Silicone teether is a kind of molar toy specially designed for babies. Most of them are made of silicone rubber. Silicone is safe and non-toxic. It can be used many times, and it can also help the baby to massage the gums. In addition, the actions of sucking and chewing gum can promote the coordination of the baby’s eyes and hands, thereby promoting the development of intelligence. All-silicone teether toys can also exercise the baby’s chewing ability, allowing the baby to chew food more fully and digest more thoroughly.
Medical research has also shown that if babies are noisy or tired, they can get psychological satisfaction and security by sucking on a pacifier and chewing gum. Teether is suitable for the teething stage of the baby from 6 months to 2 years old.
So how should silicone teether be used?
1. Regular replacement
As the child gets older and the teether wears out after being bitten, it needs to be replaced regularly. It is generally recommended to replace the teether every 3 months. Or keep several gutta-perchas for use at the same time.
2. Avoid freezing
Before using gutta-percha, some parents like to bite the gutta-percha after refrigerating it, which not only massages the gums, but also reduces swelling and astringent. But it is worth noting that it is best to wrap a layer of plastic wrap on the teether when freezing to prevent bacteria in the refrigerator from adhering to the surface of the teether.
3. Scientific cleaning
Before use, parents must check the product instructions and warnings and other information, especially the cleaning and disinfection methods. Generally speaking, silica gel can withstand high temperatures and can be cleaned and disinfected with hot water.
4. If it is damaged, stop using it immediately
Broken teether may pinch the baby, and the residue may be swallowed by mistake. In order to avoid harm to the baby, parents should check carefully before each use, and stop using the teether as soon as they are found to be damaged.
Use teether with different functions for your baby at different times. For example, at 3-6 months, use “soothing” pacifier teether; after six months, use food supplement teether; after more than one year old, use molar teether.
