Teething

About this episode

Kate and Claire discuss soothing babies through teething and reflect on their children's food options during this developmental phase.

This week, it’s an episode to sink your two tiny baby teeth into! Anthony’s got his first tooth and Rodney has…molars? Wisdom teeth? No, just two and a half teeth! Kate and Claire discuss soothing your child through this painful moment of growth, and both reflect on the foods their babies can eat even without teeth. With this new phase of development comes new facets of independence and that definitely doesn’t fill Kate or Claire with any feelings at all! Come for the thoughtful conversation, stay for the tooth fairy discourse. Weekly Plugs: Cucumber Slinkies Five Below Editing, recording, post production and dad insights by Joe Leonardo.
