Bonjela and powder sachets have really helped my 6month old. On odd occasion calpol too x
They do have sugar free ice pops but another thing my son love...mash up fruit and freeze it like a popsicle that way its really healthy and they get all the nutritions with it...my son absolutely loved frozen strawberies
There is a sugar free option go with that you wouldn't want to risk rotting their teeth before they even come lol
Certain meds...teething rings and once there old enough ice pops....that always did the trick for my son
