Dribbling, Red Cheeks & Tears

It might seem premature but Reuben has the starter symptoms of teething, we have noticed how he seems to want to place everything in his mouth and is starting to dribble a lot!

His poor little cheeks have come up all red and the doctor confirmed his gums are rock solid and to expect some teeth to pop up some time in the future, I am led to believe there is no real timescale on the first one appearing but hopefully sooner rather than later as even thinking about what babies have to endure when teething is enough to make some of us cringe.

We have started giving him some teething gel which is a great help but failing that Calpol is good for keeping his temperature down.

Reuben is such a character and even when he is clearly in pain or upset still manages to crack a smile which makes our hearts melt :)

Any tips for us on the teething front that have worked for you?!
