Feeding Tuesday: Gummy Stick Baby Gum Massager

A few weekends ago we went to a party, and my 10-month-old, Harry, had his usual necessities clipped to his shirt: a Binky on a cord, and this ZoLi teether on a second cord. One of my good friends (a mom to three) had never seen these kinds of teethers, so I thought I’d share. The idea is that the baby can stick them far into the back of his mouth, because even though the molars and back teeth don’t come in for months, they may already be growing and hurting. My first was never a big fan, but Harry cannot get enough of them. You can get a set of two of them at Amazon for $10 (free shipping, but not Prime). ZoLi Gummy Stick Baby Gum Massager
(We like these pacifier clips, but I’ve also gotten a bunch from Etsy.)

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
What is the best way to get from a London airport (Gatwick or Sanstead, most likely) with an infant? Two adults will be toting one 10 month old, plus several bags and a suitcase. I love the idea of a door to door taxi, but I think that may be super expensive?
Are carseats required in taxis? How about buses? If taking the train, how does one manage up and down stairs? Are there elevators?
Really selfish request, but can I just get some good vibes for my ttc journey? I’m at that weird point where logically I know I shouldn’t be concerned but my emotions are getting the better of me.
My doctor isn’t concerned and is wonderful- she tells me just to relax and it will happen when it’s supposed to. I am also just surrounded by all these babies who I love and don’t want to avoid, but holding them is so bittersweet because I realize just how much I want one.
Also, the internet had become a minefield- simple things like going on amazon are now littered with baby products I might like (stupid baby shower gifts) and the farmers market sends my ovaries into overdrive. Any advice for coping?
My mother-in-law is crocheting possibly the ugliest blanket I’ve ever seen for the new baby.
She knows it looks weird. She doesn’t know it looks ugly.
Oh gd, what if the kid loves it and wants to bring it everywhere like Linus?
I just said, Thank you! It will be perfect.
I know I’m lucky to have such problems (?). Trust me, this is not a problem. Just had to vent so I can focus on the other problems. But, since you trust me — it is ONE UGLY BLANKET.
Perfect timing! One of my guys is working on four new teeth (ouch!) and has been trying to cram his teething ring waaay into the back to get at the new ones. Just ordered a pack on Amazon — Thanks, Kat!
I know several people have asked about jewelry with birthstones, etc. on it that doesn’t “look” like the typical “mom jewelry.” I ordered a ring from GV by Gemvara a few weeks ago and wanted to report back on it (I know Mother’s Day is coming up…). I got the Bypass ring in silver, and put the birthstones for each of my kids in it. I think the total was $70 (we’re lucky that the kids have more affordable birth stones…).
I love it. I wear it on my right hand every day. It’s small and simple and understated, which is exactly what I wanted. The customer service was also great, so it was an all-around good experience. Not being compensated in any way for this – I’m just very happy with the process and the result.
These look nice! We love the banana toothbrush that serves largely the same purpose.

I have a concern that I’m pretty sure is entirely stupid, but I’d like to hear thoughts. My first baby was breech, so I had a planned c-section, and I’m having a second for the currently cooking baby. I attend a large group practice, and, although I think that I technically have a doctor who is officially mine (Dr. A), the policy, which I think is good, is to have pregnant women see as many of the docs as possible, so she’s likely to have met whichever one is available for the delivery. I’ve liked all of the docs there.
When we realized my first was breech, the timing to plan a c-section wound up best with the one doc that I hadn’t yet seen at the time (Dr. B). I was able to get an appointment with him next, and we wound up really liking him, and the c-section went really, really well.
Anyway, I’m ready to schedule my repeat c-section now, which will take place in about 2 months. I have a visit scheduled tomorrow with Dr. A, but I’d prefer that Dr. B do the surgery (no reason to believe that Dr. A is not perfectly capable of it, but we had such a good experience with Dr. B). When I asked about scheduling, the receptionist told me to talk to the doctor – so, here’s the thing: I feel really weird talking to Dr. A about it, but saying that I want it with Dr. B. Like that would be an insult to her or I would be saying that I don’t trust her on it or something. That’s dumb, right?
Yes! These were the only teethers my son actually used regularly. He was never a huge fan of teething rings or anything else we tried to give him. But these he kept using for probably 6 months, and they held up really well. We also used them to make mini-popsicles when his gums were really sore.
