One is a blankie where they can chew and you can dip one part of the blankie in water and freeze it, then they can chew on that frozen end. It also contains a removable plastic water-filled ring, that's BPA free. There are even special wooden teethers. Neat. I definitely want some of those next time!

I make a large batch and freeze them (on parchment so they don't stick to each other) and keep a zippy bag full in the freezer. Other frozen whole wheat breads like bagels or even just a slice of sandwich bread are favourites. We also use those thin baby washcloths to wrap a piece of ice in and use a hair band to hold the washcloth tight around it and he loves this! My little guy loves frozen whole wheat banana pancakes!

I've also given her very, very hard pieces of toast and crackers like TJ's woven wheats (imitation triscuits). I'll have to try that polished agate idea -- if it were big enough, you certainly wouldn't need to worry about it being swallowed!
