My baby is 5 months 3 weeks and her bottom front teeth are coming out since last week.

She has been chewing the blankets, her bib, her dummy and everything else but those teether.

Is there a good teether out there? Can you recommend any? She hasn't been taking her bottle only finishing 100 - 150 ml each time. It's getting harder and harder during her feed :(

My son started teething at 3 months, he was reasonably bearable until he was about 4 and half months when he got really grumpy and had a high fever, all due to teething, that lasted 4 days, and once that had settled he was pretty fine, hes first tooth popped through at 5 months...and yes he chews EVERYTHING!!! i used a wet face wash cloth, and sometimes put it in the fridge or freezer for a couple of minutes, my son wouldn't chew on the teething rings either

My son started teething at about 4 months and while I can see 5 teeth ready to pop through, none have actually cut yet. Hoping they will greet us soon. When he is grizzly I find a cold, damp cloth works well or the teethers that you can put in the fridge. Or when all else fails, lots of cuddles.

My baby go his first tooth at 4mths and 1 week, he then got a tooth a week for 3 weeks so at 5mths had 4 teeth. Now at 6mths 1week he has 6 teeth!! He loved the little fish shaped teether, comes in blue or pink and I think it was a tommy tippee. He hasn't liked any other that i've brought. Also Brauers Natural Teething medicine seems to work instantly if you drop it in their mouth over and around their gums.



I can't help with the bottle thing because I breastfeed and he won't take a bottle much. He mainly chews the teat if I offer a bottle with water.
