Over the last four years, between my two little stars, they’ve tried many different teething toys. Non toxic chewing toys may help relieve your little one’s teething pain and other teething symptoms. Below, are 10 of our favourite teething toys for babies and toddlers.

Canadian based teething toys

Loulou Lollipop

Sisters, Angel and Eleanor are the mamas behind Vancouver based kids brand Loulou Lollipop. Besides beautiful swaddles and quilts, they create the cutest teethers ever. From bubble tea, to pups and even french fries, Loulou Lollipop has got you covered. I love the attention to detail/colours in all of their products.

• 100% food grade silicone.
• Stainless clip. Rust-free and saliva resistant.
• Can be chilled for added relief.
• Wash before use.

Bamboobino Baby Teether

Bamboobino is another favourite Vancouver brand of mine, designed by Sharon. I like this teether because I can wet the bunny’s ears and pop right into the freezer, and then give it to Lucas for some cold relief. Or he can chew on the maple ring too (bunny dry).

• Maple rings are certified through CPSC, ASTM and CPSIA standards.
• Bamboo/organic cotton terry is Oeko-Tex (bamboo fiber) and OCIA and USDA certified (organic cotton).
• Printed side is certified organic cotton sateen printed with water based inks.
• Bunny is machine washable.

Munch Mitt Teether

Luna never really gnawed at her hand, but Lucas did and the Munch Mitt Teether definitely came in “handy.” A textured flexible silicone surface provides soothing teething relief. Protects baby’s hands from excess saliva and chewing. We used this with Lucas until he discovered how to remove it.

The Buddy Bib 3-in-1 Bib, Sensory Plush Toy & Pacifier/Teether Holder

Another fun teething bib, but this one happens to be a 3-in-1. That means it’s a bib, sensory toy and paci/teether holder. I liked that the plush crinkle toy can be removed and attached to wrist, stroller belly bar, or carrier. And the teether that’s also attached to the crinkly toy can also be removed and replaced with another teether, or pacifier.  The bib itself is soft, thin and has a waterproof layer. I would have preferred a different kind of material for the bib, not a fan of the velour-ish fabric because babe would get really warm and sweat.

• Soft bib with waterproof layer
• Plush Crinkle Toy with strap – Wear on bib OR remove and attach to wrist, stroller or carrier
• 100% Silicone teether can be removed and replaced with Pacifier!

Teething toys from around the world.

Neckerchew

Both of my kids loved the Neckerchew; the Worlds first chewy dribble bib for teething tots. It’s the perfect duo since some kids drool a ton while they are teething and end up getting a rash if it’s not wiped soon enough. So, the Neckerchew fabric is thick enough that you aren’t having to change it between every drool wipe. And the silicone has some texture for biting.

• Made of super-soft jersey cotton with an absorbent middle layer to lock away moisture.
• Teether made from silicone that will never flake or peel.
• Reversible.
• Machine washable.

MAM Cooler Teether

Both of my kids used this one and it’s lasted through so much chewing, I’m amazed. It’s light and colourful, my kids liked it. They’d find relief when it was either frozen,  or at room temp.

Dr.Brown’s Orthees

Neither of my kids used pacifiers, but we got this Orthees as a gift, and decided, why not? It’s not really a pacifier, but more of a teether. Lucas likes biting on the Orthee a lot.

• Massages sore gums and relieves mouth pressure during teething.
• Ideal for front and back teething, Orthees® are easy for little hands to hold and help the jaw to develop as baby transitions to biting, chewing and speech.
• Freezer safe.
• BPA Free.

Sophie La Girafe

Probably one of the most popular teething toys out there. Sophie The Giraffe was a hit with Luna for most of her teething seasons. Lucas is actually just starting to show interest in biting, nibbling and chewing on Sophie La Girafe lately. So, it’s a great teething toy for babies and toddlers.

• Stimulates 5 senses.
• Easy to grip.
• Soft.
• Made of 100% natural rubber and food-grade paints.

