When I was at Whole Foods the other day, I bought these organic Teething Biscuits for the baby. It's a hard baked oat and barley cookie with molasses for flavor. I bought them because she chews on everything we give her and I think she's trying to cut some teeth soon. Also, instead of chewing on plastic rings, she will get some extra iron and calcium from the biscuits that she is sucking/biting on.
Well, she LOVES these biscuits. Whenever she's having a hard time in the car or in the stroller, I give them to her to calm her down and immediately she begins munching on her biscuit. I only give them to her outside of the home, but today, I used them as a distraction while I cleaned the kitchen. Usually she is entertained for about 15 mins or so when I give her the biscuits, but today, she held on for a good 45 mins while I did the dishes, cleaned the frig, microwave and wiped the hardwood floor. Maybe watching me was entertaining as well. As soon as I was done, I went and got the camera to take a picture of her messy self and managed to get one good shot before she realized that I was no longer working and was available for holding/playing. She threw down her biscuit and proceeded to make her "come pick me up" cry. I got a few pictures of that before I had to put down the camera and console her. Afterwards, we had a nice long bath. -S
