The ABA gave me some advice when Ella was biting during the feeds and suggested a cold flannel or a clean wet finger and massage the gums. When i put bonjela on i give her gums a good rub. Even though her teeth came up a the front Ella seems to be more annoyed by the teeth in the back. (keeps putting her teething toys and my finger at the back of her mouth)

iberru - good idea about asking for another syringe. I hate panadol ones it kind of EJECTS the whole dose in the mouth which makes them cough. Apparently its so sweet to hide the bitterness...yuck.

Tara - do they work? they look like little baby mouth guards LOL

Yay Ella slept well. (so mummy slept well) She woke for a 12am feed and then again at 6.15am. I'm not taking her arms out since wrapping her these days frustrates her when she can replace the dummy herself.

Yesterday we had hysterical tears... didnt know what was wrong. I tried bonjela and was about to go for the pandol since she seemed to be in pain. Turned out she was doing a poo and was very emotional about it. She went off to sleep once the deed was done, her nappy changed and got a big hug from mum.
