...Everybody knows that at some stage their baby is going to go through the teething stage, but it seems that not many people know when it happens, how it happens, the different stages of teething and how they can help...Pacing up and down the hallway all night with a screaming teething baby is not much fun! Now every baby is different and each baby will teeth at different stages although the average for a first tooth is around 7 months, you may notice a white 'lump' under the gum, or perhaps the gum is redder or slightly swollen - but not every baby gets this tale tale sign of teething. Now the good news (sarcastic laugh) there are only 20 primary teeth (first teeth) to break through the gums, don’t panic your not going to have an 8 month baby with a full set of choppers on average your child will have all their teeth around 3 years...

...I first came across MacCleans Milk Teeth toothpaste immediately after my son was born in 2002. There was a trial size tube in the Bounty pack that you receive at the hospital. I held onto this dear little tube (cute like a baby!) until my son's first tooth came through at six months old. Whoopee, an exciting moment... I could crack open the toothpaste. ( He is 3 now, so teeth cleaning isn't quite so exciting for me as it used to be!) The box/ tube: White background with pastel writing in various colours, written in a style that looks like the writing was squeezed from the tube! Pleasing but not overly striking. MacCleans Milk Teeth Toothpaste is made by GlaxoSmithKline Nutritional Healthcare. Ingredients and contact details clearly printed. It is clear that this is suitable for children aged 0-6 years. The tube has... Read review

...~*~ Dentinox Teething Gel ~*~ Relieve's teething pain and soothe infants' gums. My son is now nearly 3. Thinking back to the times of teething… Urgh! Not nice! Joe used to have bad times with his teeth, bless him, and as a mother you feel you need to do all you can to help them. We'd tried and tested many teething gels and products including; Bonjela, Calgel and Bickiepegs Teething Biscuits. I found the gels we'd used, you could just not apply them often enough. So I went searching for something else for my baby's gums. I came across Dentinox teething Gel in my local chemist. I'd never seen or heard of this before. I'd not seen it on any T.V adverts either. The lady in the chemist actually advised me against buying it, and said I would be better off with Bonjela. As I'd tried everything there was to try, I bought... Read review

Disadvantages: None I can think of.

...We bought "Boots Teething Granules" just as Lauretta started teething. She is certainly much more into her teething process now although she has not cut any of her teeth yet. We have found that sometimes they are not strong enough. Lauretta has been screaming in pain and the pain has been really bad, but we have only found that calpol or nurofen has worked for her. The "Boots Teething Granules" work for Lauretta when her teething is not too painful. The idea that you
