also get a wet washcloth and freeze it. let him gnaw on that till his hearts content. the cold will help dull the ache!

[vegaenglit]

actually you should never give a baby something that was directly frozen - the whole sticking tongue on a frozen metal pole thing.

the refridgerator should be just fine though.

ohh yeah! you would have to let it thaw a bit.


poor thing with a flannel stuck to its tongue!

What a cutie pie! A friend who works in a daycare said whole fruit popsicles are good for teething babies. Lime or grape seem to be the best. Obviously, you hold the popsicle stick and the little guy just gums away. I think Edy's makes some whole fruit popsicles.

assuming the babe is old enough to start solids - six months at the earliest. also citrus can be hard for some babies so lime should probably be held off for later.

theres this mesh feeder thingee i saw (found it http://www.onestepahead.com/product/27221/307755/117.html) that can be used to place cooled/frozen fruit.

slightly thawed frozen waffles. they're cool which helps the gums and the little squares act like drool sponges.
