My poor little man is teething.. Tried calgel, amongst other gels! Teething rings and nothing seems to be touching the pain.. Calpol works but i dont wanna give him too much. An old lady suggested i rub brandy on his gums.. Should i give it a try? Any1 elses lo teething at the mo? He has been crying all morning.. Very hot, red gums, dribbling and chewing his fingers (not my dp!!) So def. teething..

With the powders, do you just put them in her mouth with your finger?

I stuck a (clean) finger in ellas mouth, then dipped it in the powders and put it on her tongue. Didn't seem to help though so wondered if i'd done it wrong...
