I tried them teething rings ive cooled them for him i placed them in his hand an he puts them towards his mouth once an then he gets them out an chucks them away all the time but then decides to put his fists in his mouth to the point where he will spit dummy out an re put his fists in his mouth he will then gag on the fists i keep movin his hand he puts them bk in again dummy doesnt even work nemore !!
I keep saying it wont be long but haha im not so sure its lasted ages he started at 3 months an hes 5 months now how long now will it go on for agggghhhhhh lol.
Me an Oh cant sleep as lil man wakes in the night bout 7 times just for a little cry an back to sleep again on an off all night so i dont even no if thats his gums playing up. xx

he also bites the bottle teet cos he dont want the drink he just wants to chew on it or push the bottle away from him i cant win x

 

[MrsR]

You could try freezing cooled boiled water and letting him chew on that (like an ice lolly but you hold it?) is he weaned (I'm sorry I can't remember how old he is now!)

 

[scaredmum2be]

Hes slowly being weaned i tried puttin teething rings in fridge until they went cold but LO hated it an started crying hes 5 months old now hun. I cant really give him jars of food at the mo his gums r to sensitive hes not taking much food at all lately today x

my lil man is exactly the same and has been teething since 3m he is now 6m and still no teeth! It's a nightmare getting him to eat and drink, does he wake in the night for a feed cos he doesnt have enough in the day? That what Ethan does if he's had a bad day with his teeth. Just keep doing what your doing hun, i haven't found anything that helps except calpol, i tried them teething powders but they haven't worked now he's abit older. It's a long old process xxx
