Teething rings that are not toxic



So, there are a lot of teething tools out there made by hundreds if not thousands of companies. I started doing research on teething rings that were not filled with anything weird or made soft by any weird chemicals. I was really excited to find not only teething rings but teething toys that would do the trick, weren't too expensive, and were non-toxic. My favorites were:
Sophie the giraffe (made of all natural rubber in France and hand painted with non-toxic, water-based pigment)
Nattursutten apple and fish-shaped teething rings (filled with ultra-sterilized water and not softened with pthalates) sold on zoebonline.com
Cloth, organic cotton teething doll (pour chilled water over it's knots and baby can gnaw on them) by Peppa and sold on the novatoys website
Cool-it soother by Vulli sold on zoebonline.com
My baby girl has gotten through her first two teeth cutting using these for comfort along with the Hyland homeopathic teething tabs.
I also highly recommend getting Born-Free sippy cups for 6months plus and keeping them chilled. When my girl was cutting her first tooth it helped ease the pain so she could calm down after a very painful spell at night and get on with her usual nursing.
love them all!!!!!
