LO is 5.5 months so everything goes immediately into his chompers. I've stopped letting him gnaw on my fingers since I figure he'll be getting teeth soon, but am unsure of what to do with books.

I know it's a developmental thing and part of learning/growing - and we have lots of board books & a few 'indestructible' books that I could let him go to town on. But do I put nicer books up where he can't get at them once he is more mobile and stop him from touching those?

I hate to feel like I'm interrupting access to books in any way shape or form... but I have to draw a line somewhere right?? How do you handle it?
