Bickiepegs – A Teething Alternative


Teething has always been a problem for my little girl. From eight weeks old she’s suffered on and off, and at nine months she has four teeth. We have tried everything natural, and have had great success with various teething products, but I’m always happy to try different natural alternatives. Our most recent trial has… more

A Calpol Alternative?


A while ago I wrote a post about Calpol and why I don’t like it and don’t use it. Since then, I have been asked numerous times what the alternative is. If your child has a fever or febrile convulsions, what should you do? Surely a few e-numbers are a small price to pay? more

Amber Teething Necklace Giveaway


I wrote an article recently about natural ways to deal with teething. The first thing on my list was amber, because it was the first thing we tried. Since then, I have been chatting with Andrew from Amber Teething Necklaces UK who has kindly offered a necklace to one of my readers. But first, let’s… more

Dear Ameli- Letter to a Seven Month Old


I know I say this every month, but I cannot believe that it’s been seven months. I sat you in your Bumbo this morning while I was hanging the washing and I was telling you about your birth and about that exact time seven months earlier, when you couldn’t sit in a Bumbo, or eat… more

Dealing with Teething Naturally


Teething. In this house, it is as bad as you can imagine. My daughter, Ameli, started teething at about 8 weeks and the first tooth popped out at 19 weeks followed shortly by the second three days later.

I can safely say I have a hate-hate relationship with Calpol. It works like this: I hate it… and on the other hand I hate it. I have no objections to paracetamol on its own, even though I rarely use medicine, and I absolutely agree that it should have its place on our shelves, as… more

Letter to a Six Month Old


Dear Ameli I can’t believe you’re six months old today. You’re asleep here next to me, and I look down over your long little body and my breath quickens as I try to take it all in. I can still see you, a tiny little curled up figure, barely bigger than my two hands lying… more

Dear Ameli- Letter to a five month old

Dear Ameli                                                                                                                                 4 March 2010

I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by, nor can I believe that five months ago this minute, I was opening my eyes from my first decent sleep in days.
