‘ looks like a nice peice of jewellery, but can have a dual function as a safe teething item for your baby’
GUMIGEM™ is the original UK teething necklace aimed to provide mummy with a stylish accessory that baby can chomp on to his hearts content. What a truly fabulous idea (why don’t I ever think of these things!) Denise Van Outen has one too y’know!
In two styles, and many colours, the necklaces are made from a similar material to that of most baby teethers. Our silicone meets FDA standards and is BPA, PVC, lead, latex and phthalate free. It also has a high tear strength so you can be confident it will stay intact. They can withstand high temperatures, making it easy for them to be sterilised or put in the dishwasher. Perfect, no more ripped at or spoiled jewellry or fragile chains getting broken.
Heart shaped in lots of colours (£12)
and you can also get them in a lightening effect (£10)

I was really lucky with my little girl that she had no problems teething she has had more problems with her baby tooth falling out!
For my little lad I rubbed the powders on and if really bad calpol.

My little one has just started teething so I would really appreciate one of these. She is trying to chew anything and everything she can get her hands on. I a using the little teething rings that you keep in the fridge so they are nice and cold for her but when we are out and about it’s a bit of a struggle.
Nelsons teething granules were very good!
I have teething baby at the moment. We use bonjela gel :/ My Emma still cry a lot, especially at night, horror!
Teething granules, teething rings kept in the fridge and lots of cuddles!
My little lad has had bad teggys coming in so we have been using powders like the teetha ones or A&P ones. Also have
Add some diluted juice (suger free ) ice lollies and he has been having a munch on them 🙂

With my son nothing worked, but this time I am prepared with my daughter. She is currently wearing an amber anklet as amber is supposed to help with teething pain 🙂
My 6 month old is just starting to show the signs of teething (dribbling more, red cheeks, a high pitch squeal every so often whilst pulling at his mouth and putting absoloutly anything and everything into his mouth) so this would be great for him when we’re out and about.
We have some cold teething rings for the fridge but he doesn’t like cold things in his mouth…not even particularly fond of yogurts because they’re cold! So i’ve stocked up on baby Bonjela and a couple of bickie pegs =)
My baby’s just started teething and the only thing that soothes her is breastfeeding!
I found Nuby teething rings invaluable. It has many different textures and shapes which she loves exploring. The blue ridged oval is the current favourite.
With my son nothing worked but with my daughter I am prepared and she is already wearing an amber teething anklet which is supposed to help with teething 🙂
i found teething powders really good – worked better than the gel!
fridge teething rings seems to help a bit
Bonjella works.
When my son was teething, I would cut up pieces of carrot and cucumber for him to hold onto and gnaw against, it really seemed to help him, especially when they were nice and cold from the fridge 🙂
If I won I would give the gift to my lil sis for her baby, she would love it 🙂
We use Nelsons teething granules!
We used Biccie Pegs that you can get from the chemist. Didnt have much trouble with mine though
Teething – what a nightmare
My baby hasn’t started teething yet, hence why this prize would be wonderful! I imagine I’ll buy a teething ring & keep it in the fridge so it’s cold & soothes his gums.
I’m pregnant with my first child, so haven’t had the experience with teething yet, but we have bought dentinox in preparation and a teething toy which we hope will help.
I helped my daughter with her teething by giving her chilled cucumber sticks from the fridge to chew on – it really helped 🙂
Ruby had the odd awful day but in general she was really good. She still has a few teeth to come through though
@laylafletcher
teething rings , and biccies for as they got older , also bonjela teething gel.
Teething rings. 🙂
We use teething gel. I’d love to try one of these necklaces! (@pandcands)
My health visitor advised that I allow my son to chew on cooled pieces of raw fruits and vegetables, such as apples and carrots* That always seemed to do the trick.
*Always supervise your baby to avoid the risk of choking.
teething rings which have been kept in the fridge over night
My daughter didn’t have too many problems with teething. Bickypegs were good I found. My son hasn’t started teething yet so I may be in for a rough ride this time and be in need of the beautiful necklace.
my sons teeth were so sharp he punctured one of his teething rings! took me ages to work out why he was soaked…
he is older now and actually struggling teething his big front teeth, there isn’t anything for big kids teething their adult teeth, tempted to get him one of these to wear himself!
i found that carrot sticks put in the freezer great for teething little ones. cold to help soothe something hard to crunch on and in case they are hungry food too!
Chilled dried apple rings worked for mine.
There trouble coming in and trouble coming out.
With J I found the most effective thing to be ashton and partons powders, I’ll definately be using them this time around!
I use biccy pegs for my son to bite on
All of my children have done well by the help of a frozen carrot to chew on. 🙂
I have a large rainbow crystal pendant on a silver chain that my 8month old constantly tries to chew. So worried she will snap the chain or the pendant will come off but she really likes it.
Teething Granuels and a cold teething ring
Teething powders and calpol. A teether from the fridge and bickipegs to gnaw on too
My daughter has just started teething and unfortunately nothing is working so far. We have tried giving her Nelsons Granules but she just vomits them up, we have tried Calpol but doesn’t seem to make a difference and at the moment she is too little too hold a teething ring or toy for too long.
This is why we think that the Gumigem would be perfect for us!! 🙂
i find both the gel and powders work, my son is teething and likes to chew his hands alot. try a little calpol if they wont settle at night x
Lots of comfort and an old fashioned teething ring 🙂
I use Bickie Pegs for my daughter but she is just as happy to chew on a toy or a finger!!
My littlest is suffering badly 🙁 Ashton & Parsons and Nelsons Teething Granules seem to help a bit, but one of these would be great! 😉
Calpol and Calprofen doubled up but for the most part he didn’t really suffer that much!
I found teething rings impractical as many are too big to to get in the mouth – Bonjela teething gel helped to numb the area
We use teething granules & facecloths which have been in the freezer are great for little mouths to chew on!
I was using cooling gels.
we use bonjela and chilled teething rings
my little girl doesnt like bonjela and my finger is going to start getting smaller soon
My main helping hand re teething has been to make sure Daisy has a soft bib on at all times to catch the enormous amount of dribble 🙂 Othere than that, teething granules and lots of cuddles seem to be doing the trick and keeping her relatively happy.
Teething means meditation
Calpol, Bongela & teethers mostly.
My little ones been teething for a month solid and still no teeth 🙁 We helped her with frozen carrot sticks, ashton and parsons, Frozen teething toys, teething gel toys. I’m hoping they come through soon!
bonjela and lots of cuddles …its been hard work …also we have a little teether you put in the fridge thats helped a lot x
Bonjela & distraction techniques seem to be working for the most part
calpol and patience was the main way we dealt with it ….oh and lots of help off our mums 🙂
teethers, teething gel and baby paracetamol helped
bongela, calpol and lots of help and advice off our mums
Bonjela and fruit icecubes in his Nuby Nibbler. God send!
My son wouldn’t chew on teething rings, so I’d wet the end of a washcloth and put it in the freezer. It was cold, yet soft and soothing. Now if my 10 month old little girl ever gets teeth we’ll get to try it again!
The pain was mostly at night, and worse when Isabelle was lay on her back – so after a generous (but appropriate!) amount of calpol we propped her up on her side for a cozy and less painful night’s sleep!
