Ladies -
Our little boy is 7.5 months now (where did the time go). In any event, he sports two teeth and likes to use them. We used to let him gnaw on our fingers/ knuckles (he never took a pacifier) with the teeth in place though, his little fangs can hurt. Any suggestions on how to curb this little dracula?
LOl! We call our 2 year old Twilight, becuase he loves to bite! Whenever he bites, which has decreased recently, we tell him, "teeth are for eating, biting hurts, ouch!"
Does he like a chewee thingy?
Time to unteach him what you've taught him is OK!
My 9 mo old loves a wrung-out wet washcloth. She has bitten holes in it! But it makes her content, and she likes sucking out the water. Talk about a dracula! lol
Food. Let him chew on hard teething biscuits, or some skinned apple slices. Our son had dracula teeth, and we let him chew on food. Or a sippy cup with whatever beverage. We also tried a teething blanket, it was like a foot long, and soft, with hard rubber corners. Good luck!
teething rings, frozen grapes and blueberries in a mesh feeding bag.
I'd start breaking him of the habit of chewing on/biting you. It may be cute and drooly now, but soon he won't understand that when he has more teeth IT HURTS and all of a sudden isn't OK.
There are also 'beginner toothbrushes' that are rubber (no bristles) that allow them to chew on the stick without a choking hazard. It helps to relieve the pain associated with teething as well as helping to 'brush' those first little teeth.
