10 best baby teething toys for 2019


Starting with the facts, all babies are going to teethe, although the time it takes for their teeth to start peering through depends on the child.

We can’t remember much about the process ourselves, but it’s our guess that having a tooth make its way through your brand new gums is rather painful.

It’s often very wet (drool) and as a parent, it’s not the easiest thing to stand by and watch your little one in pain, especially if teething makes them poorly.

Temperatures, rashes and other symptoms can be looked after with over the counter medicines – but blindingly itchy gums, not so much.

If your little one has everything but the kitchen sink in their mouth in an attempt to relieve themselves of the discomfort – we’ve rounded up some of the best teething toys around that are sure to help them out.
