A teething baby is often a cranky baby, so you want to make sure that your little one has something to chew on. Many of the best infant toys are able to be gummed, which is smart, because in about two years’ time, a baby cuts 20 teeth. But it can also be nice to have additional chew toys specifically designed to relieve a baby's teething. These work with pressure points, temperature and/or a shape that lets a baby manipulate the teether to nearly any spot on their gums.
The experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Parenting and Toys Lab regularly test and evaluate all kinds of baby products, including teething toys, many of which are submitted for testing as part of our annual Parenting Awards. These are our current parent-tested faves.
