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 been Bickiepegs.

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 talk about why amber works.
Dear Kyra – 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 a biscuit or any of that. It’s phenomenal. It’s miraculous, this whole growth thing.
Dealing with Teething Naturally
Teething. In this house, it is as bad as you can imagine. My daughter, Kyra, started teething at about 8 weeks and the first tooth popped out at 19 weeks followed shortly by the second three days later. Since then we’ve had two months of welcome relief from the teething monster, but this week it has descended on us like a misty fog all over again.
Letter to a Six Month Old
Dear Kyra
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 in the same position this moment six months ago.

Despite two outings, we’ve had a quetish week. Well, uneventful, but not exactly peaceful…
Dear Kyra – Letter to a five month old
Dear Kyra 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.
You have grown in leaps and bounds this month. You seem in such a hurry. It has been beautiful to observe. It has been magical to be a part of. We are so blessed to have you as our baby.
