Babies tend to put everything in their mouth. They bite, chew, and munch on items and this is for a great reason – babies do get some comfort and relief by chewing on objects when their teeth are growing in. According to experts, tender gums tend to feel better when a light pressure is applied.
Parents shouldn't be surprised when they see their babies biting on blankets, stuffed toys, keys, edges of baby books, their fingers, etc. Because they like to chew and teeth on whatever they can find, toys manufacturers have designed teethers for babies that are a safe alternative for babies to teeth on.
Just like every person is different, every baby is different as well. This means the types of teether that one baby like, may not be interesting for another. But there is one type of teether that most babies (and parents too) tend to like a lot – the wood teethers for baby.
Wood is Naturally Antibacterial
As your baby starts to put everything he/she comes across in his/her mouth, you will probably get worried about germs and your kid getting sick. One of the greatest things about wood teethers for baby is that bacteria can not survive on the wooden surface, so there is one less thing to worry about.
Non-Toxic and Chemical Free
Considering all the chemicals, plastic and ingredients available on the market, it can be difficult to figure out what is safe for a teething baby. By choosing a wood teether you will be eliminating the possibility of exposure to any harmful leads, BPA, or metals.
No Mould
Unlike squeaky toys, wood teethers have no 'insides' to trap water. With proper care, and ensuring that the teether is left to dry completely after each wash and/or use, your wood teether won't grow mould.
Easy to Maintain
In order to maintain your wood teether, you will need to wash it with baby bottle soap, rinse off with water, tap it dry with a dry towel, and leave it to dry in open space.
Environmentally Friendly
As a conscious parent, while raising your baby you must think about the earth and the state in which you leave it for your children. Wood teethers are biodegradable, which means they leave no harm to the ecosystems or environment. You can encourage your baby to enjoy his/her teething stage while also keeping Mother Earth on the mind!