MayApple Baby- Suri Teething Toys, ANCHOR

• Different textures give relief from teething.
• Multiple biting sites.
• Designed to reach both front and back teeth.
• Easy to grip and manipulate.
• Free of plastics, heavy metals, BPA, Phthalates and Nitrosamines.

Nuby koolSoother

These remind me of the old school, traditional teethers that my parents used with me and my siblings. They are colourful, simple and get the job done. The textured surface is perfect for biting during teething periods as it gently massages baby’s gums. Filled with purified distilled water, it soothes and stimulates sore gums safely. Perfect shape and size for little one to grab/hold.

• 3 pack.
• A variety of soft curves encourage your child to find an area that is comfortable, helping soothe their gums.
• Refrigerator safe.
• BPA Free.

OgoSport Balli- Flexible Teether Ball

Lucas loves this one because it has so many functions, I think. If he isn’t gnawing away at it, he’s pulling it in opposite directions, squishing it, putting his arm or leg through it, or throwing it.

• Open ball design helps develop shape exploration, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and teething.
• Made from 100% nontoxic, BPA, PVC and Phthalate free, food Grade silicone.
• Captivating for small hands – tactile sculptural design can be squeezed, squished, stretched, and inverted.
• Bolli is dishwasher and freezer safe.

I actually listed 11 of our favourite teething toys! Some we used for both kids, and others were just used by one or the other. Have you tried any of the teethers from our list? Tell me some of the teethers you’ve bought to give your little one relief during the teething period?

The post 10 Favourite Teething Toys for Babies and Toddlers appeared first on Nina on the Moon.

Our little moon has started teething, which means she is drooling and always putting stuff in her mouth, whether it be her fingers, Sophie, or anything she can get her tiny hands on.  On a typical teething day we can go thru several bibs and toys, which can be a bit of a hastle because some of the bibs aren’t very absorbent and get her clothes wet too. And the toys, well they happen to fall every once in a while, especially when we are out an about, so they get put away since they are dirty.

So when I heard about Cheeky Chomper’s Necherchew I was excited, it offered a practical solution to some of our teething problems.

The Neckerchew is an awesome 2-in-1 product, a drool bib with a teether attached to the bottom! Now I don’t have to worry about our little moon dropping, dirtying or loosing her teethers.

I wondered how Lunita would feel about her Neckerchew, and as soon as I put it on she was all giggles and grabbed the teether right away and put it right into her mouth. Moooove over Sophie, hehehe.

Besides being super cute, the Neckerchew is also very stylish, it comes in a variety of prints and colours. Oh, did I mention that it is reversible? I like that the Neckerchew is not shaped like your typical bib, it’s triangle shaped like a bandana, super fashionable! Our print is “Flutterby” with purple butterflies on one side and a solid pink reverse. The fabric is 100% cotton, soft and super absorbent, Luna can wear one from 10am-5pm and the drool wont soak thru the three layers, which totally impressed me. It also dries really quickly. It’s easy to clean, and after many washes, the Neckerchew is still in great condition!

One of my favorite things about the Neckerchew is the teether sewn onto the bib! What a brilliant idea, a teether that the baby can’t drop, dirty or loose. Awesome, right? The teether is surprisingly soft, pliable and durable. The teether is also made of silicone that doesn’t flake or peel and it’s BPA free, so I feel at ease knowing that my little moon can teeth safely. It has texture that helps baby’s teeth brake thru.

The Neckerchew grows with baby, it is one size with two adjustable snaps and is suitable from 2 months to 2 years. The snaps are strong enough so that Lunita can’t pull it off herself, but easy for an adult.

We are so happy with our Flutterby Neckerchew because Luna can grab, chew and drool without worrying that her teether will fall or her shirt wet. I’ve already added a couple more to our collection, you can pick them up at ToysRus.

What do you think about the Neckerchew?!
