Teethers & rattles

Baby teethers are specially designed toys or objects that babies can chew on to soothe their sore gums during teething.

The best teething toys are made from safe, non-toxic materials that provide relief through pressure and chewing. Soft silicone teethers, rubber teethers, and textured toys are popular. Some parents prefer cold teethers while others prefer room-temperature options.

Sometime between four to seven months, you’ll notice your baby drooling, being unusually cranky and wanting to bite down on everything in sight. That’s those new teeth coming in! Teething can be an exciting time, since it means your baby might be ready for solid foods and chewing—but it does come with some discomfort. The best teethers give little ones something besides their fingers (or yours) to chomp on, and many of them can be chilled to help soothe sore gums too.

Yes, teethers with different textures and shapes can stimulate a baby’s senses and promote their sensory development as they explore and interact with the teether.

Yes, there are teethers designed to target the back molars. These often have a larger surface area and different textures to help alleviate discomfort in that area.

Safety is important when it comes to your little one. You’ll probably wonder if the teether is made from non-toxic materials. Is it BPA-free, phthalate-free or made with food-grade silicone? These are things that make sure it’s safe for your baby to chew on and drool all over.

Teething can be tough (on both of you!). Some teethers come with textured surfaces that babies seem to love for rubbing against their gums, and others can even be chilled to give extra relief. If your baby’s eating solids, cold fruits or veggies (like chilled cucumber) can feel great on sore gums. Sometimes distraction helps too—extra cuddles or playtime can make them forget the discomfort, even just for a bit! Read more for teething tips from real parents and experts.

Having 2-3 teethers in different styles and textures gives you options to find what works best for your baby. Having extras allows you to refrigerate one while using another. Quality matters more than quantity—a few good teethers is better than many cheap ones.

Yes, absolutely. Teethers are practical items most parents need and appreciate receiving. Register for a variety of styles (soft, textured, silicone) so you can experiment to find what works best for your baby. Teethers make great gifts at various price points.
