I found bonjela quite good, and also tried the amber necklaces but hard to say whether they really worked or just a placebo – i think they did???
teething rings chilled from the fridge
Anbesol plus Teetha granules works wonders for me oh and eating wooden furniture

Thankfully my son has never really suffered when teething, but the best things ive used have been teething power with a bit of teething gel.
teething gel, chilled teething rings and lovely soothing slices of melon
We found Bonjela useful.
cold bits of fruit from the fridge
healthy and cooling
Bongela & a chilled teething ring
Weleda teething powder and ice cream.
Always remember that it won’t last forever
Teething rings/items – pop in the fridge!
Along with teething rings etc, when they don’t want to use them I found distraction to be my best technique. Get them involved in wanting to play something else, amuse them and they forget the pain for a while
I used Ashton and Parsons powder which worked with my girls
Cold cucumber from the fridge! Or teething rings that have been in the fridge. Also the learning links r good for chewing on!
Calgel, teething powder and carpool if really bad!

Bonjela
I used to give my kids a cold spoon but that was years ago. Someone told me to do that and i always worried that they would hurt themselves on it but they never did. I was always there, never left them alone with it but if it was cold enough it would cool the gums down. Bless, teething is awful for them. I know what its like to have toothache it must be pretty similar.
having lots of safe chewable objects around really helped – little rubbery toys
Cold Cucumber works
Bonjela is great!
Lemon juice works just as well as bonjela
Teething pegs ! (toothiepegs here in the UK they used to be called)
Cold Cucumber works
Amber teething necklace – brilliant, love them
Cold carrots
to bite daddys finger not mine !
Bickiepegs are good
anbesol its brilliant
Ice pops my kids loved them
We used the calgel – Georgie seemed to like the flavour better than bonjela! Other than that, distraction proved the best thing during the daytime!
Teething powders have always been a life saver for our house

Wet a washcloth, wring out most of the water. Stick it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Take it out and give it to your baby.They will love it! The texture of the washcloth and the cold with help soothe their gums.
I always put bonjella on there dummies x
I don’t have any tips as this is my first baby. I usually just let him chew on my fingers (washed, of course)
My little boy used to love ice cream! He now loves to chew his snuggly penguin!
everything from gel to ibuprofen whatever works for your baby n gives you some sleep
Lots and lots of bibs for all the dribbling that comes with teething
Nelsons teething powders have so far been fab!
Boil some water, freeze it into ice cubes and put them into a Nuby feeding net to soothe teething gums
Freezing carrots in the freezer!
Bicciepegs – i dont know what i would do without them
Pt teething toys in the freezer for 30 minutes before you give them to your little on to soothe their gums
I used lots of things, calpol, teething gel, powders, bikipegs, teething toys that went in the fridge, they all helped in their own way.
a teething ring chilled in the fridge x
Bonjela and teething toys is all I can think of.
The teething rings you can put in the freezer were a god send for me
Teething beads
Nelsons teetha granules have been a life saver for us. Also I really recommend Munchkin Teething Balls they are about £3.50 from Tesco, look weird but my little boy loves his and it really helps hand eye co-ordination. If your baby is weaned you can give cold carrot sticks to gnaw on too.
