Hi,
just sent DH to the supermarket to get bonjela for screaming teething child, and he came back with the mouth ulcer type, and said that that was the only one, i want to use it on Eden when she wakes up to calm her, will this one work as well as the teething gel? and is it safe to use on her??? |

Check the ingredients and see what it has in it, if it seems OK then I would use it; if in doubt try PlunketLine - are they still going at this time of night?? I assume that it would work. My understanding of the mouth ulcer one is that it numbs the pain so it would likely work. Otherwise other remeedies that you probably know - wet facecloth in the freezer for her to chew, pamol, Weleda teething powder (love this!)
Good luck for at least some sleep tonight! ------------- Lindsey
