Hiya

Calpol
Bonjela
Teething ring
Damp cloth put in freezer for 30 mins or so - they love to suck on that and the cold helps their gums
Watch out for toxic poos and nappy rashes - sudocrem good for basic nappy rash, but metanium better for the more severe ones
Excessive dribbling - look for bandana bibs online - stops the neck from chafing with all the dribbling
Appetite sometimes goes as well, so try to keep fluids up if this happens

Hope this helps?

My baby is teething as well so I could also do with some tips!! Have tried teething gels and teething granules- no good, although the granules do calm her down for a short while! Also tried teething rings for her to chew - these just get looked at in disgust and then thrown on the floor!! The only thing that works is cuddles, fine during the day but at 3 am when I have had no sleep, not so good!! I can feel the bottom teeth starting to break the surface now so hopefully things will improve soon

Its hard going...DS has his molars coming through at the moment, 2 bottom and 2 top!!! He's grinding down on anything he can get his hands on, his appetite is all over the place and he's pretty grouchy!!! Joy!
