    Ok...well...I do apologise for being AWOL.

    We are in teething hell at the moment.
    My poor little fella has cut his first tooth with no hiccups, but the following ones are giving him a tonne of grief...

    He wants his dummy, but it must hurt...wants a bottle, but spits it out, wants to sleep, but just can't settle, wants to be cuddle, but then arches his back when you sit with him (altitude disease!)

    We've tried all I can think of at this stage:
    Baltic Amber teething necklace (and bracelet)
    Bonjela
    SM33
    Brauers Teething relief
    Horleys teething tablets
    cold things (including vegies, but he won't eat them cold
    rusks
    Chompy toys
    Chomping on mummy
    Panadol works as a last resort, but we don't want to do that too often.

    People keep suggesting Nurofen, but I have an anaphylactic reaction to it so we don't want to risk that!

    My last line of defense is trying to hunt down 2 of the TLISMI MOTI indian teething pendant (apparently 2 works better than one).
    I've found them on ebay, but they will take 2 weeks to get here!
    My sister is a nanny in london and the little fella she looks after is 12months old, cut his first 5 teeth, then a massive back molar, she said he had no dramas, and he wears 2 of the TLISMI MOTI pendants....

    I just need to find some in Oz.

    might be the way to go here too. because she likes to grab her rusk and it goes straight in her mouth. even though she has no teeth she definatly is slowly eating it. its amazing. i love going through this stage all over again.. the exploration
