I personally don't like to give any kind of chew when I leave the house, a blockage could happen with almost anything and you won't be there to do anything about it. I also give mine a treat as soon as I leave- I use something very tiny that is eaten before I even shut the door. If your kids need something longer lasting to keep them entertained, consider using a kong, it can be stuffed with peanut butter, yogurt, etc. and even frozen to make it last longer but there won't be a risk of choking. |
Oh, I LOVE the Kong idea...I will look to see if I can get small ones since the girls are so small! Great and thanks! As for the pumpkin and beans, the older one has never been too open to "different" foods but the little one will eat anything. I'll try those and maybe the older one, Abby, will eat those foods when she sees Gidget eat them. Good ideas!
