Well, one simple solution is to put the phone on speaker so it's not next to the girl's head. However, as she probably wants her conversations to be more private than that, especially as she grows older, this is probably not a great solution.
There are actually other solutions out there, though they didn't occur to me when I was having my conversations with my friends. A while back, the hubby and I wanted to turn off our long distance and only use the cells, but I didn't want the hot cell against my head every time I wanted to call long distance. So, we got a little box device that hooked our cell phone to our land phone via blue tooth. I can't find the exact model we have, but here are links to three of the ones I found at Amazon:
They work so simply. The one we have simply requires that we plug the phone into it. When we want to use it, we connect the cell to it via blue tooth. Then we pick up the regular phone and dial in a short code before dialing the number we want. I was even able to insert the code in front of the stored phone numbers on the regular phone and have it work perfectly. You can have your cell phone plugged into the charger while you use it so the battery doesn't run down.
However, while I was looking for these devices, I found phones that actually have the blue tooth in them. Best Buy actually has a section for them in their webstore. I haven't tried them, but I'm sure they work largely the same way as the other device. So, if you don't have your land-line anymore or are thinking about cutting your service, there are ways to cut down on your cell to ear time!
