June - hun. The teething drives me crazy too. I have a friend who says about her 11 month old "oh, look, he has another tooth, how cool". I could simply strangle her for having it so easy! My lil fella is on to his 5th tooth now and STILL hasn't got used to the sensation. you would think he would learn to live with it! I wouldn't feel bad about using nurofen or panadol. I never use it for myself, but I felt bad about putting my own choices onto him, so I let him have some. After all, it is HIS pain, not mine, and I feel bad letting him feel pain just because I don't take anything for mine. I hope you get some sleep soon hun. Maybe "dose" him up before bed, try and get the room as relaxing as possible (I am sure you have done this already). It is so hard dealing wth a grumpy baby when you yourself are sleep deprived. As for the feeds, a few days probably wont hurt, if he is having solids as well. Maybe try a sippy cup, or even a cup with a straw. Caden drinks out of a straw, so maybe yours will too?

Suse - Caden will pretty much eat any texture. He loves porridge which is quite lumpy, and cous cous which is grainy, and mashed banana, and puree stuff. Even toast crusts and pretty much anything else he can get in his mouth (except my nipple of course ). Maybe gradually make it lumpier, like introduce a tiny bit of your pumpkin in with the jar and gradually build it up. Or maybe try some finger foods to see how he copes with that, like crusts or apple or something. I have this great teether thing which is like a big dummy with a netting thing that you put apple or banana or such in. It is great it means he can eat whatever he wants and not choke. Might be good for your Euan if he chokes on air

Hoody, Belinda, Heather, Willow, etc. Hope everyone is doing ok?
