SO WHAT ABOUT NELSONS TEETHA?
Nelsons Teetha relieves teething pains and, conveniently, is safe for young children and infants. It comes in powder granule form, in sachets. One box contains 24 sachets. Each box has a cute picture of a baby on it sticking two fingers into its mouth.
Each sachet contains 300mg of the stuff.
The stuff is chamomilla, in minute quantities, along with lactose, xylitol and starch. more
Our little one is cute, adorable, lovely... and teething. So far he has two lower and one upper tooth, with another one coming. This means the poor boy wakes up several times a night, crying.
WHAT IS "TEETHING"? For the infantly challenged, teething is when the first teeth grow - they cut through the gums which is uncomfortable and painful to the little chap/chapette, who cannot tell you what is happening, so they cry. This usually happens at night - that is when the teeth seem to grow the most (perhaps because the chap/chapette is horizontal so gravity can assist).
REGULAR REMEDIES Most remedies work by applying them to the affected area, and teething remedies are no different. One takes a tube of the stuff, squirts a small amount onto the (clean) finger then, when the chappy/chapetty is distracted in mid-howl (and the mouth is conveniently open) one inserts finger and wipes the dollop of remedy over the gums. Pain is eased, chap/chapati falls asleep again, so does relieved parent.
BUT... We've tried the usual ones, which did help but now he seems to object to them and they don't work any more. He resists Calgel - hates the stuff. When we try to rub it onto his gums, he turns his head away, writhes and wriggles, pushes our hands away, basically says "Sod off you with this stuff". Ambesol was okay to start with, but he won't take it now either. We needed something different. Someone suggested we try something homeopathic.

HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES I am sure there are reams of stuff written about homepathic medicines on Ciao (if "reams" is the write word for electronic data storage? Maybe "there are chips of stuff" would be better?) so I won't bore you with much more. Suffice to say, homeopathic medicines are natural; they don't contain pharmaceuticals. Nor are they like herbal medicines, they don't use naturally occuring chemicals or substances which can be just as damaging.
Rather, they use minute quantities of naturally occuring substances to stimulate the natural healing processes at work within one's own body. They help the body repair itself.

Each sachet contains 300mg of the stuff. The stuff is chamomilla, in minute quantities, along with lactose, xylitol and starch.
The product is sugar free which is good as it doesn't damage the teeth that are being produced. It also means that it is unlikely to cause hyperactivity or give energy bursts.
To give a dose, when chappy/chapati wake sup crying in the middle of the night, if you believe it is due to teething you just open the box, remove a sachet, tear the top off and empty the contents into his/her loud, open mouth. He/she should then close mouth to swallow, pain should be relieved and peace should be restored.
Further doses can be given every two hours, up to six doses, so if chappy/chapati wakes up again you can give some more (as long as it is two hours since the last dose).
SO DOES IT WORK? Yes. A resounding yes. Our little one, as I mentioned, was objecting firmly to the regular medicines. It would be a battle, he would immediately push our hands away, so we would have to slip the finger with gel into his mouth really quick, before he realised. We only got one shot at it. And invariably he would be awake crying again half an hour later. So we tried this one.
When we poured the first sachet into his mouth, he immediately closed his mouth and swallowed. Seconds later he had stopped crying and seconds after that he was asleep again.
"Must contain a sedative as well," I mused. "Vodka, perhaps, or chloroform," but no.
He woke again about three hours later. We poured another sachet into his upturned, open, loud little mouth and the same thing happened again - seconds later he was asleep.
Fantastic. Does exactly what it is meant to. He was very happy and refreshed this morning, and he didn't smell of a mix of tears, sweat and licourice that he used to after a night of half hourly Calgel doses.

