Just wanted to know what people did when more than one bub was teething at the same time?
I just spent the last couple of days alone trying to manage two CRANKY 5 month old babies. Definitely teeth as I can see the very tip of them in the gums. ARGH...
I use teethers you chuck in the fridge, but they arent always the best at holding them in their mouths. Tried teething rusks, they only helped for a minute. Gave them panadol before bed.
It is making our everyday routine much harder than usual.
TIA

it sux doesnt it..
I used the baby nurfen I found it worked better then the panadol on my kids.
I am kinda glad my girls have cut teeth at the same time.. Means I could get it over with at once rather then one at a time and not having a break at all!
Good luck!

yep Im a fan of neurofen... But they need to have a full stomach (or something in their tum at least) when you administer it. Ibuprofen seemed to be much more effective for inflamation (which teething is of course LOL) than panadol. But not everyone will agree with me that
Not really much at that age else I can offer - teething was just an altogether nasty time at the start. Lots of cuddling for that period was all we could do.

Amber teething necklaces saved my sanity

Yep mine wear Amber too (as seen in my sig

). Panadol/Nurefen help too. Actually, come to think of it, since I got the amber they have been HEAPS better when cutting teeth (including molars).
thank you! I will look into amber necklaces =)

Thanks Gem, we're also heading into teeth land.
Just wondering Steggles where did you get your necklaces? I've had a look online but there are just so many, looking for a recommendation. And do your little ladies sleep with them on?

I got mine with a group of friends from an eBay seller. Actually they are about to do another coop so I can fid out the details and order for you if you want? Will be cheaper
They don't wear them when sleeping - would be a choking risk. You can get anklets/ bracelets which would be less risky. Each stone is knotted so if it snaps it will stay intact.
I'd love to know the details, thanks steggles.
