We don’t have that picture, but Aaron teethed on Bushmill’s whiskey. Until I put some on my finger to rub it on his gums and he wrapped his lips around it and sucked it all off. We started using Motrin after that.

Cute baby, cute husband…who gives a s**t what the hordes of moron mommies think.
He didn’t choke, he (presumably) didn’t have an upset stomach, it helped his gums, it’s all good.
inkleberry , you really owe it to yourself to go back and slip some mention of circumcision in there as well, either pro or against, doesn’t matter.
C’mon, it’ll be fun!
Oh, how waffle.
Good news is that your catchphrase doesn’t show up on Google yet – I tried various combinations of commas.
Actually, Tinkleberry is being circumcised on the 18th to try and stop the repeated bacterial infections.
And because mommy wants a new pinky ring.
It’s number one under “waffle at three months”
I lurve that icon. I wish to steal it for my own. Also, I lurve the guy in the tub, I wish to steal if for my own.
Hell, I gave my six month old Fugu-- with the spines still on!
Which icon do you love?
Hell, with a bottle of Jagermeister and a New England snowstorm, you too can get a boy in the tub and a baby to boot!
Spines are good- they provide texture and allow the gums to open up for new teeth to emerge. 
inkleberry, wow. That is indeed, well and truly, the mother of all flame wars. You should be very proud of yourself–what an achievement!
The OBEY ME!! one.
That’s just wrong. The waffle is a uniter, not a divider. Viva La waffle!
Oooh, if you really want to get something new started, photoshop a pic of your baby playing with lawn darts. 
Geeze, I didn’t realize that full-contact motherhood had gone professional and gotten to the death-cage stage. Personally, I wish all of the type-A hyper-competitive types with a 4.2 GPA from Overpriced Exclusive U. would tear each other up and get it over with, and let the rest of us sane parents raise our children in peace.

Sorry, the real Mother of All Flame Wars was the “Who Is Mr. Ruda Duda?” thread on the SDMB back when it was on AOL. I don’t think I can adequately describe how insane this thread became. I’m still not sure who Mr. Ruda Duda is, because it quickly became an argument about ageism, with interludes of arguing about basketball. (Seriously.) We couldn’t see how many posts there were in a thread, but at one point one of the mods revealed that the thread at over ten thousand posts. For weeks at a time, it would get 100 new posts a day. This went on for…a long time. I don’t know, maybe five or six months. It was amazing.
I wonder what ever happened to Ben, anyway?
Holy crap. I saw that the other day and realized just how insane parents can be. When I moused over the title of this entry I knew exactly which flamewar you were talking about.
For the record, I let my daughter teeth on frozen waffle sticks and she managed to not die.
Also, if you go to your info page, then click the manage link at the top and then the “info” link you’ll go to a screen where you can change your user info. Near the bottom there’s an option that says “Get message board replies.” If you uncheck it, you’ll quit getting everything from that thread emailed to you, but you also won’t get any replies to your other entries/comments. Isn’t there also a way to freeze replies on an entry? I’m sure someone would carry on the argument elsewhere, but it wouldn’t be clogging your inbox.
Oh my, I remember that thread! I never actually participated in it, but I always thought it was funny because there was a guy named Mr. Ruda Duda.
If they don’t get the joke, they would be simply “shocked”. When one is “shocked—SHOCKED”, he is only feigning shock which in this case would mean he did in fact get the joke.
Imagine what they would do if they heard that I used to use dog biscuits when the oldest was teething. He had this nack of teething four teeth at a time and those stupid teething biscuits just melted all over his face and clothes. The dog biscuits lasted a long time and didn’t make a mess.
Of course the first time he teethed, he was older than three months and he did it on the coffee table. We thought it was cute until the day I looked down and saw the gouges. Had to go wipe the varnish out of his mouth. Forthunately, that was back when ‘distressed’ furniture was in.
He’s nearly thirty, now, and nearly six foot three. It obviously didn’t stunt him. I think waffles are much classier.
Pretending that you’re interested in other people’s babies has just got to take a toll on you eventually.
