Baby teethers buyers guide

The first teeth that grow make the baby suffer and the baby teether was designed to relieve it. It helps him to massage his gums, while stimulating the growth and thus the breakthrough of the tooth. Nutrident offers the best models of baby teethers available on the market.

What are the advantages of the baby teether?

The baby teether helps the baby relieve the pain of teething. The pain comes from the mechanical effect that occurs in the jaw, along with the opening of the gum to let the tooth through.

The ring is designed to massage the gum, but also to stimulate the breakthrough and help the tooth emerge. Once the gum is pierced, the tooth can grow freely and the suffering ends.

The ring is made of a soft, chewable material that is safe for human health. It does not release chemicals and is not likely to shred, so children cannot swallow pieces of it, let alone choke on it.

On the other hand, the baby teether is a good tool for the child to develop his prehension and gesture coordination skills. The icing on the cake, the shapes and colors of the ring awaken his interest and his senses.

There are no contraindications to using a baby teether. However, if it does not provide sufficient relief, a pain-relieving gel may also be needed.

What do the baby teethers look like?

The baby teether can be made of silicone, natural rubber or organic wood. Models come in a variety of shapes – pacifier, rattle or mitt – so you can choose the most appropriate model based on your child's age, mouth size and ability to hold objects.

Models that can be refrigerated are more effective, as the cold has an anesthetic effect. It is also a good idea for them to have different textures – pimples, ridges and various reliefs – which allow the child to choose the most efficient one according to the progress of the tooth.

The different models of baby teethers

Sophie the giraffe baby teether So'Pure

The eternal Sophie giraffe is available as a baby teether. Composed of two rings of different textures (ridges and rounded pimples), it is made of natural rubber and is very soft and pleasant to the touch. His coloring uses products that have no impact on health.

It is easy to hold and comes in two versions, with an extra soft one. In terms of design, it's a real eye-catcher with the inimitable giraffe that makes all the kids fall in love.

Tinabless teething trees

Tinabless teething trees are the most original of the rings. Their design is neat and their colors attractive. Made of a very soft silicone, they are non-toxic and easy to grab by the trunk, regardless of the child's age.

The trees come with a small strap to secure them so that the child does not drop them.

Nûby key teething rattle

Nûby proposes a series of three keys mounted on a ring. The keys are of different colors, shapes and textures, which also make it an educational toy. Easy to hold, the Nûby teething key rattle contains a non-toxic PûrIce gel that keeps the cold in. You store the rattle in the refrigerator and it stays fresh for an hour, which helps relieve the gums.

This ring is not recommended for babies under 6 months of age because it is too big for a small mouth.

Mam baby teether

Mam is another baby teether to keep in the refrigerator. Its form is simpler, but also more judicious. The three-pronged tip around the ring is long enough to reach the back of the mouth to relieve the pressure of premolars and molars.

Mam is more recommended for babies who are big enough, because the branches are wide enough, but it corresponds well to the need for the growth of the bottom teeth.

On the other hand, the water in the ring remains cold for less time than the frost on Nûby's keys.

Mouthie Mitten baby teething mitt

The Mouthie Mitten mitt complements the ring solutions by offering another shape that prevents children from putting their fingers directly into their mouths. The shape of the mitt is well studied and its small pimples ensure effectively their function of massage.

The mittens are made of cotton and food-grade silicone and you can run them through the washing machine to make sure they are clean.
