DS woke from his sleep a little while ago, and I left him in there happily chatting to himself for 5 or so minutes. When I went in he was standing there with paint flakes all over his mouth! He'd evidently been having a lovely time chewing his cot

What do I do? I don't want him chewing on paint, and I don't want the cot wrecked (obviously that is secondary). And no, my cot doesn't have one of those teething rails I wondered should I make sure it did, but the saleslady said that babies will just find another part of the cot to chew on. As I really wanted this cot, I decided not to worry about it. Obviously I was childless then!
