teethers

Baby gum soothers

Teethers are objects designed for babies to chew on during teething, when their first teeth are emerging through the gums.

The chewing provides relief from discomfort.

Teethers come in various shapes and materials—rubber rings, textured toys, or chilled gel-filled devices: The baby gnawed on her teether all afternoon.
