The appearance of the first teeth is a challenge for both babies and parents alike.

It's extremely overwhelming to see how the little ones suffer from pain from the first months of life.

Teething toys are a real support for us, but what are the most suitable ones?

Here are 4 criteria for choosing the best teething toys:

Free from toxic substances:

This characteristic is essential for choosing healthy teething toys for babies.

Unfortunately, although they are designed for such young children, many teething toys on the market contain harmful substances, such as phthalates, which are the plasticizers that children can come into contact with when chewing on toys.

Exposure to phthalates is harmful to the body, as it can lead to disruption of the endocrine system and affect fertility.

Equally toxic is bisphenol-A, which is also an endocrine disruptor but is nonetheless present in some teething toys.

In the desire to attract as much attention as possible, teething toy manufacturers produce brightly colored models, but with lead-based paints.

This can lead to learning deficiencies and behavioral disorders.

No small parts that can be swallowed:

Children are at an age where they put everything they can grab into their mouths, and teething toys made up of decomposing components can put their lives in danger.

It only takes a moment of inattention for a baby to dismantle the components of toys and swallow them, posing a high risk of choking.

The safest option is to purchase molded teething toys made from a single piece, such as those crafted in the BumbuToys workshop.

Easy to hold in hand:

A teething toy should not be too small, to avoid the risk of being swallowed, but neither too large.

The toy of the ideal size is the one that babies can easily hold in their little hands.

Completely safe:

Along with the materials they are made of and the lack of detachable parts, they should be completely safe.

Teething toys should not have corners that can scratch or injure. It is also advisable to avoid those containing gels or liquids, as after being placed in the freezer, they can become harder and scratch babies' delicate gums.

All BumbuToys teething toys are made from eco-friendly materials, from natural wood, free of ingestible components, and have the ideal size to be easily held in babies' hands.

Because they are carefully finished, there is no risk of babies scratching their delicate gums or injuring themselves.

Moreover, they are oiled with organic oils, to acquire increased resistance to saliva and are available in adorable, highly attractive shapes.

The little ones will be able to chew on BumbuToys teething toys to their heart's content and can dip them in various liquids without them deteriorating.

They can also use them safely to alleviate the discomfort caused by the appearance of their teeth.
