Teething!

Ok.
So I wanted to wait till Olivia was at least 4 months old before starting her on solids because her dad had childhood allergies and even then my Plunket Nurse says that I should go slow because of her hear murmur! So now I need some non food ways to help with teething. She is a little young for bonjela, or so it says on the pack, and I am very reluctant to use pamol now thanks to what I will only refer to as the "pamol incident". I've been trying frozen dummies (she never sucks on them now anyways so they may as well be useful for something) arnica for inflammation and colder formulas so her mouth wont get to warm and sore. I would love to hear of anymore ideas!

Yeah I have the arnica for inflammation but I wont have her on anything else food wise other than formula till I'm sure her digestive system is ready for it.
I might just do another cruise down to the heath shop in town!

yes i was curious about that pamol incident as well. with mikey, when he was teething he just loved to chew on his cold teething ring, i used to wrap part of it in muslin so it didn't freeze his wee fingers.

The "pamol incident" is check what strengh you are given at the pharmacy and make sure it is the right dosage, I was given adult strength!

bad chemist!!

I used weleda teething powder (same as my2angels said) with my oldest boy and it seemed to work, not sure if they still make it or not?  Its a powder that you mix with water to a paste.  Good luck in finding something that helps, I have all this to look forward to lol!

that's awful! did you go and tell the chemist what they'd done?? that's a pretty big lapse in concentration to do something like that. hope olivia's all fine, if the doctor says she will be then she probably will.
lol, you had me running straight to my bottle of pamol to see what strength it is.

Thanks for all of your tips, when I was at the Dr's today he said to just give her the bonjela! Hehehehe, so I will be ignoring my packet instructions for the next couple of weeks!
