Things Help

  1. We found the amber necklace to be a godsend. When our two gents were teething, they’d soak a bib in 5 mins flat. Amber necklace on, they didn’t even need a bib. Seemed to help with pain relief too.

  2. Look into “baby-led weaning”. No need for pureeing - literally whatever you’re having yourself! Started introducing solids to both at 6 months, but they were breast-fed well over the year mark.

Fair play pal - welcome to the life of a skilled juggler :smile: Hope missus Rocko and Rocko Jr. are in fine fettle.

best for teething, well if you want sleep Novimol/Calpol or else Neurofen is the best job
Teetha sachets are ok, we use a calmomile based gel that we got in Israel, it seems to disctract him anyaay and gets him to sleep
keep soothers in the freezer also
id say this fella was eating almost everything by 8 months, we still give him a bottle of aptimil here and there but by 14 minths his breakfast was weetabix and bits of toast

Well done mate. Teach him or her to kick with both feet and you could have an Irish international on your hands.

For the teething, I always found a bottle of decent whisky did the trick. A few shots to start, then a dropeen rubbed on their gums to numb them up…and keep drinking if that doesn’t work.
On the solids what has worked for several generations of my family. Make a thin purĂŠed soup with a potato, a carrot and a bit of broccoli. You can start around 4 months. They absolutely love it

The young chap statistically stands a much better chance of making it in professional football being born in Q4. Good planning, @Rocko.
