<p>I saw this video:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHsrT8Om_Rk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHsrT8Om_Rk</a></p>
<p>And was struck by the baby attempting to copy the way the dogs were gnawing on their bones. I then started to wonder if anyone had ever given a baby (meaty or not meaty?) bones for teething purposes. Is it acceptable? Encouraged? A Very Bad Idea? </p>
<p>I was, truly, looking for an excuse to post this adorable future-paleo-baby video. I am not a parent, so I have no idea about teething protocols - but I might be someday, so give it to me straight.</p>

DanielleO8122012-02-22T03:19:51Z2012-02-22T03:19:51Z<p>I've actually heard that some paleo parents do allow their children to chew on bones during teething. Also a good way to introduce them to meat - little by litte. </p>
<p>Read this article... this guy goes all out with his little ones in regards to paleo. Pretty good story! </p>

<p>I'd just monitor the baby while the bone was being chewed.</p>
