My Baby's Favorite Things to Chew On
15
items Teething turned our house into a drool-and-gnaw zone. These are the teethers and chew toys I would hand over when baby is working on sore gums: easy to grip, easy to clean, and gentle on little mouths.
The classic one. Baby could grip the long legs early, and the squeaker made her laugh mid-drool. I wash it with a damp cloth and never submerge it.
Sophie la girafe Fresh Touch Teething Toy
A natural rubber ring that is soft enough to bite and easy to hold. I like that it is simple and has no extra parts to come loose.
HEVEA Kawan Teething Ring Babies
Silicone, one piece, and a good size for a small fist. It goes in the dishwasher and in the diaper bag without any fuss.
Comotomo Silicone Baby Teether, Blue
A banana-shaped teether and first toothbrush in one. Baby could reach the back gums with it, and I stay close while it is in the mouth.
Baby Banana Yellow Toothbrush-Teether, USA
A soft silicone ball with bumps to chew. Easy for little hands to hold and easy to rinse.
Bumkins Silicone Flexible Bacteria Resistant
Natural rubber, no silicone, and the little panda is easy to grip with two hands. A good first teether for the 4 month stage.
HEVEA Natural Rubber Panda Teether
Soft nubs for the front gums and a firmer end for the back ones. Baby could hold it alone, which gave me a few minutes of peace.
NUK Transitional Teether, 6 Months Plus
A simple sage-colored silicone ring that suits any baby and any nursery. Easy to hold, easy to wash, and nothing small to come off.
Silicone Baby Teether Ring, BPA Free
Water-filled and chillable. I would pop it in the fridge for a bit (never the freezer) so it feels cool and soothing on sore gums.
Bright Starts Stay Cool Water-Filled Teethers 3-Pack
A set of water teethers I would keep in the fridge door. The cool, squishy texture is a relief on the fussiest teething afternoons.
Infantino Water Teethers Cooling Relief 3-Pack
Crinkle paper is the sound babies go wild for. Soft, washable, and it doubles as a teether and a sensory toy.
Original Baby Paper Crinkle Teether Toy
Another cold teether for the fridge. It is textured on both sides, which gets right where the gums are sore.
Itzy Ritzy Water-Filled Teethers Set of 3
A second crinkle paper in a soft gray dot. Light, quiet to look at, and loud in the best way when baby squeezes it.
Baby Paper Crinkle Sensory Toy & Teether
The bumpy berry texture is what sore gums want, and the pacifier-style shape means baby can actually keep it in without help. Ours lives in the diaper bag and gets a rinse after every outing.
RaZbaby RaZberry Silicone Teether
Soft silicone with little bristles on top, right where a teething baby wants pressure. It comes with a case, so it can live at the bottom of the diaper bag without collecting lint.
Nuby Silicone Teethe-EEZ Teether
