oh my goodness lets see. I absolute fav was chocolate milk, grilled cheese sandwiches, marshmellows, dbl cheeseburgers (only from McD's). There was more but those were the main ones.
I dont think my parents did it with me, I saw an article on worst parenting advice a long time ago and happen to remember that, at least i hope they didnt to that to me, lol
I've heard that when baby is teething that you take a thimble or a spoon and rub it hard on their gums to break the teeth through. Arent they in enough pain? I think that used to be done way back when. Glad things have changed.
