Teethers

Most babies start teething from 4 to 6 months. You would notice they drool frequently too.

During this time, it is good to get some teethers. I have tried a couple of teethers for my kids and found some that work better.

Go for teethers that are light, easy to wash and sterilize, and closed loops (to prevent parts from dropping out and cause choking!).

The traditional ones are those with water inside and usually kept in fridge to cool it like the ones below:

They are good as it is one piece design and putting in the fridge will cool the water in it, soothing for the babies. But one worry of alot of parents is it might tear and the water in it is consumed by babies.

Another type is those with plushie. We don't fancy it as the plushie would often be soaked with the baby's saliva. We feel it is very unhygenic as bacteria might get trapped in the plushie.

So after experimenting with my eldest, I finally settle down with Pigeon training teether Step 1 and Step 2. These are highly recommended by many mummies and even myself.

We love it because it is entirely closed loop, there is a handle for our little ones to hold on to and we can hook on a teether strap, and most importantly, our little ones used this most frequently compared to the rest. The other types of teethers that we bought were quickly thrown off or rejected. This is also very easy to wash and can be sterilised. After getting it for our little ones, we can see why it is so popular among mummies.
