teething ...

[evelyne]

HELP! my little one is putting everything in her mouth, and recently started even eating my wrist, anyone;s fingers ... i think she is probably teething ... was wondering whether i could get anything from mothercare/elc for her to gnaw on - any advice would be very welcome thanks

My LO likes chewing on a clean, damp face flannel. "Sophie the Giraffe" teether from NCT is also quite popular. You can try offering her other things from around the house too, like a large plastic spoon or cold fruit. I notice that my LO often gets bored with things and I have to rotate them. And sometimes, she likes to chew on unexpected things... today it was the buttons on my mac!

Depending on the age of your baby, using finger foods could be brilliant. Our little one loved chewing on sticks of melon, watermelon, pieces of toast (possibly because the roughness of wholemeal toast helped with itchness?), etc etc
