Hoon,
Like Jamie, I'd start Ethan on Stage 2 as soon as he's ready for it.
But since it's rather confusing, do call Meadjohnson and check with them.
They're the best person to ask, in my opinion
Maddy's Mum,
I've got a Parklon 15mm too and it's great!
Ethan didn't like the 'hardness' of it initially as he's used to lying on soft surfaces, so he would stiffen and whimper when we put him down.. hehe
But he's getting used to it, we played on it earlier.. less whimpering I must say
Jamie,
Yes I've got a teether toy, it's called a baby buzzr
www.babybuzzr.com
It was bought from the US so I'm not sure if it can be found locally.
Prawnie,
Ethan turns 6 months on Sunday and we've still got a tin or 2 of Nan1 left, which I'll be giving to him anyway.
I wish I hadn't bought so many but oh well..
To me, a 6 month+ baby can still consume FM meant for 0-6 months. You're only using up what you've got left and it's still going to be nutrition
