Best teether?

A mother came to me last week with her child, who had recently begun teething. We were chatting about ways to relieve her child's discomfort and the question arose:

"Is there any specific teether you can recommend?"

My new favorite gnaw-buddies are Chewbeads. They are soft and gentle on babies gums, unlike some hard teethers I've seen, which I feel only work to inflame baby's gums. Chewbeads are made of 100% silicone, and feel similar to pacifiers and nipples. They are dishwasher safe and BPA, PVC and lead free!

The brilliance of these teethers is the design. Created as jewelry for mom, these come in strands of varying lengths, with multiple colors and styles to choose from. All necklaces have a break-away clasp for added safety.

Now the teether is one less thing you need to remember to add to your diaper bag. Just toss on a color that compliments your outfit and both you and baby will reap the rewards all day!
