Teething what fun this is!! Right we got a teething necklace for DD and i noticed a difference straight away for the first few lots of teeth the necklace and the natropharm teething spray seemed to be all we needed. I did find tho for those nasty back teeth we did give pamol and i did end up using a bit of bonjella from time to time.

I have also been told that emu oil is great for teething im keen to try it next time around.

Personally i think its hard to find what works and doesnt, i have ladies that swear by teething necklaces and some that dont notice a difference. I also tried the teething powder but found that didnt help much. Frozen teething rings or fruit in a wee mesh bag she seemed to love and give her some relief.

I just use the teething necklace and the teethmed spray and when its real bad i use pamol :)

Im really surprised at how many people leave their necklaces on full-time. I couldnt do that, I'd be too worried my wee one would strangle herself, even with the safety clasp mine has. I take my daughters one off at night, however when she is teething I put it around her ankle at night. Better a strangled foot than a strangled neck...

I have thought the same thing Sally. I would worry about that possibly happening.

I do think the teething necklaces sound great - i have never used them though.

oh man..my one year old is getting her top teeth and talk about GRUUUMMMPPPYYY lol.. where do you get teething Amber necklaces from? bonjela doesnt really do anything for her....well that I know of.

our girl is teething so bad lately, and bonjela does nothing, pamol doesn't do much either so she's finding it quite hard, but has been really good lately, she always seems to just smile through her pain :(

My babies are now 10 and 5 years old, but I used the weleda Teething powder topped with a bit of pamol on the really bad nights. I used it with both kids.

where did you get your teething necklaces from? they sound like a good idea and better to get them before they are needed lol! also does anyone know on the phil and teds buggys can you get a seperate front bar...ours doesn't seem to have one and seems a little unsafe once bubs is bigger and sitting forward. :)

One of the prizes for this months Bingo is a teething necklace from ecomoon :)
Maybe you could try trademe?

well will just have to win bingo lol

Weleda teething powder sounds like a good idea :)

Some of the ladies in my coffee group use the Weleda Powder and swear by it. I am using a necklace and bonjella (I had already bought the bonjella before I heard of the Weleda powder). She still seems to be having trouble and we don't even have any teeth yet. On really bad nights I use Pamol but try to avoid it a bit as I don't even like taking Panadol myself.

OK the cynic is converted! I have to admit that the amber necklace really seems to work. Even my hubby who thought I was MAD when I bought it has admitted that it seems to help. So many lumps and bumps in my wee girls mouth at the moment and we really noticed the difference when we took the necklace off for 3 days to go to daycare.

I was the same Jules...I seriously questioned whether I was mad buying one...but I now thank that for making teething a more pleasant experience....after a few months break Mimi is getting her back teeth now so Im using it again.
