Xanda is only two & 1/2 months and for the past two days has been showing signs of teething, I was just wondering if it is normal for it to happen this early, and if anyone has any advice on how i can cope with it.

yep, both my girls had teeth by three months. ways of coping, Bonjella, pamol, cold teething rings. Later when he is taking solids frozen pear tied in muzlin works brilliant and they suck on it for ages.

jake had teeth early too. apparently it's hereditary, so if you and your partner had early teeth, chances are your kids will too!

That hereditary thing is interesting Liz... Nat got his first tooth at three months, I got mine at 6 months, but Josiah didn't get his until 8 months.

Rubbing the gums with a clean finger can help too - teh pressure helps ease the pain, and it also helps to 'harden' the gums. It's a bit of an old wives tale, but seemed to work for Maya. Our Mums the Word column this month is on teething here
