Teething Toys
Teething is no joke. Many babies begin teething between four and seven months, and you may even notice their first two bottom teeth starting to push through. While it’s an exciting milestone, it can also be uncomfortable for your baby and stressful for you.
Nuby’s thoughtfully designed teething toys help soothe sore gums, support healthy oral development, and redirect the natural urge to bite and chew. With a variety of shapes, textures, and materials, our baby teethers provide relief while keeping little hands engaged.
Our non toxic teething toys offer a safe, hygienic chewing surface when your baby needs comfort most. Soft silicone teethers are gentle on emerging teeth yet durable enough to withstand constant chewing. Teething mittens help massage tender gums while preventing babies from biting their hands.
For additional comfort, classic pacifiers can help calm fussy moments between feedings. Our gel filled IcyBite cooling teethers can be placed in the refrigerator to provide cool relief for swollen gums while supporting early sensory development.
The Nuby Difference: Comfort Through Every Stage
At Nuby, we understand that teething can be one of the most challenging stages for babies and parents alike. That’s why our teethers are designed to deliver comfort, safety, and relief through every stage of development.
From easy to hold teething sticks and rings for early droolers to cooling designs for emerging molars, each product is thoughtfully crafted for little mouths and growing hands. With options ranging from sensory toys to rattle toys, Nuby offers comfort at every stage.
We select materials that meet or exceed global safety standards, including FDA, CPSC, CPSIA, and European safety requirements. Smooth edges, durable construction, and age appropriate shapes ensure comfort you can trust.
How do I know if my baby needs a teether?
When your baby is two or three months old, you may notice some signs of teething. Common teething signs include:
- Drooling more than usual.
- Biting and chewing anything and everything, even their own fingers.
- Grumpy and distressed mood.
- Sore and red gums.
- Loss of appetite.
- Rubbing their ears.
Teething can be an uncomfortable time for parents and babies, which is where teething toys come in to help. If you're worried your baby is struggling with their newly developing teeth, teething toys can help soothe their sore gums, allow them to chew on something safely and encourage oral health.
When should I replace a baby teether?
Teethers experience natural wear over time, especially during active chewing phases. Always inspect before use.
Replace immediately if you notice:
- Cracks or tears
- Discoloration
- Changes in texture
- Unusual odor
Damaged teethers should never be used, as loose or broken pieces could pose a choking hazard. Rotating between several clean teethers helps extend product life.
How many teethers does a baby need?
How many teethers you buy will depend on your child's needs and preferences. Every child is different, and many like to have teethers of varying shapes, colors, and textures for when they're in the car, stroller, or any room in the house. While silicone teethers are the most popular, some children may prefer the hardness of wood. We'd recommend getting one of each to know which your child likes best. We'd also suggest choosing our IcyBite cooling teethers for warmer days, which can go in the fridge for cool relief on sore gums.
What are the benefits of teethers?
For some babies and parents, teething toys are essential for providing a safe and clean chewable item that offers comfort and relief. Other benefits you can expect from a teether include:
- Diverting the biting phase.
- Aids natural jaw development.
- Soothes sore teeth and gums.
- Prepares your baby for solid food.
- Keeps babies engaged and mentally stimulated.
- Improves hand-eye coordination and motor skills.
- Provides comfort.
- Fun to play with.
- Makes your child happier.
How do I clean baby teethers?
Most silicone teethers can be washed with warm, soapy water or placed on the top rack of the dishwasher. Cooling or gel-filled designs should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid boiling or freezing unless specified in the product instructions.
