Cot help please!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 :rolleyes:

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 :doh: 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!

sez sophie chewed it but only breifly! you can buy the teething rails from toys r us,
yes we have paint missing but not stto much and she's never chewed any other part of teh cot

Chelsea loves the taste of timber....her cot is lots of different shades now!!!

I dont have timber gaurds....i knew it would happen...but so be it...can always be sanded back and re-stained!!

Kids love to chew :D

Yeah, if it was just timber I'd learn to live with it, but it's white! I don't think it's good for him to be chewing paint flakes off it! I think I'll have to look into those teething rails Jols, what a bugger, I was just at Knox last week!

ours is white too and i remember going in to see her with white pots around her mouth, i first thoughts she's vomitted!!

Eeeeek Sez, Izzy has been doing that too - to the point that in one spot there is a dint where she has worn away the timber and it is raw timber underneath, and she's also done it on our TV cabinet :rolleyes: Ikea sell the cot guards for about $10 I need to get some too but wonderinf it they will work as she chews with her bottom teeth if that makes sense - not on top? I wonder if there is something that tastes yuck but is safe for them to put on to make it unappealing for them to do it?? Not much help am I!! Sorry!

you can get thick, transparent plastic guards that cover the top and both sides (so like an upside down U shape) that should protect from top and bottoim teeth.

Thank you thank you, I knew the BB girls would know what to do!
