Hi there,
Need a bit of advice if possible. My 4 month old dd is teething, and it appears that her canines are coming through first- there's no sign of front teeth. This is rather early isn't it? The canines, top and bottom are very white, and when I feel in dds mouth with my finger and Bonilla, they feel very hard when she bites down.
I've purchased every teething product under the sun, from water filled tether, teething granules, teething dummies, and teething toys. I've even got chopped carrot batons in the fridge to soothe, but nothing seems to work, and she seems to just prefer to gnaw on her little fists, and is clearly in discomfort. I'm giving her the ibuprofen calpol, as I've heard this is better than calpol for teething.
Any advice on how I ease her discomfort- when her teeth are bitching her she's like a different baby.....screaming like she's being murdered, not my smily happy girl- it's horrible and I feel so helpless.
If anybody has any tips, I'd be so great duo, and also would be interested to hear from anybody who's little one tether so early, and if their canines make through before the front ones.
She's usually a brilliant baby, ff and sleeping 10-12 hours a night,model eloping brilliantly, I just wish I could help her with her toothy pegs, bless her.
Look foward to hearing from other mums and their wits end over teething.
