I have 4 boys and all were completly different when it came to teething - I've had the complete full works of screaming and chewing on anything that would fit in his mouth down to my second oldest waking up one morning with a full set of teeth and I didnt even notice (ok so I'm exagarating a little, but he honestly didnt winge at all!!). With two of the boys I tried everything. Bickie pegs worked for a while although they can get messy and once wet everthing possible sticks to them, not to good on the hygiene front. Calpol, I found they got used to it and after a while it didnt work but my big break through came when i was invited to an aromatherapy party at a friends and discovered chamomile oil. If you put a small amount of neat chamomile oil on a bit of cotton wool and rub on the OUTSIDE of babys cheek where the redness is (where it is hurting) it calms the baby down and relieves the pain. I was a bit wary at first until one night in desperation I tried it and it worked - within 10 minutes I had a sleeping baby!!! You must make sure that when doing it you dont get any in babys mouth so dont soak the cotton wool and keep away from the lips. I did this with my younger two and found it a lot better than trying to get medicine down their throat so it is worth a go. The only thing is chamomile oil is quite expensive but can be used for loads of other things too. For example if mixed with lavender oil and a base cream it is great for nappy rash and a bottle lasts ages. Good luck and remember it doesnt last for ever (it just seems like it!!!!)

Actually, I think the freezer-teething ring is the best thing to use (along side a dose of Calpol at night!!) as the ice-cold really numbs their gums. Nice review. Gwen x
