The Wonderful World of Teething

"Children chew on EVERYTHING while they are teething." Yes, I heard this before, but NOW I know EXACTLY what that means.
Devon's beautiful cherrywood crib... destroyed in no time by little beaver teeth. It took us a while to figure out how to prevent further damage since traditional plastic teething covers do not fit on newer-style cribs.

I thought I was going to have to figure out how to sew something to tie around the rails - until I finally found these "Cribwraps" online. BabiesRUs & Bed Bath & Beyond sell them - online only. They did the trick. I only wish I had them on his crib BEFORE he started teething! Please tell any first-time mom about this product!

Chewing on books...

(Disassembling &) Chewing on his Rainforest playmat...Chewing on the "walls" of his kingdom...
Chewing on his fingers... Chewing on his sock... (Yes, my son has a lovely habit of taking off a sock & sticking it in his mouth.)
Chewing on a TEETHING RING!
