9 of the Best Baby Teethers In Australia 2024
Oh sweet babies of ours... is there anything we won't buy for them? Especially in that first year, where we're caught between wanting to play with them all the time and finding toys that will actively amuse them at the same time. Better still if that toy can actually help with something as troublesome as teething! Welcome to your ultimate guide to baby teethers.
What should you be looking for in a baby teether?
Well, just like with any item that your baby might pop into their mouth, quality matters. Opt for teethers crafted from robust materials like silicone, rubber, or wood. After all, babies can be quite enthusiastic in their chewing adventures, so it's crucial to choose a teether that's non-toxic and can withstand plenty of gnawing and chewing. Now, let's dive into the world of baby teethers and explore what's on offer."
- No moisture trapping
You know how bath toys can become mouldy over time? The same thing can happen to things like baby teethers if moisture can become trapped in nooks and crannies. For this reason, you should choose a teether free from areas where moisture can become trapped. Single-piece, hole-free teethers are best for this!
- Free from BPA, lead, cadmium, phthalates, PVC and latex
Yep, if you can't even pronounce some of these chemicals, odds are they don't belong in your baby's mouth! Look for food-grade silicone, rubber, or wood.
What should you be avoiding in baby teethers?
You must avoid baby teethers made of materials like PVC and vinyl. PVC contains chlorine and possibly lead and other heavy metals. It also contains hormone-disrupting phthalates, which are often added to make the material soft and pliable like in rubber ducks and bath toys. Not for baby's mouths!
How should I care for my baby's teether?
Like with anything you put in baby's mouth, such as dummies, bottles, and drinking vessels, it's important to continually sterilise them. Sterilising using hot water and a microwave steriliser at home is acceptable, however, it's a great idea to have a portable steriliser for when you're out and about.
