Teething is difficult, both for baby and for the parents. Your once laid back happy baby can turn into an irritable, needy, little one whom is difficult to console. Having good teething toys around can help make this time much more bearable for you both. But with SO MANY teething options out there it can be hard to know where to turn.

Some teething rules to live by:

• Make sure you always inspect teething toys BEFORE your little one starts to chow down. Over time pieces can break loose and become choking hazards. 
• Offer a variety of textures: wood, silicone, cloth, and metal; as well as warm and cold options. This will help provide both tactile stimulation and relief to sore and itchy gums. 
• Having the parent who is holding baby wear a teething necklace ensures there is always something for baby to munch on when their gums are sore. They also serve as excellent distractions to prevent baby from pulling your hair and scratching you during feeding. 
• Teething necklaces should be worn by parents only to protect against the risk of strangulation. NEVER put baby to bed while wearing a necklace or bib. 

Here are some of my favorite teethers, all the brands mentioned below use natural high quality materials are BPA free and have passed all safety regulations.


Otherware:
Made in Canada these teethers were designed by Rae, a mother who sought to create teethers that were aesthetically attractive, natural, and safe.
I have bought Teethers, bracelets, and necklaces from Rae and they are all amazing! Not only will she customize your order if you ask, she bends over backwards to ensure you have a positive experience. Plus all her products are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The colors are true to images posted and the texture of the beads is perfect for the teething babe. Our current favorite is the Hex teether because it can go in the freezer! LOVE, I just cannot say enough good things about her products
An important tool when you have a teething baby is wearing a good teething necklace. Otherware makes my favorite necklaces hands down.  Instead of stringing the beads on a nylon string, they use a stainless steel ball chain. My son LOVES to hold it and munch on the silicone and wooden beads. These necklaces are not only effective, they are beautiful and I proudly wear them even when Luke isn't actively teething.
Otherware's teethers are composed of buttery soft beads made with 100% food-grade silicone or organic untreated maple wood. They are non-toxic, latex, lead, cadmium, mercury, phthalate, BPA & PVC free.
$22-38 CAD (follow on IG @Otherware for frequent sales)

Beyond the Teethers:

-- Ryan and Rose Cutie Clips:
Now that baby is putting EVERYTHING in their mouth, it is important to be able to keep your favorite teethers and pacifiers off the ground. Ryan and Rose Cutie Clips are the perfect solution. Not only are they an adorable fashion accessory, they are the perfect length (just 6-7") to prevent dragging on the ground and reduce the risk of strangulation. The company motto is "Don't wanna lose it, Cutie Clip it." In my house I use Cutie Clips for everything from pacifiers, to teethers, to loveys. I simply attach the item to the cutie clip by slipping it through the ring and then clip the item to their shirt, carrier or chair. I also LOVE that you can get them custom engraved with baby's name, initials, or monogram.
Made from a variety of lead free materials. Available in many different colors, and styles. Perfect for little boys and girls.
