Teething Toy

This is Vera's hot favourite - not some water-filled silicone teether but a therapy tool called the Ark Probe. The rubbery protrusions are a delight for her itchy gums - one lower front tooth is already peeping out. She's also learning that she can control the Ark probe in her hand (I lightly help her grip it) and move it to and away from her mouth. She's beginning to realise that moving her arm can bring the fun thing for her to bite. Without a doubt, THIS GIRL IS LEARNING. Slowly but surely. All she needs is time.

congratulations on going to school! she will love it and they will love her i'm sure! and how awesome that she's able to see her feet now! that's so cool that she likes the teether. when kaiya first got one of those she was dead set against it (mostly b/c she doesn't like to have anyone but herself control what is going into her little mouth...)they can use similar types of tips on a machine called a z vibe. vera might enjoy the vibration.

May i know where to get ark probe in Singapore. Thinking to get one for my boy who refuse to open his mouth after staying in hospital for 11mths.

Vera is a cute girl. Give her some time, sure she can do alot of things.

I have the contact for the ark probe and other therapy tools too. Vera hated anything in her mouth when we first started therapy at 6 months. But we had a VERY good therapist and now after 5 months I can say she loves the oral stimulation! I highly recommend feed therapy now if your boy is 11 months - don't wait, reverse the oral aversion now. Do email me for the contact if you're interested.
