Teethers

Teething Fun

Most babies cut their first tooth at around six months, though some show signs from three months and a few arrive later. Early signs include more dribbling, chewing on fists and toys, flushed cheeks and rubbing the gums. A teether gives a safe outlet for that urge to chew.

A teething glove fastens around the hand, so it stays put and lets a young baby chew on the silicone fingertips before they can grasp a toy. A handheld teether is for babies who can hold and direct an object themselves, usually from around five or six months.

Yes. LFGB testing checks that the material does not transfer taste, smell or unwanted substances into food or saliva, which is exactly what matters for something a baby mouths for hours.

Follow the instructions supplied with your product. Cleaning methods differ between silicone, wood and fabric parts, so use a dishwasher, steriliser or boiling water only where the instructions for that exact item allow it. Inspect the teether before each use and stop using it if it is damaged.

The Koda Koala Teething Pair, our koala teething mitten with a remote-shaped teether, was named Best Teething Mitten in the Women's Health UK 2025 awards.
