teething has begun!!

macy's first tooth has made an appearance now and i had definitely been given indications that it was soon to arrive. she has been unsettled, drooling and gnawing on her hands. jobe had no trouble at all with teething and i was always surprised when he broke through with a new tooth. macy on the other hand, is a very sensitive girl and she seems to be a bit more upset about the whole thing. i have been using 'weleda teething powder' which i think has been a huge help (and i say 'i think' because its hard to really know!). i always go for the natural alternative before giving her anything else but the other day i felt so sorry for her that i bought my first tube of bongela, however, it is still sitting unopened in her change table as i still could not bring myself to give it to her. i read up about baltic amber teething necklaces and decided to give it a try. i must say that i am a sceptic about these but i am willing to give them a go on the chance that they do help her!

so here she is modelling her first piece of jewellery!!

she hasn't worn it for very long so i can't give it a proper assessment yet but i would love to hear from anybody who has used these and what they thought of them. did they actually help or is it just another thing that we are sucked into buying??

either way, i must say it looks pretty cute on her! i personally didn't think i would be buying macy any jewellery this early on!

i hope to give you a successful update on the necklace soon!
