Coats for a chewer?

Renee said:

does anyone know of any coats that would be better suited than the usual "zip in the middle" coats we see in the stores?

How about coats with toggle buttons - in the worst case he will chew the button but you can at least buy replacements for most brands and they are fairly easy to sew on.

Try the search words "childs coat toggle button" for some mainstream suggestions.

What about using chewelry instead?

If you can find some chewelry that meets his sensory needs and provides him with something to bite down that might work (instead of chewing coats)

Here is a website called Chewigem

I use some myself and it’s really cool!

I hope this helps you and your son!
