Why you should use baby teethers for your infant?

 

Teething is natural, we all know that; but parents can get quite anxious when their baby starts teething as it can be quite frustrating to both. However, using a good teether goes a long way in bringing relief to the infant when it is teething. Here is why baby teethers are important and beneficial when the infant is going through this phase. Also, there are many brands in India that are easily available online making it easy to choose a good one. 

Teethers give immense relief to the babies when they are teething as they are toys designed in a way for infants to put them in their mouth when new teeth are developing. And, since gums become tender when new teeth develop, babies feel better when light pressure is applied on them.

Helps relieve pain

Did you know that around 15 percent babies go through major pain when they are teething? Add to that, the discomfort the baby feels is frustrating too. From fever, to red sores, to a dip in appetite, to sleep disturbance, and even diarrhoea, the infant experiences it all. Hence, teethers come in handy as they are designed to bring relief from this very pain and discomfort. As babies want to put everything in their mouth and chew on it to give them relief from the pain, teethers are the best option. As the infant chews on it and applies pressure, they start feeling better reducing the discomfort considerably. 

Baby teethers help in child development as well. How, you may wonder…but remember that infants like to put everything in their mouth when they are teething. So, stuffed toys, baby books, blankets, keys, bracelets, necklaces, even parents’ fingers go in their mouths to chew on. Besides giving them comfort, teethers also encourage the infants to move their tongues inside their mouth, which in turn makes them aware of their mouth. Hence the foundations for learning speech are laid this way as the baby starts to babble trying to utter their first words. 

With a wide range available today, choosing the right baby teether is quite easy and simple. Parents can pick something from a plethora of options available online as well in India. Safety comes first and choosing a BPA-free teether or better still, a wooden one, as it is made out of natural material and hence very safe. All parents have to do is be cautious, look for one that easily fits into the infant’s mouth and is comfortable when chewing on it. So, choose well, offer the baby a teether and see it relaxed and comfortable during the teething phase, making you comfortable as well.
