Best Baby Teethers to Combat Teething Troubles

Has your baby reached the teething stage? Are there a lot more tears and drool in your house than usual? Teething isn’t a pleasant experience for babies or parents. That’s why many of us look for teething hacks to help ease our baby’s discomfort. One of the best-recommended techniques for combatting teething pain is using a baby teether. 

The best baby teethers for your little ones will not only soothe their tender gums but keep them calm and happy. Yet, how can you tell which teethers are best? And do these baby toys offer benefits to our babies?

Baby Teethers: Why Your Baby Will Love These Toys

One of the main reasons babies love baby teethers so much is because they provide relief from some of the painful symptoms that teething brings. Your child will more than likely have swollen gums, a low-grade fever, and plenty of drool. Although each baby experiences different symptoms, the best baby teethers act as pain relief by doing one thing: providing counter-pressure. 

As your baby's teeth begin to break through the gum line, chewing or biting down on a teether applies light pressure to the gums and eases any pain they are feeling. Some parents choose to chill baby teether toys in the refrigerator to provide a cooling sensation on their baby’s tender gums. 

But, the top baby teethers on the market can do so much more than this. At this stage of your baby’s development, they explore more with their mouth. That’s why you may notice them chewing on their favourite blanket a lot. All that mouthing gives your babe an awareness of their mouth and tongue - and could help them hit language skill milestones.

Experts Warn Against These Top Teether Features

Baby teethers come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. The best baby teethers are made with rubber, wood, or silicone. It can be hard to know which baby teethers are safest for your child when shopping around. 

Medical experts have been sharing their recommendations for many years. Here are a few of the baby teether features that must be avoided at all costs: 

• Avoid baby teethers that are not BPA-free: When it comes to materials, always make sure that the teething toy you buy is BPA-free. Any materials that contain BPAs are considered unsafe and toxic for young children. 
• Avoid amber teething necklaces: Many claim that amber teething necklaces are suitable for teething babies. But, teething necklaces can be a choking hazard. 
• Avoid baby teethers filled with liquid or batteries: Top baby teethers will never be made with liquid or batteries. If your baby bit down on a liquid-filled teether, it could burst and expose your child to a hazardous liquid. Similarly, batteries can leak or pose a choking hazard. 
• Avoid a teether that is too small: A baby teether should be big enough so that your baby can comfortably fit their hand and mouth around it. If it is too small, your child may accidentally swallow it or choke on it. 

As with all baby products, it is good to keep safety considerations in mind when searching for the best baby teethers to soothe your little one’s teething troubles. Here at Luca Elle Boutique, we believe in providing parents with baby products that are safe and stylish. After all, your little one deserves the best of the best!
