Wooden Teethers 101: Choosing the Perfect Chewy Companion for Your Baby.

Teething!!!

Welcome aboard moms and dads!! let’s buckle up!! We are on a teething journey. A milestone, where even the most active, happy and playful baby, can become cranky and clingy. It’s a natural process but it can be different for each baby. Some have milder symptoms while others have difficult ones. Hence, it is important to talk about it, understand the symptoms and learn how we can make this journey soothing for our baby.

Yes, you can just google, but it will offer tons of information, which can be confusing for new parents who are dealing with this new changed irritable mood swings and crankiness. So, allow us to gather it all here for you.

Firstly, we see a change in our baby’s mood. Suddenly they demand being carried everywhere. They seem irritable most of the time and cry at the drop of hat and sometimes don’t sleep well. Don’t worry Parents. What your baby needs is just a caring adult around them while they go through this sometimes painful sometimes irritable teething journey. It can start anywhere around 6 th months of age, but it may vary for each baby, some start sooner and some little later. It’s a process which actually starts even before first tiny pearly whites appear. We might not see their teeth at first, but can feel a bump on the gums.

It all begins with typical changes which you can expect during teething, those are:

⚡️Swollen gums,
⚡️Pain and sensitivity,
⚡️Low-grade fever,
⚡️Drooling,
⚡️Irritability and discomfort,
⚡️Chewing or gnawing on anything and everything,
⚡️Upset stomach
⚡️Change in appetite


The first primary teeth to erupt are Mandibular Central incisors, that is middle of the lower teeth, which typically appear in pairs. And will be followed by another sets of Incisors, canines and molars, altogether 20 primary teeth.

 📌 What can you do to soothe your baby?

Teething can cause discomfort and irritability, but these symptoms do not last long. Few days around the appearance of their 1st teeth are most difficult ones and then baby slowly gets back to feeling better. Generally, they do not even need any medications for this discomfort. But if you feel the need to give any medication, kindly consult a paediatrician first.

Now, let us learn about some soothing techniques which might come handy.

1. One of the very important soothing techniques you can do is, loads of Snuggles
and Cuddles. And Nurse your baby through this difficult period. Nothing can
soothe them better than mother’s and father’s gentle touch.
2. Next thing which will be helpful is getting a teether. A sustainable Wooden
Teether will be a great choice for the natural and safe option for our babies to
chew on.
3. While baby is going through discomfort, a Cold damp cloth can act as a
comforter. It can soothe the pain and discomfort and again it is safe to gnaw.
4. You can also give a gentle massage with your fingertip which can be relaxing for the baby.

📌 How to choose right teethers for your baby?

Nothing can compare to a sustainable and eco-friendly product. Hence, Wooden Teethers are the best choice to benefit not just our baby but also her surroundings. Let me take you through the benefits it offers:

⚡️Natural and Chemical Free: As parents we want to give everything of a best quality to our children. And what else can be a perfect choice than something so natural, non-toxic and sustainable and of a great quality. They are made from wood which can be grown in a managed and renewable forest. Hence, it is not only great for our baby but also for our mother Earth.

⚡️Medicinal Benefits: Wooden teethers are often made from Neem wood or Beech wood. And as we all know; Neem wood has many medicinal properties like Anti-bacterial and Anti-fungal. Similarly, Beech wood also contains multiple medicinal properties. Hence, it is not just a sustainable product but also a product which provides relief during teething phase and also boosts baby’s immune system.

⚡️Developmental Benefits: Chewing on wooden teethers can help with jaw
development. They are made in such a way that gives only a right kind of pressure on the gums without hurting even a bit. Also, the act of grasping and chewing supports the development of fine motor skills in babies.

⚡️Easy to clean: Unlike some other materials, wooden teethers are easy to clean. You can simply wipe them down with damp cloth and let it dry. By selecting wooden teethers over any other material, you are ensuring a hygienic chewing experience for your little one.

⚡️Trendy Designs: Here on Tinycubs, we not just focus on offering best quality wooden teethers but also make sure to provide them in trendy designs and in non-toxic colours.
