Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Carol, Dominick had no teeth when we started using the bite star either, but our therapist explained that it is not so much for teething as it is for desensitizing the mouth and getting them to accept more things and move thier mouths around. Does that make sense. It is a great teether too,lol. That's the only way we could find the finger brush too. Your goal is to get him to follow your finger around with his tongue, most will do this instinctively, so that makes it easier.
