Teething Toys

This is so subjective to the individual baby, what teeth they are working on, and what their level of pain is. I went with a few different teething toys that had high level of reviews on Amazon and were not crazy expensive.


Resources Used:
Amazon
My (and my husband's) parents


What I have tried (so far):
1. Baby Elefun
This actually had a perfect rating on Amazon which is rare. It has a variety of different nubbins for baby's gums and you can stick it in the freezer if necessary. What I liked is that it is in a doughnut shape, giving baby hands an easy grip. It is also perfect for the baby links to attach to if you have a baby that enjoys throwing things. This, so far, has been our favorite teething toy other than frozen washcloths.

2. Comotomo Silicone Baby Teether
This is our second favorite teething toy. It also has a ring loop so you can attach it to baby's stroller and not have to worry about it getting lost when baby inevitably throws it. It is slightly smaller but similarly shaped to our fingers, as well, which is a plus especially since my kid has preferred chewing on our fingers while teething. 

3. Nuby Ice Gel Teether Keys
These have not been that great. They're clunky so they're difficult for little hands to hold. That being said, the gel does freeze and feels good on little gums.

4. Very Hungry Caterpillar Gel Soother 
I stumbled across this at a Home Goods and it was a lucky find. It also has the gel inside but is much smaller and easier for our little guy to hold which is a huge plus. Downside is one of our dogs (still a bit of a puppy himself) also thought it was a great chew toy. I haven't purchased a replacement yet, on Amazon, because it's way more expensive online than the price I originally purchased it for. 

5. Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder
I will come back to this one when I post about introductions to solids, but this works as a teething toy too. You can put cold or frozen fruit in it (bananas have been a hit using this). It soothes their gums AND they are trying solids - win-win!
