Baby Teething Toys and Pacifiers
Pacifiers and baby teething toys can comfort your little one through their early months. A pacifier helps keep your baby calm and happy, helping them relax when out and about in new environments. Baby teething toys can bring relief for little ones when their first teeth start making an appearance, which can feel uncomfortable and sore. It gives your baby something to chew on to ease their discomfort, and some baby teething toys can be chilled in the fridge for extra relief.

When to start using teething toys
Most babies begin teething around 4-6 months old. Typically, the two bottom front teeth are the first to break through, followed by the four puppet teeth. However, this can vary. Genetics play a big part in teething, so some babies can start teething earlier or later than this window.
When a baby starts teething, you may notice their gums look red and sore; they have flushed cheeks, dribbling more, gnawing and chewing on things, and struggle to settle. This is where baby teething toys can help.
By providing a safe, clean chewing surface, teething toys help relieve sore gums. You can put teething gel on these toys for further soothing should your baby need it, though you should always consult a pharmacist before trying this. You can also put baby teething toys in the fridge to provide cooling relief.
