  • I’ve heard cold spring onions the green and white stem area (no the leaves) are great!


  • Teething rings – can pop them in the fridge or freezer first too, that helped my little one


  • After a recent article here on MoMs, I suggest you avoid those amber necklaces. I’ve never been convince of how effective they are, but now they’re a choking hazard, definitely avoid


  • Children’s panadol to alleviate some pain and teething rings.


  • Thanks for posting this question! I myself am finding this whole teething business a bit of a challenge due to lack of sleep from being up with a cranky and uncomfortable bub. Most of these tips I have used but at least teething won’t last forever.


  • Lots of things to chew on. Teething rusks are great. Fruit and veg sticks. Teething rings you can refrigerate. With a little help from Panadol when the pain is really bad


  • At our women’s & children’s hospital in S.A they have their own gel & it works a teat. Can try a cold wet facewasher to chew on. Even put it in the freezer first


  • Panadol to relieve pain and fever. You just have to let it pass.


  • buy some teething gel and give them something to bite down on


  • Try a amber necklace


  • An amber necklace worked a treat for my daughter.


  • bonjella – really helped with my two.


  • Have multiple teething rings which you can alternate from the freezer.


  • Put some teething toys in the fridge so there nice and cold for baby and toddlers gums when they bite and suck on it.


  • You can buy teething gel with anaesthetic it works well and also panadol then nurofen two hours after that so one every two hours


  • frozen fruit would help as well as a big chop bone to naw on as well as rusks and you can buy a cream to help numb the gums


  • I have also found that cold strawberries have been a big hit with my daughter lately… Especially since there is another big toothie on the way up…. The teething toys that go in the fridge can also provide a little relief but I find that they don’t stay cool for long enough.


  • You can get strong teething gel from the hospital. ask your local dr


  • I love Hylands (natural) teething gel! It works wonders for my daughter and best of all doesn’t have an unpleasant taste!


  • Frozen damp face washer is great. And frozen berths is great once they start eating berries. Worked a treat on my son and so health!
