Teething 101: A Guide to Safe Silicone Teethers

Teething can start as early as 3 months and continue well into toddlerhood. Here's how Nestwell Baby's silicone teethers can help at each stage — and how to care for them properly.

3 Months+: Early Teething

Our Silicone Phone Press Toy combines varied textures with a soothing design for early sore gums, and includes a matching pacifier clip.

6 Months+: Active Teething

The Bunny Stacking Teething Rings double as a Montessori-style stacking toy, while the 2-in-1 Koala Teether is designed to transition smoothly into your toddler's first toothbrush.

Oral Care from Day One

Even before teeth appear, our Baby Finger Toothbrush helps you build a gum-cleaning routine — safe from 0 months.

Caring for Silicone Teethers

Most of our teethers can be hand washed or cleaned on the top rack of a dishwasher. Some benefit from sterilizing in boiling water before first use — always check the specific product's care instructions, as cleaning steps vary slightly by item.

Safety First

All Nestwell Baby teethers are made from 100% food-grade platinum silicone, free from BPA, PVC, PFAS, phthalates, lead and latex. Always supervise your child during use and inspect toys before each use, discarding at the first sign of damage or wear.
