alternatives to chewing ice?
Baby X is suddenly SUPER into eating ice. Out of nowhere, lol.
I think they heard my partner order a cup of ice water, and something in their 2-year-old brain went, "I COULD GET A CUP OF JUST ICE AND EAT IT!!! MY DESTINY HAS ARRIVED"
So yeah, we were not prepared for this and have no ice at home. (I gave them the ice out of my coffee the first time they asked, but for some reason I didn't think of the possibility that they'd also ask for it at home.)
I'm gonna find the ice tray. But in the meantime, (and when we're out places that don't have any ice), what are other good things that people who like chewing ice like to chew?
I thought of Mentos gum, because it has a hard outer shell. But they didn't want to chew it past the point of getting through the shell.
(Fair enough. They actually enjoy gum in general, and are good about not swallowing or dropping it. But if you want the texture of ice, you're not really looking for the texture of gum.)
I guess Mentos themselves might be good????? Idk?? I'm not into ice, please help my Also V Autistic Smol Babby 😭
