Eating Wood

[blacklily28]

I gave Leigh Ann a wood toy, and now she's beeneating it. Is it ok for her to digest wood, or should I take the toyaway permanetly?

 

[Lissa]

If the wood is dyed, it's not good for them to digest. If it's just plain natural wood, I see now harm.

 

[Lissa]

It's good that she chews wood. She's trimming her teeth.

Hi Blacklily,

How isyour little one doing?

As Lissa said, they do need to chew to keep their continuallygrowing teeth filed down. A great article written by Pamnockis:
