Rach - hope all is ok with your little one and that he has gained some weight. Let us know how he is going.

Tammie - I recently got Leila an amber necklace too which is fantastic!! I have found that it has greatly reduced the amount of P & N I have had to give Leila. In fact, it is only very occassionally that I give her anything now. Personally, I would try not to give them to him all the time but I totally understand how hard it is and how much pain they can be in. Leila has been terrible and also screaming like she is being murdered, it is the most unbearable sound, just heartbreaking and there's nothing you can do. Have you tried bonjela? Leila doesn't seem to like me rubbing it on her gums but gooes crazy for it when I put it on a dummy - which is strange as she's never liked a dummy until now! It is such a hard time for you and Eli. You can only do what you think is best. I really hope things improve for you as we have had such a bad time too so I know exactly how it is - Leila was waking up sometimes 6 times a night screaming hysterically.

Where's everyone else?!! Hope you are all well.

AFM we now have 4 teeth! Another 2 well on their way though so I'm hoping they come through soon.

I'm not sure if this is good or not but Leila is pulling herself up on furniture and learning to walk along it. I just got off the phone to the child care centre to see how she was going today and they said she was having a good day and that she was almost walking Of course they can't believe it as she is not quite 7 months old yet. So.... on the one hand I'm super proud on the other hand I'm wondering if I should try and discourage her? I have heard some people say that it's not good for babies to start walking too early. Does anyone know anything about this?

Must get back to work!
