Compare which teething toys really help babies when they are teething and need to chew.
When your baby starts to teethe, it can be cery painful and unrelenting. Your baby will more than likely be drooling like a faucet, irritable and unhappy, possible pulling on their ears or rubbing their cheeks; they are just utterly miserable. These symptoms do not apply to every baby. Some don't show any signs up until the first tooth is noticed. Other babies can suffer for months just to have one tooth erupt. One thing all babies do during this time is chew. They will chew on anything that they can get their tiny little hands on or anything that happens across their mouth. Some common things that babies will chew include; their hands and arms, a parent's finger (anyone's finger!), toys, blankets, etc...
Parents used to give their babies relief through some everyday objects usually found in the home. Some of these remedies are still considered helpful, but the ones made from food can be dangerous if not properly and completely supervised.
cold washcloth ice pop (not recommended)
frozen banana cold water

If you don't want to try these methods, there are some excellent teething products on the market. They are colorful and fun to play with and are soothing for your baby to chew on. Experiment with your baby's teething. See what will work and what doesn't work. Something that soothes your baby one day might not necessarily soothe your baby another day.
