I'm disappearing quickly but hubby is trying to feed me up and now she's started on solids I suppose it should slow down a bit.

Today I slept from 2:30am through to 7. First time in over 2 months. Jessica is now in her own room and clearly we are all sleeping better (at least until the next teeth come through)

Calgel and dentinox if you can still get them are recommended. I had a really painful mouth ulcer and all I had was dentinox to put on it (it may have been
Calgel it's a long time ago now so can't remember) half my face including my tongue was completely numb!

Sounds a bit like anbesol liquid which is an antiseptic. We have some and it came in useful a few times with the bottom two teeth

Just a heads up, most teething gels are not considered safe to use anymore (at least pediatricians aren't recommending them in the US). Some cause low blood oxygen levels in babies. My pediatrician recommended a cold washcloth or those cooling teething toys that you can pop into the fridge. It's an awful time, but it does get better sleeping wise. :hug:

The pharmaceutical industry is very different in the UK to the US. if any drug caused low blood oxygen levels in babies it would be removed from the market. I use Ashton and parsons powders which are natural ingredients like chamomile and then the anbesol if nothing else is working. Teethers out the fridge are the first port of call and we work up from there if she can't manage

Apart from cucumber there isn't anything this little lady hasn't loved eating so far (and even then she might have been too tired for lunch). Here she is having her Weetabix (or non branded Lidl alternative) this morning. Heaven knows why I dressed her before breakfast :))

She seems to be enjoying her breakfast! Good luck chiselling it off her face when it dries though! 🤣

That's great! Not sure why they don't remove them here. Your baby is just adorable, Lady Kelly! My littlest just turned two and he is losing the cute baby pudgy cheeks.

On a really happy note for me, my two year old slept through the night last night! :yahoo: It's been about a month since he slept through the night so I'm really happy I got to sleep too.
 
My guinea pig photo album is 99% finished (just have one photo to print off through my laptop/printer). Its taken me months to sort through & choose photos but I've done it. They are all in date order so now have a lovely album of my favourite pig pics to look at & remember them when I want/need to 😊

She looks so enthusiastic, and she’s found her mouth and got the spoon in it. You’ve got a foodie On your hands, @Lady Kelly. What a stunner.

I did my first full lesson today and survived! Things to work on, one of which is to relax and be animated like I am when talking to them individually!

Well done! All constructive critism is good. As it was you first full lesson today you were bound to be nervous, next time will be easier.

She doing so well considering we only introduced food just over a week ago. I'm making the most of her liking everything to try and improve my diet again

No 1 son's favourite food was spag bol. I couldn't get that in to his little mouth fast enough!
No 2 son would eat anything and LOVED cake.
No 3 son would just make a huge mess every mealtime and there was more food over his face, in his hair, over his clothes ..... than ever went in his mouth!
 
It’s good she likes everything. #1 and #2 didn’t like mash or carrots. Made them gag 🤷🏾‍♀️ Otherwise they are most things. #2 didn’t like sweet things, only learnt to eat them later. #3 was eating solid before her teeth came through. She started with potatoes. Absolutely loved seeet potato, avocado 🤮, pretty much everything. Except meat/chicken. She eats it now but doesn’t like cake...

Send any cakey in this direction! I adore cake (except carrot cake and coffee cake :vom: :vom: )

Carrot is quite nice. I like coffee but not too sure about coffee cake 🤔

For her birthday I do gingerbread biscuits. For other birthdays she has biscuits and a bit of icing.
