mags, calpol do a gel now which is good, you don't need to remind me of the nappies i've had 6 in 2 days off her, I don't think bikki pegs are around now, but she loves rice cakes and bread sticks, slices of apple, carrots and cucumber. i think shes catching up on her lost sleep today, i have just put her back to bed and she singing at the moment. lol sandra

We used Anbesol liquid for teething pain - brilliant - much better than Bonjela. It's antiseptic and anaesthetic - just rub it on their gum. Remember Bikkipegs - do they still do them? Chris much preferred a Kit Kat finger! It's not just the pain and temperature is it - I'm just remembering the 'teething' nappies! lol I'm a granny too - Holly's 3 now going on 30 and an absolute gem. It's great isn't it? Magsx

Bless her little heart! xx I can remember sticking my finger in my son's mouth on the morning he was exactly 7 1/2 months old saying 'according to the book you should have two teeth' (you know what first time mums are like) and he had! No fuss, no bother - wish the others had been so easy! lol My daughter didn't cut her first tooth until she was 11 months old. Mind you she couldn't 'arf chew with them gums! lol Give her an extra cuddle from me xx Magsx

yesterday was a day of cuddles, katie now 7 months had a streaming cold she was up with mum all sunday night, and yesterday settled for an hour in the 12 hours i had her, today shes brighter, singing, shouting and laughing and that first tooth can now be seen. She also learnt to blow raspberries so lunch was fun. Bless Her, lol sandra
