Bonjella Bonjella is a well known name when it comes to
teething and while it received very mixed reviews with our Mums it is the cheapest option at $9 per tube. It would also be acceptable to say it is the most accessible being available at local supermarkets. Bonjella is also the only reviewed product from Australia with the remainder of products all being from New Zealand. Bonjella is a sugar-free, clear, banana-flavoured gel for the relief of pain and discomfort associated with infant teething. It contains mild local anaesthetic to numb any pain, and antiseptic to help fight infection. It is applied directly to the gums but is not suitable for children under 2 months of age.
QBaby Teethease Teething Gel QBaby Teethease teething gel also received positive reviews and retails for $22.
QBaby TeethEase Gel is 100% natural, combining herbal extracts and clove oil in a base of Aloe vera gel. Qbaby TeethEase Gel is also promoted for its management of the bacteria on the teeth and therefore helping to maintain a balanced and healthy environment. The gel is applied directly into the mouth with a clean finger and is suitable for use in newborns.
It is important to always read the label with any product being used on your little one to ensure correct application and that it is being used as the product was intended. Some of the above products are for external use only (Nude Alchemist Teething Tamer) while others are given orally or applied directly to the gums. The above reviewed products also have minimum age requirements for use ranging from newborn to 2 months. Additional recommendations for the relief of pain during teething were cold face cloths or chilled teething toys for little ones prior to starting solids or for those on solids chilled or frozen fruit pieces. We hope you find these reviews are helpful for your teething journey.
