Well, I got E some French teething biscuits at Whole Foods, and he loves them. The package features a picture of a baby gazing at a biscuit as if it contains the answer to age-old mysteries. The little blurb on the package practically suggests that you try one yourself. Maybe I will (just kidding). They look pretty hard.

While we were in the store, some song by Squeeze was playing and E danced a little to it, tapping his stroller in time to the beat. A guy who was sitting on the floor, drilling or something, made friends with him. I mentioned that he was teething and the guy said, "Yeah! When my kids were teething, we took the milk we were feeding them - soy or whatever - and mixed anisette in. It works!" I explained that I was still nursing, and he said, "Then you pump and mix the anisette in! It works!" He was really enthusiastic. I'm not sure. Maybe I'll stick to Tylenol?

probably only at WF would a male employee be able to answer the nursing issue : )

My guy loves anisette toast, so the anise is not so far-fetched. E might like it.

Some woman said that, actually - she walked by and said, "I do lactation, and I've never heard a man give a woman advice about it before." So of course I wondered if she was a lactation consultant or something, or if "I do lactation" just means breastfeeding. She did have a baby with her.

That was pretty brave of him to give advice involving breastfeeding. Maybe he "does lactation" also??

"I do lactation, do you?"

I can think of a ton of them, what a strange way to put it.
