You can also occasionally offer your baby a piece of chilled cucumber or hard crust bark for chewing. (teethfever.com)
Normally when I make a pull - apart bread I'll use a round loaf, if only because it's easier for me to find a loaf of bread with a good, hard crust in that shape. (thewickednoodle.com)
I didn't like how hard the crust was (really couldn't get a fork through easily at all since it was more like a solid brick) but I'd try it again in the future with less almonds to make it a thinner crust which may help with it being so firm. (feastingonfruit.com)
