Hi All, there are so many different types of teethers...what do you gals suggest is the best to get for babies..

Some of them look far too thick to be able to fit in a little one's mouth...I am having a hard time trying to find one that will be useful.
Any suggestions??
Thanks.

Teethers
Honestly my parents didnt even get a teether for my little sister They used a cold wash cloth that she liked alot. Its soft cold and can fit in all mouths. Its easy because it can work for all kids.

The best teether I bought was a little .Dora blanket from .Walmart. The corners were soft rubber for teething. My little girl has never been too interested in other teethers so that blanket & frozen washclothes work for us!

Hey there

I have worked with infants in the past and have had some scary results from teethers.. YES they are great! We just put a damp 'white' (so ink doesn't leaK) cloth in a baggy in the freezer when the baby needed it we would monitor them with it. sometimes we would keep them in the fridge. CAREFUL to make sure that the cloth hasn't been washed in chemicals IE laundry soap can be dangerious Same with dryer sheets. BABIES DO NOT know when to drop the teether and it can lead to frost bite in their mouth (gums, lips and tongue). Another thing is WATCH for chemicals in teethers they can be dangerious recently there were some recalls.. GOOD LUCCK

There are all different kinds of teethers that are available. Most of the teethers that are available today are filled with water and not harsh chemicals. I have several teethers that are all filled with water and two of them need to be refrigerated. But there is just one that my daughter likes to use. It's a "first years brand"....its not filled with anything which is good. Its a teether that introduces brushing and my daughter loves that. You can find in Kmart and Walmart stores.
