Little dude is teething.
He's only three months old!
He barely cried for the first few months, so the last couple of days have been a bit of a shock to the system.
Pharmacist gave me Teetha gel, and said to alternate Calpol and Neurofen. I think it's helping him a bit.
He's finally asleep now after whinging and crying and gnawing on his fingers all day. I have teething toys for him, but he has no interest in them! I suppose he's a bit young yet, he doesn't really have the coordination.
Anyone else in the same boat?0 -

yep my guy is starting too, chewing his hands and dribbling loads, poor little guy. Get a Sophie the giraffe, we have one and he loves it, great for teething and easy enough to hold.0 -

Both my girls are teething since 7 weeks! Not too painful at that stage, more itchy and irritating but since 11 weeks properly teething, red cheeks, temp etc. It was tough at first as they were too young for paracetamol. But now at least I can. Give them something to help. They can't take neurofen though as it aggravates their reflux, even taking it on a full tummy.
I find the Teetha granules a waste of time. Get calgel - its sooooo much better than bonjella or teetha. Its as.hood as anbesol but not as astringent.
I also got them gummee gloves which are helping.
As my girls were born early they are 16 weeks. Due to them being refluxers GP and paediatric team have given the go ahead for early weaning. We started yesterday and they are flying it. Pear and apple is a big hit. By this afternoon when they saw the spoons cone out they got all excited!!! So cute to see. I got them the silicone spoons and they like having a good old chew on them too, gives itchy gums some relief!0 -

Yep we are the same with tesco ones, h & m have some nice legless ones.
I have been using pampers active fit to give him more room in his clothes lol lol as they are thinner and have less padding. M and s babygrows are brilliant really long as are ladybird clothes. He has 1 penneys Babygrow 3-6 months that he put on at 8 weeks and it was too small big gaps in between buttons! I bought those vacuum bags today to put away his baby clothes 0 -

I reckon my little man must be teething too after reading posts! We have no routine during the day except for tummy time in the morning (which he still hates!), he gives out stink turning his head in the air lol lol I make 6-8oz bottles which he drains but feed before I bring him upstairs around 10ish is only 4oz he sleeps till 7am then!
That's great that he sleeps from 10 to 7 in the morning. Our little girl is over 10 weeks now and she has never slept like that. Last night she took her last feed after 9, was asleep by 10:30, woke at 2:30 for feed, asleep by 3:30 and awake again at 6 for another feed. She had fed really well all day so we can't understand why she is not sleeping for longer periods at this stage.
We even moved her to the Aptimal hungry milk for evening feeds last week but it has made no difference at all. Should we move her onto it full time ?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated

We had a horrendous first 3/4 weeks with sleep I actually bought the gina ford book (she is not for everyone). During the day we stayed downstairs and upstairs was for night time. At the last feed at night say 9/10 we get him I to pjs change nappy (didnt talk to him) then brought him into bedroom and feed him in the dark (still no talking) with just the night light from baby monitor on, then into Moses basket. I think we started this at week 4 and he would only wake once at maybe 4.30/5 then that feed disappeared. Before we had no night routine it was dreadful he screamed from 10pm til 2am! I never took him into the bed and I think that half the time he work up during the night it was more for comfort than bottle! I got one for those dreamshow things and turn that on and he would go back to sleep. He has slept though the night now for a good few weeks it is amazing but I have friends who's 6 month olds are still not sleeping through maybe it is a just a fluke with me? But from 7ish in the evening we start the bed time (we don't have to do the no talking anymore at night lol lol) we don't use hungry baby just normal aptamil he gets around 30-40 oz per day! 0 -
Having serious primary school woes:(:( absolute joke, the child is 12weeks old but my primary school of choice already has a waiting list! I thought there was a recession!!!! (It is fee paying) South dublin craziness!!! And it is Easter hols so need to wait two weeks before "expressing an interest" in another school, wait to get invited for a tour and at the end hopefully get an application form off them but guess what only 12 places for non irish speakers!! Another school I basically have to right why we want to send him there and this is how they dish put the places!! At least we defo have a spot in one school we just need to show a bill to prove address. 0

My number one school isn't fee-paying but has a very long waiting list too, I have the enrolment form and all, just need to fill it out and send it in! Definitely on the to-do list for this week!
Ridiculous that we even need to be thinking about this so early!0 -
