Hi Eaker. Waiting for new pics of the little prince...hint.
We were warned about certain foods, especially hot dogs since many people cut them into circles, when we had our first baby. Easiest thing was just cutting up food until they learned to chew better.
I gave my kids frozen bagels to chew on when they were teething (or, gasp, put whiskey on their gums). ;)
Whiskey on their gums I understand. This little five month old guy is up to a fifth a day!
