Buy A Teether Online

A baby teether is a small yet essential baby item. Once a baby hits the teething stage, they’re a sure fire tool to fall back on. Teethers often help babies cope better when teeth are starting to appear and most of all, bring momentary relief to what can be a painful process in a baby’s early life.

Teether

A teether is generally a small, semi-rigid toy that is designed to allow babies to chew on rigorously, whilst they’re cutting new teeth. When a child hits the teething stage, they’re driven by a powerful need to gnaw and chew on anything they can get their hands on.

Baby teethers are specifically designed for just such a purpose and few parents would claim that they don’t bring some relief to their young ones. If ever you’ve experienced teething as an adult, you’d know exactly how a baby must feel.

Many of us cut wisdom teeth in our late teens – I had a couple appear in my early twenties. Neither experience was pleasant and had I been able to get away with it, I’d have chewed a baby teether into small pieces.

My own children used teethers as and when they needed them and they definitely brought them a measure of relief from the persistent cycle of chew/pain/gnaw/pain/chew. Of course some babies experience little or no discomfort when teething but they tend to be the lucky ones.

Very few parents have missed out on the long nights, walking the floor, comforting a teething, dribbling and altogether miserable baby. Baby teethers can and do help and are thoroughly recommended as a useful tool to help combat the teething miseries.

NB: Make sure that all teethers, teether pacifiers and related toys are Phthalates and BPA free. They have been deemed as toxic and are now banned by the FDA (US) and ECSC in the UK and the EU. All teether toys found here will meet the above standards.

Vulli

The Vulli name is synonymous with Sophie Giraffe, one of the most popular and bestselling teethers on the market.

It’s a giraffe, manufactured from 100% natural rubber and food paint and its design and shape allows for lots of different places for baby to chew on.

They’re a hugely popular teether, thousands are sold around the US and the UK and parents that have already bought them always give them a resounding thumbs up.

Along with Sophie, Vulli also market and sell several other extremely popular teethers for babies.

The Razbaby teether is actually a teether pacifier and is another of the most popular teethers. It can be placed in a freezer to further help cool a baby’s gums and it's also non-toxic.

There are other versions of this well-liked teether now available but the best seller remains the original design.

A teething ring does exactly the same job as other teethers. Circular in shape, often with cooling liquids/gels, most can be popped in the freezer to aid pain relief.

The lead seller is the Vulli Flavoured Vanilla Ring teether. Vulli has a solid reputation and it’s hardly surprising to find that the biggest selling ring version belongs to their label.

Next up is the Natursutten BPA-Free Chill-It Teether. Another great toy, designed like a fish, it’s a great shape for gasping little fingers, and can be chilled to help reduce teething pain.

The following teethers are based upon a similar design – interconnection little pockets, filled with FDA approved gels or sterilized water.

All can be placed in a freezer and cooled, before being given to your baby.

A wooden teether is another form of baby teether, and the emphasis is on the 'all natural’ aspect.

The best selling is the Waldorf Maple Natural Teething Ring. As its name suggests, it’s manufactured from 100% non-toxic Maplewood.

It’s a USA handmade product and as it’s completely circular, the need for glue is removed.

There are several other wooden teethers available and all are safe for your baby and made from natural materials.

There are quite a few combination teethers available, the most popular being the aforementioned Razbaby.

That still leaves quite a few to choose from and a good one to start with is the First Years Soothie. This one is also made from medical-grade silicone and is free of toxic materials.

The others follow a similar theme and design, though not all are manufactured from medical silicon.

Those that aren’t are BPA and phthalates free and completely safe for your baby to suck and chew on.

One are two are specifically aimed at babies that are a little older, so do check the age-range before purchase.

As teethers go, teether toys can be a little more expensive. However, they are more than just a teether and can further engage and stimulate your baby.

Hey tend to be more colourful, more interesting overall and with additional texturing, they’re a great multi-purpose buy.

There’s a wide range of designs, from the Sassy Butterfly Teether to the rather popular teether ball.

Some incorporate rattles, as well as the cooling facility found with the more regular teethers.

One or two even provide your baby with a mini mouth massage, by way of a vibrating whenever they are chewed upon.
