Colic and teething?

I have just returned from a trip to my doctors with my 7 month old baby girl.





We took her because she seemed very restless at night. She is also in the early stages of teething.


The doc checked her ears and they were fine and checked her gums and confirmed it was early stages of teething.





He also said he thinks she is a bit colicky. She has several dirty nappies a day which are quite solid, rabbit dropping like. Since she has shown signs of teething she has gone off her formula a little. This left her a little dehydrated which he says can also cause colic.


His advise for her teething pain was to give her calpol (infant suspension) along with infant ibuprofen together at night to take away the pain and to help her sleep.





Has anyone got any advise or been in a similar situation with colic or any of the symptoms above?


Many thanks and a happy new year to all.x

yes all of the above you could also try teething powders you can get them from chemist i cant remember make but they have been on the market for about 30 odd years so must do something i used them for both my kids and they did get some releif also ask your gp about homepathic crystals for colic one of the gps at my surgery is a great beleiver in homapathic remedies and i also used these for both my kids,good luck in whatever you use i know it is a very tough time you are going through but it does get better,good luck
Reply:Yes, that sounds like reasonable advice.





Try giving her fresh orange juice, diluted with some cooled boiled water to help with her dehydration.
Reply:Put one teaspoon of dark Karo syrup in her bottle. Don't use the pancake syrup. It will loosen her up, and get her to drink more.
Reply:put some chopped fruit in the freezer then give it to her. it helps with both th sore gums and her poo.
