Teething rocks

Teething rocks
Ok so maybe teething doesn't really rock. In fact, it can be pretty painful for all parties involved. I recall more than my share of sleepless nights when my son's teeth were coming in. Not fun.

But maybe the teethers can be?


I only wish I had known about this solid organic wood guitar teether from perennial CMP favorite, Little Alouette.

The Gibson-shaped teether is made from locally-sourced Ohio hardwoods. The finish is as smooth as your baby's bottom and you can feel safe knowing that any treatment on the wood is only certified organic flaxseed oil.

I am so into this for a baby shower gift. Especially for my music loving friends. When I do gift this teether, I'll be sure to let the lucky mama know that it's handmade in a workshop that "usually contains cups of tea, laughing children, and disco music."   -Melissa

The guitar teether is available online from Little Alouette
