"And our children's cough syrup was Bourbon and sugar mixed with some water. It worked, too." And here I was thinking I was the only one feeding their kids alcohol! lol When Jade was a baby she suffered terribly when she was cutting teeth. Someone suggested I try rubbing her gums with brandy. I was so desperate one night I raced out and bought one of those tiny little bottles. You should've seen the heads turn when I got to the checkout! lol Anyway, it worked a treat and we ALL got sleep that night, and every night I had to use it on her gums. Oh, and her teeth never suffered from it, despite warnings from my infant welfare nurse! ;D Take care, Robyn. IBSSG Stockbridge, Georgia, USA Honey's Home of Genealogy www.robsfamily.com
