FEEDING HACK! frozen dried mango as a natural teething solution for toddlers
atticus is finally getting his two-year molars. and this round of teething feels completely different than the last. when he couldn't talk. when he didn't try to manipulate me with his discomfort and use it to avoid taking his dishes to the sink after dinner or turning the lights off at bedtime. sure, he's perfectly happy to take tylenol for the pain—and embarrass me in public by loudly exclaiming, "mama, i want bubblegum tylenol pleeeeeeeeeease!" but he's also old enough to soothe his tender gums others ways. this weekend, i discovered that frozen unsulphered dried organic mango sliced into thin strips offer lots of relief (not to mention vitamin A). he holds one end and works the other right into the sore spot. then gnaws away as it defrosts. cool!
