Have u tried painstop or phenergen?

Both have a sedative in it,maybe she is so uncomfortable she can't get to sleep.

i feel your pain mine was like that 6mths ago i found water in a bottle with some ice cubes helped and ice or frozen fruit in those mesh dummy teethers also helped - the cold helps releive the pain directly on the gums and help keep their moister levels up

We're at molar stage now and it works just as effectivly now as it did then only now he holds and sucks on the ice himself

Painstop is for over 2's I thought? Definitely go and have a good chat to your pharmacist about any other drugs you want to use.

Have you tried the Hylands teething tablets? When combined with the brauers teething relief usually does the job for us, but with the 8 teeth-o-rama we are enjoying at the moment nothing is working.

Im up in the middle of it all now! :yes:

Take it from a mummy with a TERRIBLE teething bubs, shes always found it hard, hang in there.
the only way I know Annabelle is getting teeth is her terrible sleep pattern. Lack there of sleep ;)

All I do is lots of cuddles in Dp and my bed, patting, bonjela or something like bonjela. Panadol and sleepless nights will still happen. But not as bad ;)
I find once the teeth have cut through its all ok. I found instead of getting frustrated (i know it's easy) feel sorry for bubs. Because while you have no sleep they have NO sleep and they're in pain.
Annabelle wont let me see in her mouth and I just felt all in it and TWO molars have cut through! :yelclap:

:hugs:Lana- hang in there :thumbsup:

my little boy was given painstop at 14 months at the hospital.?

[justmum]

Oh that's fine - it's prescribed then. My DS has panadol in hospy wen he was 11 days old as it was prescribed. You can't by iPS over the counter for under 2's (found that one out today :o)

[Lanamuma90]

thanks guys while shes not sleeping im trying to do my yr 12 homework...so i guess not sleeping is all bad...shes taking half hour naps at themoment

[shymum]

I have found that Brauer teething relief seemed to work with my 2 most of the time, you could try that.

Good luck ! I hope your little one (and you too) get some relief soon. :fingerscrossed:

Our DS was like your DD, panadol etc did nothing for him. We got him a baltic amber teething necklace and now I can't recommend them highly enough. We still have some teething issues, but so much less stressfull now. I also noticed (maybe just coincidence) but after we put the necklace on him he started sleeping better and seemed to be generally a happier boy.
