Teething powders

[emma3997]

Hi girls, I'm looking for advice on getting half a sachet of teething powders into a very grumpy three month old!!

J is grumpy, dribbly, off his milk, being sick, tummy upset, hard gums etc etc......so I bought him some seething powders to try and settle him. As he's under 6 months, the box says to use half a sachet. Not easy when he's in a foul mood!!!

Does anyone have any tips as it says it needs to go onto his tongue dry so not sure if I can wet my finger to give it to him?

Our first attempt was not very successful and he ended up covered in the stuff!!

I wet my finger and do it that way when Evie is playing up x

I didn't use them until Ben was a bit older so I could tip a whole sachet in. If I wre you I'd dip my finger into it, as long as the powder gets in it shouldn't matter how.

If you use one wet a dummy and rub it around in the powder, a fair coating is about half a schet (I didnt find any harm in giving slightly over half) then just pop it straight in his mouth.
If you dont then do the same with your finger instead.

I put my little finger in Daisy's mouth then dab it in the powder and back onto her tongue until the necessary amounts been given xxx