Advantages: Fast Relief For baby, Handy sachets Disadvantages: Pricey - BUT worth it!
...and before I came across Nelsons Teetha I had tried the usual Calgal, bongella, teething rings and the suggested method of applying Calpol to the effected area. Although good, they only seemed to work for a desired time, and my baby didn't seem any happier and the sleeping patterern was totally out of the window.
I needed something better, something to help me and my son get through this time!
I was told about Nelsons teetha, teething crystals ... ...PRODUCT---
What is Nelsons Teetha?
Nelsons teetha is a homeopathic ready dosed sugar free powder that simply dissolves on your babies tongue. It calms the baby down as well as getting rid of any discomfort.
The active ingredient is Chamomilla. The packet contains 24 sachets that are really easy to use; you just tear one of and shake it into babies' mouth. I don't think they have any taste, as my little fellas had no trouble taking them.
A dose ...

My daughter, now 14 months, had her first tooth at 16 weeks and had 8 by the time she was 7 months! Those few months she seemed to be permanently teething but I was loathed to keep giving her paracetamol and teething gel as she seemed so little. I also was never sure that it was teething that was responsible for this grouchy crying little thing, it was so hard to judge-was it teething or was she just tired?
We had several difficult nights when I ... ...to last a few hours.
When a friend with an older baby recommended teetha I had never heard of it but was ready to give it a go.
I bought it from Holland and Barratts, our local health food shop and it costs aound £4.25 for 24 sachets but I have seen them in supermarkets recently.
I asked the assistant for more information and she phoned Nelsons, the manufacturer who apparently said they were not actually able to recommend homeopathic remedies ...

...could try and he gave Nelsons Teetha granuals. I was a bit aprihensive as he said it was power again i thought it was going to be a nightmare to give Aaron (my son). I was pleasantly surprised with the difference between the two though.

Advantages: Effective, calming, easy to use, portable Disadvantages: Bit pricey but worth it
This product was recommended to me by a friend as I had tried a few other teething powders (reluctantly as I don't really like giving chemicals to someone so young) but none seemed to have any impact on my poor 7 month old son. I was intrigued to try a homeopathic remedy for its natural properties (it contains Chamomilla) and this one has not let me down once!!
It comes in a box containing 24 easy to use sachets - I will admit the first few times ... ...clamp his mouth shut and he ended up looking like he was snorting drugs!! However, once he realised the powders tasted quite nice he now gets super excited yet instantly calm with mouth wide open as soon as he sees the packet now, which is the best way that I know they work. They instantly calm him, day or night, and definitely soothe the teething pain. I have sometimes used them when he is just agitated and they really do the trick. Easy to administer ...

WHAT ARE THEY?
Nelsons Teetha are homeopathic remedies which calm and soothe the pain of teething.
The Teethas are granules , similar to sherbet, and they come in individual sachets which you pour into your babies mouth. As it looks a bit like sherbert. and it can be a bit tricky to get it all in the mouth, and quite often we have spillage on the nose or chin!
TECHNICAL STUFF
Each 300mg sachet contains 6c homeopathic potency of Chamomilla, ... ...can give your child one sachet every two hours for up to six doses.They contain camomile, which calms your baby, and soothes their gums. DO THEY WORK?
Yes, (usually) I don't know how they work, but i can usually guarantee my daughter will have stopped grizzling within around 5 minutes. HOW MUCH DO THEY COST?
At around £4.50 per pack of 24 Nelson's teethas are quite expensive,but I wouldn't be without them. Some shops do their own brand Teethas, ...

Advantages: cheaper than Nelsons Teetha Disadvantages: awkward powder
Boots Teething Granules are in effect, a cheaper version of Nelsonsteetha. Homeopathy is prescribed not just by ailment, but by the particular sympthoms manifested by the individual, and their emotional state. 'BootsTeething Granules' is a commercial preparation of 'Chamomilla', a homeopathic preparation from chamomile flowers. Homeopathy is generally very effective of babies on small children.
Homeopathy works on the principle of 'like treats like' - it gives you a miniscule dose of the disease or poison htat fits your sympthoms, in order to trigger your own immune system and healing processes. It will work for most babies teething, because they are cranky, with a low pain threshold, feverish, often rashy, etc. However, it won't work if the child has a green nappy, green discharge from nose - pulsatilla would be better.
