Advantages: Getting teeth so they can chew food

Disadvantages: sleepless nights

Teething is a terrible time for both the baby and the parent. You feel so much for the poor little mights. I found that with my little boy it affected him mainly at night. So kiss goodbye to sleep again!! I tried most of the teething gels, but I found that the best by far was Anbesol liquid. You can get this from the pharmacy counter in any chemist. It worked well because the liquid sticks straight to the area, instead of the gel that just slides around in their mouths. Also my little boy loved to chew on a carrot. Stick some carrots in the fridge and they work better then. He would chew quite happily for ages. I did buy various teething rings but he wasnt interested in any of them, so save your money!! Calpol helps too. The Calpol night is definately recommended by me!! The whole teething thing affects their nappies too, and he had awful nappies most of the time, and his poor skin was so sore. Vaseline works wonders!! Good luck!!
