What’s best food for a teething little girl??

She doesn’t like her warm food, just cold fruit yogurt, but can’t just give her them.

Any help will be good please?

Nights times are the worst, she wakes up crying, dribbling like mad and rubbing her poor little mouth. We have got some nelson granules 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ think that’s the product, we tried last night, which we think helped, but she did have some milk afterwards which made her go straight too sleep.

She doesn’t like taking calpol anymore, she’s even clocked on when we give it with yogurt.

My sister used to give my nephew this weird looking teething net. Sounds strange I know, she used to put mashed up banana in it then put it in the freezer.

I googled teething net and it comes up with munchkin fresh food mesh

We use Bonjela each night before bed (the baby one) and it seems to work well.

We have been using that for 4 months helps a bit. But don’t know if shes getting used too it now. We will try anything, horrible too see her like this x

Oh perhaps the Bonjela isn’t doing the trick anymore. Poor baby!! We haven’t used anything else but to be honest I think my little one isn’t having too hard a time with her teeth, not yet anyhow. So the bonjela at bed time seems to work for her and she is fine all day. Perhaps she is in the middle of a sleep regression which isn’t helping either?

Yes she’s hit the 7 month sleep regression on top of teething aswell. During the day teething isn’t such a problem fights the naps. But night time is the worst.

We escaped the 4 month sleep regression, so this has hit us hard. x

Quite a lot of people swear by anbesol liquid (you just have to ask at the pharmacy counter for it), we have some and have used it at times but so far our little ones nights haven’t really been disturbed when teething (guess we’ve been lucky so far!) She currently has two bottom teeth and two coming in at the top but not the two front ones but the ones either side 🤷‍♀️ Weird child! She looks like she’s getting fangs for Halloween 🤣

I’m not sure if it’s the teething or sleep regression, I personally think it’s the sleep regression. She started teething from 10weeks and we haven’t really had any problems with it x

I’ll have to look up all the sleep regressions and hope we skip them all! (Made it to 11 months so far 🤞🏻) The only wakings we get are due to illness or food reactions so I count myself very lucky! Wow from 10 weeks for teething, it took until she was over 9 months before we even got our the signs of our first tooth x

Yep teething since 10 weeks and still nothing. x

Try giving her a raw carrot stick to gum, chewing something hard can help the tooth break through the gum. X

Poor little babies. It's so hard isn't it. What about offering her normal food l, but cold? If she likes the soothing cool of the yogurt maybe cold soothing veg purée (or whatever it might be) could hit the spot too? 🤞😊

Not what you're looking for?
