The baby’s first toy is the teether. When the baby starts to grow teeth, the teether can relieve the pain of the gums. When you want to bite something, only teether can bring sweet relief. In addition, chewing gum feels good because it can ensure back pressure on the growing teeth.
Teethers come in different materials, such as wood, BPA-free plastic, natural rubber, and silicone. Among them, wooden teething teether is the most popular chewing for young children. However, the teether will fall on the ground and stick to dust. It is recommended to disinfect all toys that enter the mouth of babies under 6 months. After 6 months, washing with warm soapy water is sufficient-most babies start to grow teeth around 4-6 months and do not need to be disinfected at this time.

 

How do you treat wooden teethers ?

Use a separate clean wet sponge and add some antibacterial liquid detergent to clean the wooden teether. Do not soak wooden teether in water or disinfect it with hot water or even a UV sterilizer, because the wood may swell and cause it to swell and crack.
Rinse the teething teether immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, dry dish towel.

 

How long can I use the wooden teether?

With proper care and conditioning, your wooden teether can last a long time!

Please pay attention to regularly check the teether for any damage-as your baby's teeth grow, the toy may show some cracks and scratches. If this happens, replace the toy immediately.

 

Can I freeze my wooden teethers?

No. Unfortunately, freezing wood may cause it to swell, which can lead to swelling. But Melikey silicone teethers can be frozen.  You can find them by browsing our website.
