Some help and advice

[mumofone2009]

Hi all its been 8 weeks since I've been on here . My 8 week old son is cutting his first two bottom teeth I was shocked and surprised to find that he was teething so early as my daughter who is now 3 going on 4 didn't start cutting teeth until she was 5 months old and with her I rubbed whiskey on her gums like the dentist and health visitor advised but I wouldn't dream of doing this with my son as he is only 8 weeks old I was just wondering what other people would recommend

A friend's daughter is just 6 weeks and is also cutting her first teeth; she was after some advice and was told to try Nelson Teething Powder and Teetha Gel (and some Brandy for herself lol).

I Thought the teething powder was brilliant and they do a teethinggel but I find that hard as it just slips off. .. babies seem to be teething earlier and earlier these days x

Keep teething rings in the freezer - my SIL is a nursery nurse and swore by this for both of my nephews!

There's teething dummies which I froze then gave to my daughter. And nelsons powder is amazing!

There is always a box in my relatives homes, and if anyone (young or old) had problems then they use it! It's a little pricier then the others but asda often have it cheaper but Id check online first
