Blake has been teething for quiet a while now and I have been trying out different ideas to help ease the pain for Blake. None of his teeth have come through just yet but his gums are certainly hard and he seems to be in pain with them.
I have tried out the Nuby Ice bite teether keys which he got as a Christmas gift. I think its a teething essential as its filled with PureICE™ teething gel. which stays cool for longer than water filled teethers. It's to be put in the fridge and used when needed to help deal with sore gums by soothing them or to massage new teeth.
Dentinox teething gel, we chose this teething gel as it was cheaper than the others at the time, being on special offer. I think any teething gel is essential as it really does help Blake with numbing the pain as once its applied he seems happier much more quickly. A friend has also reccomending ambusol liquid so we may eventually get some for him to see if that works any better.
I also have recently been using the Amber teething necklace on Blake which you can read about here. It's not for everyone but for us it's worth a try with supervision of course.
Then Blake has a Sophie La Giraffe which he loves he uses this a lot and can be found munching on her when he has a bad teething day. I know the Sophie Giraffe is very popular and I can certainly see why.
Last of all I use a teething necklace which I wear the one pictured is his favorite one. I have a gumigem one but I have found that this is the one that he prefers me to wear the most and when having a bad teething day he loves to munch on this a lot.
I am unsure which brand this one is as I was given this as a gift once Blake was born but certainly want to buy another one as we love it!
What are your teething essential's?
