Silicone teether is a kind of teething toy designed for babies. Most of them are made of silicone rubber, which is safe and non-toxic. It can be used many times and can also help babies massage their gums. In addition, sucking and biting the teether can promote the coordination of the baby’s eyes and hands, thereby promoting the development of intelligence. All-silicone teether toys can also exercise the baby’s chewing ability, allowing the baby to chew food more fully and digest more thoroughly.
Medical research also shows that if the baby is noisy and tired, he can get psychological satisfaction and security by sucking on the pacifier and biting the teether. Teething is suitable for babies from 6 months to 2 years old.
So how should silicone teethers be used?
- Regular replacement
As the child’s age increases, and the teether is worn after being bitten, it needs to be replaced regularly. It is generally recommended to replace the baby every 3 months. Or you can prepare several teethers at the same time. - Avoid freezing
Before using the teether, some parents like to refrigerate the teether and then let the baby bite it, which not only massages the gums, but also has the effect of reducing swelling and astringency. But it is worth noting that it is best to wrap a layer of plastic wrap on the teether when freezing to prevent bacteria in the refrigerator from adhering to the surface of the teether. - Scientific cleaning
Before use, parents must check the instructions and warnings of the product, especially the cleaning and disinfection methods. Generally speaking, silicone can withstand high temperatures and can be cleaned and disinfected with hot water. - If it is damaged, stop using it immediately
A damaged silicone teether may pinch the baby, and the residue may be swallowed by mistake. In order to avoid harm to the baby, parents should carefully check it before each use, and stop using it immediately if the teether is found to be damaged.
