Teething Troubles: Tips for Choosing the Perfect Teether and Keeping It Clean
Choosing the perfect baby teether can be overwhelming with so many available options.
If your baby is starting to show all the signs of teething, a teething toy is a great way to help alleviate some of the discomfort and pain associated with the teething process. Teething toys provide babies with something safe and appropriate to chew on, which can help soothe their gums and distract them from discomfort. Additionally, teething toys can aid in developing oral motor skills and provide sensory stimulation for babies during this stage of their development.
How can you tell when your baby is teething?
You can tell when your baby is teething if they are drooling more than usual, are unusually irritable or fussy, have swollen or tender gums, or are trying to chew on everything they can get their hands on. Some babies might also refuse to eat or have trouble sleeping when they are teething.
You can start using a teething toy as soon as you notice the signs of teething in your baby, typically around 3 to 7 months of age. It's important to select a teething toy that is specifically designed for babies and is safety & quality tested and made from safe materials for them to chew on. Always follow the included safety guidelines for care, cleaning and use, and choose a teething toy for the appropriate age range of your baby.
What type of teether should you buy?
When selecting your teether one important consideration is the material of the teether. Silicone teethers are popular for their durability and safety. Silicone is free from harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, making it a safe choice for your baby, and the ideal choice for our new teether design.
When we developed our new Bubba Koala Silicone teether, we explored many options and decided to craft our teether from LFGB approved non toxic food grade silicone. We selected LFGB food safe silicone for it's premium quality, strength and durability and rigorous testing standards to be sure it is safe for little mouths.
Washing and care was another important factor in our design. Our unique two-piece teether design comes apart for easy washing. This design makes it easy to keep the teether clean and free from any trapped residue and to ensure no nasties are breeding inside.
Lastly, we wanted a cute design, Australia’s favourite Aussie animal - the Koala - was an obvious choice, and thus our cute Bubba Koala shape teether was born. We love our cheeky Koala teether and know your bub will too. Not only will our koala-shaped teether provide relief for sore gums but also adds a touch of charm to your baby's nursery decor. The large flat ears provide a smooth shape and easy grip for little hands, while the smooth silicone texture helps to soothe sore gums.
The new koala-shaped teether from Bubba Blue is designed to prioritise safety and quality and to make teething more bearable for your little one. Bubba Blue teethers are tested to Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS ISO 8124 and make the ideal first teething toy.
