Should bones be used as teething tools (with bonus video)? - PaleoHacks.com most recent 30 from http://paleohacks.com 2013-05-22T00:43:06Z http://paleohacks.com/feeds/question/99381 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://paleohacks.com/questions/99381/should-bones-be-used-as-teething-tools-with-bonus-video Should bones be used as teething tools (with bonus video)? Blossom1 2012-02-22T03:00:44Z 2012-02-22T03:53:31Z <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> http://paleohacks.com/questions/99381/should-bones-be-used-as-teething-tools-with-bonus-video/99386#99386 Answer by DanielleO812 for Should bones be used as teething tools (with bonus video)? DanielleO812 2012-02-22T03:19:51Z 2012-02-22T03:19:51Z <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><a href="http://hawaiianlibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/05/paleo-baby.html" rel="nofollow">http://hawaiianlibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/05/paleo-baby.html</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/99381/should-bones-be-used-as-teething-tools-with-bonus-video/99397#99397 Answer by henny for Should bones be used as teething tools (with bonus video)? henny 2012-02-22T03:53:31Z 2012-02-22T03:53:31Z <p>As long as the bone is safe like a knuckle bone and not sharp or too small I think a bone is a good 'teething ring' with great flavour.</p> <p>I'd just monitor the baby while the bone was being chewed.</p>
