i think my 3 1/2 month dd might be teething. she has spent the last few days having uncontrolable crying that is out of character & hard to settle. when i feel her gums i can feel her teeth underneath. i have heard of something called bonjela. can anyone enlighten me on what it is,when & how to use?

hi there my ds is going through the same thing. bonjela numbs the area temporarily you just rub it on their gums. you can buy it from the supermarket for about $6 or $7. Brodie is also having panadol before he goes to sleep. and i put the bonjela on every four hours. he has been much better since!

good luck

I would also recommend Braur Teething relief. its one of the few things that helps bug with her teeth and she just got 10 in 12 wks

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try!

If you can feel the tooth then i would say she is teething... poor bubba.... my DD just cut 3 in 2weeks

Bonjella is GREAT... its just a clear gell that you rub on the gums and it numbs them. You can use it every 4 hours.

It costs about $7 and its in a little blue box.

Bonjella can only be used on babies 4 months plus...

yeh i would be hesitant to use it on dd yet.

i bought these pills for my dd before she was 4 months and they worked great.
there called hylands teething relief. you get em in a apck of bout 125 tablets and you give 2-3 with a tiny drop off water on a spoon.
works wonders!

I think it would be ok for you to use Bonjella on your daughter as she is so close to 4 monthes the midwife at the chemist said it was ok for me to rub a little bit on my sons gums be4 he was 4 monthes i would go in to chemist and see what they recmondend.
