:confused:No the gels aren't rubbish :confused: Some doctors are really odd. Bonjela saved my life and stopped my baby being in pain.

Next time he appears to be whinging or in pain put a little bonjela on his gums. If he settles down within about 5 minutes then you know the poor thing has sore gums.

Sounds like it :(
My DS was up half the night rolling about the bed and pulling at his hair because he's got a molar coming...it's awful, some of them really suffer alot..

A few things to try

Brauer's Teething Relief or Hyland's Teething tablets - both natural homeopathic products you can get at the chemist and they've worked really well for us.

If no joy there, you can use Panadol and bonjella. I found bonjella quite useless and we used another gel called SM33 when DS was really bad, it has a local anaesthetic in it. We didn't use this until he was a bit older though,...not sure how old your bub is but probably wouldn't use it on a really wee one.

Hope we all have a better night tonight :hugs:
