Mommies: What's your baby chewing on?

Now any mother knows that a teething baby is usually a cranky baby! And the usual remedy, besides Tylenol and teething gel, is a teether. But make sure to be careful what you let your baby use as a teether. The same evil plastic, PVC, can be found in many soft plastic and gel-filled teethers. Some containing BPA are still on the market. BPA stands for Bisphenol A, a compound found in some plastics that can mimic human hormones and cause negative health effects such as a higher risk for heart disease, liver problems and diabetes, as well as disrupting brain and hormone development in unborn babies, infants and young children. Gross! And certainly something I don't want my gorgeous Kellan noshing on.

Opt for BPA and PVC free teethers, moms!
I personally recommend WOODEN teethers! Splinters are not a concern as most are treated with beeswax or flax seed oil. And Kellan seems to prefer his over any plastic one he previously had!

I got mine from Seven Acre Toys. Check them out on Etsy.com!

This is the one I have:


This is one satisfied baby! :
(For some reason, the sound is off, but the ending part that gets cut off is "It's better for baby and the environment, so check it out!")



Happy chewing! ;)
