Practical Non-Toxic Teethers

by Marcie

Julie Deardorff, an Opinion Columnist for the Chicago Tribune, wrote today on her current situation…finding a good teether for her child. Does one use a plastic polycarbonate teether that has tested positive for bisphenol-A (poses a risk for brain development of fetuses, infants, babies and older children) or does one give him a wooden toy with brightly colored chipped paint?

Hmmmmmm….tough question.

Debra at Debra’s List takes it one step further and suggests Sophie the Giraffe, organic teething biscuits, and an organic (frozen washcloth).

She also suggests this organic teether but I just can’t seem to get my teeth around chewing on wood and honestly I don’t think it would be all that appealing to a baby whose mouth was hurting. But, thats just me.

How about chewies and teethers from sensory therapy stores like the TherapyShoppe.com?

Latex-free mouthing toy is FDA approved-Great for oral exploration, and encouraging jaw and tongue movements.

Scented Chewies
Chewy Tubes

These were all Little Pickel’s favorite things to chew on when he went through his chewing phase…and I mean CHEWING PHASE! He chewed everything so we made sure he had a chewy all the time. We could HEAR him chomping away through the monitor every night. For kids who chew ALL the time they even have Chewy Necklaces and Bracelets. (contain latex)
