[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 176024, member: 1991"] We bought difficult child 3 some gum, but found we did have to watch out for two things: 1) He would go through it really fast, he kept going back for another piece and a flavour "top-up", and; 2) he would stick the gum just anywhere and leave a mess. I eventually went out and found a rubber teething ring for him to chew, told him to keep it in his pocket and bring it out to chew when he felt the urge, and to chew the teether instead of his clothes or the furniture. I think he realised then that it was a big problem for me, and the mild embarrassment of having his own teething ring made him really try to curb his chewing. Marg [/QUOTE]
