Teething - sooibrand - 18-07-2004
My 7 month old grandson is visiting and has 6 teeth. We have given him biltong - really dry and no fat- to chew and he loves it. Does anybody else give their little teethers biltong to chew or is it considered old fashioned? I remember giving both my daughters ostrich biltong to chew and then giving the "chewings" to the dog. By the way grandson is having venison biltong - lucky boy!!!

When daughter was a baby, we would give her biltong when she was teething - it certainly helped, we did the same with son - I would highly recommend it!

Modern wisdom warns against giving your children salty things as this may be hard on the kidneys. I gave both my first two biltong sticks to chew on, and they had no problems, so I ignored that piece of advice myself with my baby
