bracelet is on the way for my 6month old son hope it hurries up =( apart from that, i give him bonjela and lots of cuddles

my teething braclet/necklace is on it way for my 6month old son hope it hurries up i hate him being in pain. bonjela is good but mainly he just wants cuddles.

We use a natural rubber teether for our little guys to chew on, it massages their gums and they love to play around with it as it is pliable, you can buy them at www.makeuwell.com.au

my bub is now 3mths and although hasnt shown any sign of pain yet he's drooling heaps, chewing on his fist, swollen gums (on bottom) and gets grumpy at night so i dont think it's far away. just hope it doesnt hurt him too much sad

my bub is 6 months and already has 2 teeth. I have an amber necklace for both him and his brother. My 1st son didnt get teeth until he was 9 months nothing like rubbing a cold spoon on the gums that has worked for me!!!!

My 18 month old is getting his eye teeth and we cruised through all the others but is really suffering with these the poor little guy. A friend recommended an Amber Teething necklace so I purchased one and it did nothing, I was then told it was probably fake sad So I did a bit of research and found a lady that was selling them on Facebook, she guaranteed the authenticity of it. I received it on Friday and I am amazed at the difference it has made, he is not dribbling as much, his redness in his cheeks have gone down, he is still a little whingy but no where near to what he was and he is sleeping through the night again lol Yayy!!! Highly recommend one of these. Tiny Blessings is the name of the company I purchased from (Not sure if I am allowed to put that but admin you can remove if I cant)

Hi guys my little 6 month old daughter has been getting red cheeks, biting everything for at least a month and a half now, been told she is teething, does it really last this long, we both aren't getting much sleep at night, i have brought one of these necklaces everyone is talking about and it has helped (alittle) how long does it take (around about) for the 1st tooth to come through.

my eldest son now 2 when he teethed it was always hideious as it was always 2 at a time, but pamlo and wooden pegs etc helped him, and our 5 month old daughter just dribbles a fair amount but i think its more because she likes what everyone else is eating.
