Gentle support for little teeth – and big feelings.
When Does Teething Start?
Most babies begin teething sometime between 4 and 7 months. For some, it happens earlier, for others a bit later.
What you’ll often notice are changes in behavior: more drooling, chewing, fussiness – and yes, sometimes, sleepless nights.
How to Know It's Teething
You might see rosy cheeks, swollen gums, or your baby constantly trying to bite on fingers, toys – even your shoulder.
Many babies also become a little more clingy or restless, and may eat or sleep less than usual. Don’t worry – these signs are totally normal during teething.
So… What Really Helps?
🌿 Cooling is Key
A cool teething toy or silicone ring straight from the fridge (never the freezer!) can soothe sore gums naturally. The cold reduces inflammation and offers quick relief.
🛒 Tip: Soft silicone cooling teethers are gentle and safe for baby’s mouth.
✋ Gentle Gum Massage
Sometimes, your touch is the best medicine. Using a clean finger or a soft gauze cloth, gently massage the gums in small circles.
🤱 Comfort Through Connection
A teething baby needs more than just tools – they need you. Holding, cuddling, rocking, or singing can calm them more than anything. Distraction works wonders.
👕 Say Hello to Bibs
The extra drool can lead to skin irritation, so soft, absorbent bibs or neckerchiefs are perfect for keeping your baby dry (and cute).

⚠️ When to See a Doctor
While teething can cause discomfort, it shouldn’t cause a high fever or visible illness. Please speak to a pediatrician if your baby:
🦷⚠️ has a fever above 38°C (100.4°F)
🦷⚠️ refuses to drink for a long time
🦷⚠️ shows signs of infection, rash, or unusual fatigue
❄️ Please Don’t Freeze It
We know it’s tempting – but a frozen teething toy becomes too hard and could hurt your baby’s gums. Just cool it in the fridge. That’s more than enough.
