Teething relief in a cuddly package

Ever picked tiny bits of fuzz, crayons, coins, clothing, hair, and remotes out of your baby's mouth? Wiped off table edges, crib rails and hard floors a million times? Then you probably know how strong the drive is for a baby to explore its world with its mouth!
Mouthing or chewing and sucking on toys (and everything in sight) is not only on your baby's agenda when she is self-soothing, which is the motivation behind hand and thumb-sucking, pacifiers and sippy cups, bottles or mama herself. Mouthing is also not only for babies who are teething, although babies seem to be soothed by mouthing something when they are cutting teeth. Mouthing is one of the many, and essential, ways babies learn about their world. The reason toy manufacturers say that certain toys are not for under three is that sometime before the age of three, kids start to explore the world more by with their hands and manipulating toys.
Teethers from GrowlGearStore.com are the perfect solution for all three mouthing needs. Our cuddly ducky, lamb, froggy, puppy, bear and giraffe 10" plush teethers ($9) give your child a little friend to self-soothe with. The bumpy teething ring gives baby a firm, safe spot to massage gums, and the many textures gives baby many sensations to explore, from the teething ring to patches and from tags to satin backing.
And best of all, they are made for the under-three crowd, so they are totally safe for baby, with embroidered eyes and a BPA-, phthalate-free teething ring!
