So what do you do with all the baby teeth that Tooth Fairy gathered? Is there a norm as to what to do with them? Do you throw them away or collect them like a serial killer?

@irene: we were just talking about this!! My LO hasnโt started losing them yet, but what do you do??
-
I'm not there yet, but I plan on throwing them away
Or there is this
-
Haha serial killer!
Given that I actually saved LOโs umbilical cord/ naval that fell off for at least a year- canโt remember if I threw it away after coming across it again- I will probably keep a few of his teeth for a while.
-
@Foodnerd81: I don't know!! Truthfully the first two I don't even know where they were (DH got 1 and I got 1, and now we had no idea where we put them). I just got 4 more recently. They are in my jewelry box for now, but I do not think I want to collect a whole box of teeth lol. It's not like I am going to present the teeth to him on his wedding day
@Sams Mom: Oh my GOD that's creepy and cracking me up HAHAHAHHA!!!
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Hahaha, RE serial killer: that's what the main character did in the show "You" on Netflix lol
-
@irene:
it's sooooo creepy!
-
@Sams Mom: The doll should also have finger/toe nail bits, as well as hair coming from trips to the hair salon lol
-
Omg that doll! I would throw them out but my daughter writes notes to the tooth fairy asking to keep them! I think she finds them really interesting. She likes weird medical things in general
-
@Sams Mom: oh. My. God. Iโm going to have nightmares.
-
@irene: that would be serial killer level
@bhbee: @Foodnerd81: I saw it on Facebook over a year ago and I still haven't forgot it
-
@Sams Mom: well now Iโm sharing it with all my friends whose kids are starting to lose their teeth.
-
Throw them away! I would be horrified if I found out my mom had a box of teeth somewhere. Kondo those things, say thank you for your service and toss them out.
@Sams Mom: thatโs going to haunt me.
-
@LadyDi: when DH was at MILs a few months ago with his brothers, they were going through boxes of their old things his mom had saved. The found some of his 36 year old brotherโs baby teeth! (This is what prompted us to start the conversation in our house).
-
@Foodnerd81: my husband calls that the palate cleanser
-
@irene: Well - you learn something new everyday. ๐คฎ Take a picture of the first one and toss. Throw out all others immediately.
-
Toss!
-
@irene: DD has lost a bunch and we throw them away!
-
Who knew when I clicked into this thread that I'd see something that will certainly haunt me for years to come!
I haven't had to think about this yet, but now it's got me thinking. My first instinct is that I'll save the first one and throw out the rest, but...why? What am I going to do with a tooth? I guess I could find the bags of hair from their first haircuts and save them together and then...clone my children?
-
@Sams Mom: why do the eyes scare me more than the teeth?
-
Thank you ladies, you reassured me that throwing them out is ok
@erinbaderin: hahahahahaha!!!
-
@Sams Mom: those are creepy!
DS has his first loose tooth and I was thinking about save/toss. But really what would I be saving them for? After reading this I will toss.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think it's the bulgy eyes behind stretched "eye lids"... They bother me too
-
@irene: I did not confirm but I read somewhere that they contain your child's DNA and could be helpful should the need arise.
I think you only have 1 child but for those with 2 I suggest you keep a few - my 2nd kid lost her tooth and we couldn't find it anywhere!!! She was devastated - luckily I had one of my DS's saved and so I grabbed it and threw it in her bed and then "found it" haha
-
So far I have kept them in the envelopes addressed to the tooth fairy. I don't know why and it creeps me out a bit too, but for some bizarre reason I can't bear to toss them!
-
@Sams Mom: I'm pretty sure I had nightmares about those terrible dolls last night
-
@MamaBear87: I feel a little bad about traumatizing a portion of HB... but I couldn't not share it on the perfect thread.
-
@Sams Mom: maybe we should all make them to keep our kids in line. Behave or the tooth monster will get you
-
Straight to the garbage. Buuut when my parents got married my grandmother gave my mom her saved box of dadโs baby teeth. So, thatโs always an option too.
-
OMG this thread is cracking my up. We're not there yet, but I've thought about this too. I think I'll toss them. I got a Letterfolk little passport type book that keeps track of the date and tooth and such.
I can imagine the field day we'd all have is someone started a post about how their MIL showed up one day with a jar of DH's baby teeth...
-
@BadgerMom: I without a doubt believe my MIL has a jar of my husband's baby teeth (she kept the umbilical clamp, and stub that fell off. Thankfully I never came across his foreskin ๐คฆโโ๏ธ)
-
@MamaBear87: fear tactics might be the only thing that works on my stubborn child... so maybe?
-
@BadgerMom: Thanks for mentioning the Letterfolk passport...I just ordered a couple for my kids!
-
@BadgerMom: I just ordered a pregnancy and baby passport for my friend. Too bad you don't get a commission,
I'm definitely going back to order the tooth one for my son (hopefully I won't lose it before he loses teeth) and the bird watching one (husband's grandma is an avid birdwatcher)
-
@Mamaof2: genius
@mamabolt:
-
@LadyDi: HAHAAAA
-
There is no way I could throw them out! Iโm planning on buying some of these.
-
@Lindsay05: I can't zoom in enough, what are the middle two spots for?
-
@Sams Mom: umbilical cord and lanugo (baby hair).
-
@BadgerMom: Iโve never heard of this letterfolk thing so I looked them up, how cute! I wish I would have known about them sooner!
-
Growing up I had a little stuffed bunny with a sachet and all the teeth stayed in there. My mom kept it and tried to "pass it on" to me.... ahhhhhhh
