Hey Sis,

I've got a few butt his one's the easiest. Taken from The Fragrant Pharmacy by Valerie Ann Worwood. Put 5 drops of lavendar into 15ml of vegetable oil. Mix well. Using about 2 drops thismassage it around baba's exterior jaw and up the neck area. A drop of lavendar alone by where his head lies when he sleeps can help too.

Hope this helps.

ok i will try get some lavender oil and give it a go. i would prefer using olive oil instead of veg oil as unsure what his skin would react to veg oil

thanks for the tip

Anbesol works but is not so organic. blkcryIt stops the tears though.

Have you tried letting him gnash on a frozen banana? It will cool his gums a bit.

My Dad used to dip his finger in alcohol (rum mainly) and rub it along the gum.

I think this just made the little one drunk!!

@LadyDay: Olive is vegetable and yes this is fine. Almond Oil is also one for babies at this age. I just made some up myself because the little man had decided to put down one piece of screaming today. It's his turn not to settle. Pure dribble a run.

I found that no one thing works all the time so the more options the better. Thanks for the tipsniceone.gif

i just ket him try chew my shoulder and my neck. it seems to sooth me though i end up with neck ache his head is heavy enough without him planting right in the crease of mine

i give him a teething ring but soon he gets frustrated.

hubby has got all of it to deal with as i will be back a work soon
