How to choose a teether teether?

The period of teeth germination is one of the most difficult in the child's life. Relieve his suffering will help relatively recent invention - the teether. Most of these devices combine the functions of several things at once.

Externally, such a product is practically no different from an ordinary dummy, which is given to children as a breast replacement. This is where the similarity ends: the teether in the form of a nipple is made more rigid. Its main function is to actively stimulate and scratch aching gums, reducing discomfort. To achieve this goal, such a dummy is equipped with a pronounced relief. It contains bumps, stripes, protrusions.

For the production of one dummy with the function of the teether, a greater amount of material is expended, which is why it costs more. Experts say that the teether is a completely useful acquisition, which is useful to all kids. Another thing is that not all babies like nipples as such. Then you should choose any other teether model.

Teether teethers have their own classification. A situation is possible in which the child does not like or does not fit one specifically taken model. However, this does not always mean that he will not appreciate such a product. Perhaps, parents simply did not understand the selection criteria.

The teeth in the baby’s mouth do not all appear at the same time. Usually they grow gradually, according to the scheme from the mouth to the distant edges of the jaws. Accordingly, there is no universal teether. At each stage, the child needs a special device that would help relieve itching in a particular part of the oral cavity.

Experts say that the beginning of the growth of teeth is an individual characteristic for each infant. Therefore, to give any age framework is impractical. Before the age of 3 months, the teeth do not appear, sometimes the first tooth may erupt half a year later. The task of parents is to follow the moment of its appearance. Only when it appears, you need to buy the first teether pacifier. It should correspond to the task (optimally combing the front part of the jaw).

In the future, the teeth begin to grow closer to the edges of the oral cavity, then the itching decreases. Accordingly, the dummy should be wide enough to reach the opposite edges of the child’s mouth. However, it should have a narrow handle with a limiter. So it will not interfere with the penetration inside, but also will not contribute to too deep swallowing.

Teether teether today is made of a relatively small range of materials: rubber, latex and silicone. However, the rubber could be discarded. Today, few manufacturers prefer such raw materials. It is short-lived and has a sharp unpleasant smell.

Latex teethers are very popular. In their durability, they resemble their rubber counterparts. However, they are characterized by high elasticity, ensuring the safety of the baby and his mouth. These products are harmless to health.

Silicone differs much more durability and durability.. There is no doubt that the purchase will last a long time, it will not be deformed. However, potentially high popularity is hampered by negative factors.Silicone soothers are considered less environmentally friendly.

The modern market for such products is replete with a variety of models of different brands. In the rich choice it is easy to get confused. In some cases, it is easier not to study in detail the characteristics of each individual dummy, but to rely on a trusted manufacturer. This approach is most justified in the case of buying foreign products of famous brands like Dr. Brown's.

Domestic products also enjoy stable popularity, given its availability in stores and relatively low cost. Picky consumers call the quality of such a product doubtful, but most of our fellow citizens do not usually have any complaints.

In recent decades, Chinese products have flooded all domestic markets, and dummies are also concerned.
