Well i've decided nothings perfect, though you could give him something cold to chew on leave it in the frihge for ages and then let him chew on that, or you could try the Ashton powders they are herbal, so they are ok for little ones, hope they come through soon, my lo suffered terrible until her first 4 came through, now she's teething again, but doesn't seem as bad with it, so good luck hun xxx

As Sassy_1 said, the Ashton & Parsons powders are really good, my little one , he almost has his whole fist in his mouth at times,,then makes himself sick !! Really feel for them when they're like this !
Good luck xx

ashton and parsons are fab, u can use bicci pegs also if u can hold it for ur baby these worked wonders for my baby, try bonjella on a tooth brush and give all of the gums a wipe around with that then let ur baby chew it on the side it hurts/ we also gave brook home made juice ice lollys and let her have a good suck on that and it really cooled her gums down. but with bicci pegs..... we gave our daughter one and she had cut a tooth within an hour!!! i highly recommend them!

Hi, my little boy Daniel started like that at 12 weeks and I was convinced he was teething, used the Dentinox, cooled teething rings etc and he didn't cut his first tooth till he was 10 and a half months old and that's still the only one he has!

Hi there I was surprised too - my little girl was only 10 weeks when she started chewing everything - a bit surprised I thought they dont start until about 5 mnths?

My 9 week old daughter has a tooth coming through - you can see it under the gum! She's colicky too so crying lots. Lets hope it gets it all out of the way quickly! Used Ashton and Parson's powders with my son and they are good, but also used Anbesol liquid to rub on the gums (it numbs them) which was a godsend too.
