apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Dampen then freeze a washcloth ;-)

my two month-old neice is already teething and is having a hard time with the back teeth (she keeps putting her hands and fingers in her mouth just a little too far...). I'd love to get that tommee tippee gummy teether but the site it's linked to says it's unavailable - i did a quick google search but no luck... anyone know where else to find one?

Hi Molly,

Sorry about the unavailability (and thanks for the heads up). Try here: http://www.kiddicare.com/invt/xdlttpgummyteetherl

I haven't, however, found a U.S. seller yet.

thanks... i was afraid that would be the case.
hmm... i'll have to keep looking, i guess.

sophie. the. giraffe.

i think she's popped up on here before. the kid loves that thing.

Ditto for Sophie the giraffe. It's the only thing the kid likes.

Frozen waffles make awesome teethers. They're cold, and the holes and the texture of it really soak up some slobber.

Or, there are homeopathic teething tablets that rock for those fussy, miserable nights. I recommend them to everyone.

Frozen pineapple rings - they're cold and hard so they soothe the gums. And they contain and enzyme that helps soften the gums, too.
