I have a 20 month old daugher who was a slow teether. I tried all the gels and granules but they were all much of a muchness. However, before putting on teething gel try and dry the gum with some tissue, sounds tricky but with a little care and patience you should be able to get a good footing for the gel to hold on to!! Otherwise with a dribbling baby the gel just slips off!! I found granules and Calpol the best combination. The Calpol cools the blood down and seems to take the edge off the pain and the granules back it up and seems to take the babys mind off the discomfort.

Although not recommended by any baby books there were times I placed a little gel on a soother and used it to rub onto the gums. I think she got a taste for it and quite looked forward to it!!!

Another tip (but no category) when baby gets a cold go and invest in a Boots Vapour machine. It slowly releases a eucalyptus menthol aroma into the room and allows baby to breathe more easily. I found it worked wonders and it can be used for all the family. Warning it is electric, I plugged mine behind a chest of drawers and placed it up and out of her way.

Just learnt something from that-thanks-will definately try and dry the gums as I always thought it was pointless using gels for the reason you said-it just slides straight off-good tip
