As a teaching grannie, I loved playing a game with my grandson. As I put the cereal on his tray, I counted them aloud. When I finished counting them, I knocked with my knuckles on his tray counting again and saying the total in a "hooray" voice. Soon he was counting them back with knocks. Now he can tell me how many are on his tray by knocking. We loved the "knock knock" game while we waited for the food to warm up!

Plus most babies dont use their teeth yet until about 1 year of age. They use their gums to chew. Thats why its important to not give them anything to hard or anything that you yourself would need your teeth to eat. Remember always keep on eye on your kiddo while their eating.
