LOL re the icon. That's a lot of babies and mums re NCT but I love the gingerbread idea! Yay for creativity. Have you tried the Nelson's teething granules - are they the homeopathic ones you use? They are Chamomilla like we use for R's wind and if they work as well for teething then they should be good. Or you can just buy Chamomilla (Weleda make the granules). Also we have Anubesol (sp) free from the chemist (under the freebie prescription scheme thing) and you can get Calgel and Bonjela free as well I believe. I know other friends have sworn by the Anubesol as you can apply it very frequently and also the Nelsons.
I've been using Ashton & Parsons but it's not Chamomilla - I will try some with that in, I think. I have heard the gels are quite useless as they get licked off your finger as you are trying to apply them!!
I need to sort out my prescription card thing as it never arrived when I was pregnant.
The anubesol or whatever isnt a gel so easier to apply apparently - babies dont lick it off. I have some but haven't used it. Dont forget Ryan gets all his stuff free and teething stuff comes under that.
"I am going to make gingerbread men though and decorate each one with a baby's initial so hopefully they will be suitably impressed and it will gloss over the mess!!"
Ha ha, that is exactly what I would do! My house is never tidy enough but I make people cool snacks and that keeps them happy.
Abigail has Calpol all the time, I justify it by telling myself that she can't keep on teething forever, eventually all her baby teeth will have popped through and then she won't need it any more. I can't just let her suffer when she's in pain.

Good luck with your NCT night, sounds awesome. I need to join a meet up or get all my local girlfriends with kids together more often.
