Hard to get in Ireland I think
My two never got anything as regards gels, when they were driven up the walls a dose of nurofen or calpol and work through it.
Both would go mental if you went near their mouth while teething. 
You can get some stuff up the North but itās banned here. I think thatās it. Or some version of it.
We got some but never really bothered. The Mrs found out there was a reason it was banned in terms of whatās in it!
About a week. We had been warned by others and nurses about dreaded day 12 where it gets worse. This didnāt materialise for us. Day 12 or 13 was probably when he was fully over it. He did get worse on day 3 or 4 before getting better. Basically nurofen and calpol alternatively around the clock for a week sorted him.

The lady that runs the crĆØche our one is going to calls it baby cocaine. As you said thereās nothing in it, sugar is the active ingredient Iād say. @anon61878697 give the child the drugs FFS and let them and you get some peace for a few hours

Arenāt they all sure
Not illegal but there alcohol in it I thinkā¦
how far are you from the NI border?
get some calgel - think it contains lidocaine so it numbs gums- we brought simialar back from israel - cant get it in ROI i think
What it is, is that the same as bonjela etc they arenāt allowed to advertise themselves as teething gels anymore because they havenāt been proven to be effective
Thereās a chemist selling it over the counter in Limerick so it canāt be illegal can it? Itās sitting in plain sight as well, a big box of it.
Limerick, even the chemists have an edge
ok jesus i was sure it couldnt be sold - anyway
going to a pharmacy in limerick could be similar to going to an arab pharmacy in jerusalem - they would give you a bag of tramadol if you needed it for a few dollars once you exchanged appropriate pleasantries

You could have just tried a bit of fennel tea.
A good S&C program would have cured his teething no bother
Signing in. 
Baby Nwoko is 1 week old today, and itās been the most exhilerating week of our lives. Itās true when they say, nothing can prepare you for it and how strong a love can be formed;
3am yelps? Iāll get that.
Successive togs filled? Aww, so cute.
Did you just puke on my shoulder? Itās grand, I have two.
The young fella is really pumped up for his first Super Bowl on Sunday, and like his dad, has thrown his lot in with Andy Reidās boys.
