Teeeeeeeeeething

Hi

We are on the teething rollercoaster ride. Big time!

Aaron has TWO teeth coming up in his bottom gum, at the front, and so we are on non-stop calpol, interlaced with Provin (Ibuprofen) in between... Right now he is chewing a teething ring.  He also has an amber teething necklace.

We have the teething poos in abundance.  And the drooling for England and Ireland...
Means 4 bibs and 4 nappies in 4 hours...

He co-slept and breastfed through the night in December, due to a headcold... then same in Ireland due to a flu, and now same due to teething so he has been in the bed with me for weeks, and wakes every few hours or on the hour and in my sleep I breastfeed him back to sleep.

I do not know how I am going to wean him back into his cot............

The teeth are out only a fraction, so they are like two little slivers, and I feel them scratching me when he chews my finger.  When we left for Ireland they were two white dots, but they are now clearly starting to pierce through.

Amber teething necklace works

Point 10.  Teething.

So from the last post, I pick point 10 to talk about first...

My friend Siobhan recommended amber teething necklaces after I asked her what was around her daughter's neck...???  She had also had it recommended by a friend.

Well I looked it up on Amazon, purchased it, and haven't looked back.....

Read my review here: Aaron's Mum's review.

They really work and from the day I put it on he has never tugged at it, or even acknowledged that it is there.  He seems entirely at ease with it.  And I am a happy Mum.

Only given him Calpol once since the day he put it on.  And I don't see the red cheeks any more...

He is yet to cut a tooth, but the people I have recommended it to on Netmums have cut several teeth (or rather their babies have) and definitely, the necklace took the stress away...

Bye for now, Liska xxx
