2. Teething

In this episode I cover what is teething, symptoms associated to teething, non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments for teething, how to overcome dribble rash, myth busting teething necklaces and the truth about teething gels. I also outline things to look out for that may require further or urgent medical attention.
