Why Choose Wooden Teethers?
There are many reasons to choose wooden teethers over their plastic counterparts for your baby. Wood is a natural material, free from harmful chemicals or BPAs that might be found in plastic teethers.
Wood is also naturally gentle on the mouth, providing smooth sensory stimulation for your little one. Certain woods, including maple wood, also possess natural antibacterial properties. This helps reduce bacterial growth on the teether and keeps it cleaner for longer.
How to Choose the Best Teether?
Selecting the perfect teether for your little one is a breeze when you know what to look for.
The first thing to consider is the material. Always choose non-toxic, safe materials like wood, that are naturally free from harmful chemicals. It's also essential to make sure the teether is large enough not to be swallowed. Every teether should be large enough to minimize this risk, but it's always essential that you check.
Comfort is another thing to keep in mind. Choose a baby teether that's easy for your child to hold, and fits comfortably in their mouth. Look for teethers with added textures for more targeted relief and stimulus for your little one.

How to Clean and Maintain Wooden Teething Rings
First of all, you should avoid soaking your wooden teether in water. The best way to keep your teethers clean is by spraying them with mild, non-toxic detergent, diluted with warm water.
Wipe your teethers clean with a sponge, and then air dry them for about two hours. Avoid drying teethers using heat, as this often dries out the wood, creating cracks or splits on the surface.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
At what age can babies start using wooden teethers?
Several months into their life, you may notice that your child will put literally anything they can get their hands on into their mouths! This usually happens between the ages of 4 to 10 months old. That's the best time to start using wooden teethers for babies.
Can I refrigerate wooden teething rings for added relief?
While refrigerating a wooden teething ring might provide temporary relief for your baby, it's not the safest method. Moisture exposure can cause the wood to warp or crack, which is bad over time. It also poses hygiene concerns as the cold, damp environment of a refrigerator can promote bacterial growth.
How long do wooden teethers last?
Wooden teethers can last up to a year or more depending on how you maintain them. Wood is also a sturdy, natural material. It can withstand the gnawing and chewing of a teething baby, unlike plastic teethers which can crack or break. However, don't be afraid to replace your wooden teether on a regular basis.
