Come and join us as we discover the crazy things they used to put into teething powders, how we found out what they were and why it took so long to get rid of them.
This week is part 4 of our teething series and we’re taking a look at tainted teething powders. Teething powders are as popular today, as they were 200 years ago. Whilst the powders of old may not have been anymore effective than today’s, they were definitely far more dangerous.
