Teething – Finger Foods?

Hi Karen –

I think this is definitely a teething thing – Owen has done it every time he’s teething badly. He will chew food in the sides like you said over and over – and now that he’s older he’ll hold it in there for a while (as in hours after eating) and then eventually he spits it out. It’s SO gross – and then I worry about him not eating enough too. It usually doesn’t last too long, maybe a week or so, and I think it coincides with the teeth breaking through.

Owen and Marisa seem to be more alike all the time!!!

I bet it does – with Owen it usually happens during the week prior to new teeth. Last time it happened it was really bad – and he would end up spitting the food out at the LEAST opportune places like the bank. Yuck! But then he had three new molars all broken through when it was done so at least I know he was accomplishing something with the gross habit!

Sounds like teething to me too Karen. She’s going to have a mouthful before you know it!
I noticed she likes the goldfish – those are a staple at our house and
in our diaper bag too. Let us know when those teeth pop
through!
