Teething - update pg3

ETA....I have been meaning to ask you, how do you pronounce your daughters name?

It is prononuced like REEFER but with the R at the beginning lol

To be honest for teething pain I find Nurofen the best thing

I'll try Nurofen tonight...how much dosage? I am really anti medication if I can help it but I am getting desperate now as OH is threatening to gag her and sleep on sofa

I agree with Steph that baby nurofen is much more effective than calpol and it lasts longer overnight. It comes with its own little syringe too!

I hope it works for you

The dosage on my nurofen bottle says 3-6months 2.5ml maximum 3doses in 24hrs and 6-12months 2.5ml maximum of 3-4 times in 24hrs... Every 6-8hrs... I find that nurofen (ibuprofen) does last 6hrs and you can give it while they have calpol in their systems too - it's a good idea to 'layer' it if they're really distressed to get the maximum pain relief (also good to do if they have a very high temperature)
