 Thursday, May 7, 2009Crib Notes: Toddler Teething Troubles?Try using frozen waffles. At our house, frozen mini waffles worked even better than any toy or frozen wash cloth. One waffle consists of 4 mini versions that right out of the freezer help soothe an aching mouth in no time.

We are a group of colleagues, friends and working mothers who wanted to find a way to share our experiences as parents with others and to seek the advice of those who have encountered and successfully overcome some of the ordinary and not-so-ordinary challenges of working motherhood. Among ourselves we have 10 children: boys and girls, babies through school-agers, children who are adopted and not-adopted, have special needs and those who don’t, and each of whom is precious in their own right.
As professionals, our experiences range from child care to politics, writing to retail. In the interest of full disclosure, we all work for Bright Horizons, and some of us are beneficiaries of the company’s child care services. But this blog is meant to provide a community of support and discussion for all working mothers (fathers welcome too!), and you need no affiliation with Bright Horizons to be a part of the conversation.
We hope you enjoy and join the dialogue too.

Great idea! We used frozen mango chunks, too.
Just a caution to anyone using frozen foods as teethers. They can be a scary choking hazard. I learned this the hard way while watching my 6 month old nephew chewing happily on a very frozen bagel. His saliva melted the bagel as he chewed and he choked on a chunk of the bagel that came loose. Thank goodness his mother, my sister, had a faster reflex than I did and was able to quickly dislodge it. That was 8 years ago -- and six years before I had my own baby, but the frightening experience has stuck with me.
