Collection: Natural Teething Toys | Safe Soothers, Teethers & Co.

The Teething Challenge: Finding Safe Solutions

Every parent knows the telltale signs—the drooling, the fussiness, the constant need to chew on everything in sight. Teething is a significant milestone, but finding natural teething toys that are both effective and safe can be challenging. Many mainstream teethers contain potentially harmful chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and artificial dyes that babies can ingest during extended chewing sessions. With teething lasting anywhere from 4-24 months, the products you choose matter tremendously for your baby's health and comfort.

Why Material Quality Matters for Teethers

Our collection features only the highest-quality materials specifically chosen for their safety and efficacy:

Natural Rubber: Brands like FRIGG create soothers from natural rubber latex harvested sustainably from Hevea trees. These teethers offer gentle flexibility that mimics the natural give of breastfeeding, helping ease the transition between nursing and self-soothing.

Food-Grade Silicone: Mushie's animal-shaped teethers use 100% food-grade silicone that's free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates. This material provides a satisfying resistance for developing gums while being easy to clean and sanitize.

Untreated Wood: Several of our wooden teethers use untreated, sustainably harvested beech and maple, which naturally contain antibacterial properties and provide varied textures for tactile exploration.

Eco-Friendly Composites: Hape's innovative rice-based teethers offer an environmentally-friendly alternative that's biodegradable while still being durable and safe for extended mouthing.

The Teethers We Love

Soothing Soothers & Pacifiers

Our Danish-designed FRIGG pacifiers feature an orthodontic teat shape that supports proper oral development while soothing tender gums. Their butterfly shape leaves room for baby's nose and chin, reducing skin irritation during extended use. Available in gorgeous Scandinavian-inspired colors that complement any nursery aesthetic.

Tactile Teething Toys

Mushie's silicone teethers come in adorable animal shapes with textured surfaces that massage sore gums and emerging teeth. Their easy-grip design promotes independent exploration, supporting your baby's developing motor skills while providing targeted relief where it's needed most.

Multi-Sensory Teethers

Sebra teethers and Hape's eco-friendly teething rings and rattles combine teething relief with gentle sound stimulation. These multifunctional teethers engage multiple senses, helping distract from discomfort while supporting cognitive development through cause-and-effect learning.

How to Pick the Right Teether

Choosing the perfect teether depends on your baby's teething stage and preferences:

Early Teethers (3-6 months): Lightweight, easy-to-grasp options with gentle textures for first signs of teething.

Middle Stage (6-12 months): More textured surfaces to reach back gums where molars are beginning to develop.

Advanced Teethers (12+ months): Varied designs that can reach all areas of the mouth for those final stubborn teeth.

Consider rotating between different materials and shapes to maintain interest and provide different sensory experiences throughout the teething journey.

Natural Relief Made Simple

Beyond providing a safe chewing surface, our natural teething toys can be part of a holistic approach to teething comfort. Many of our silicone teethers can be refrigerated (not frozen) for gentle cooling relief. Pair with supervised baby massage of the jaw area and plenty of cuddles for a well-rounded approach to teething discomfort.

Remember that consistent oral care remains important even during teething – gently wipe gums with a clean, damp cloth after feeding and before bed, and always supervise your little one during teething play to ensure their safety and comfort.
