WFMW: Frozen Bananas for Teething!

This is a double tip! First of all, when your bananas get too mushy to eat (which, for me, is anything past the first brown spot - I like my bananas underripe!) you can stick them in a Ziplock bag in the freezer (peel and all) and freeze them for the next time you want to make banana bread (or muffins, or pancakes, or smoothies...).
And, when your baby is teething and miserable, you can take one of those frozen bananas out of the freezer, run it under a little warm water until the peel is soft enough to remove, then hold it in a paper towel and let your baby chew on it. Be sure to carefully supervise so that the baby doesn't get any big chokey chunks. I tried this tonight with my 5 month old daughter, Claire, and it helped her settle down long enough for the Tylenol to kick in, and then she went to sleep!
