    When babies starting teething, it can seem like a nightmare! Your baby will be fussy, drooly, and just not their self.

    So, how can you help your baby? One of the easiest ways to help is by having some teething toys your little one can gnaw on.

    When do babies start using teething toys?

    Although most babies won't start teething until 4-6 months old, its a great idea to have these on hand before you need them!

    Put a few of them on your baby registry must haves, and maybe one of your friends will buy them for you. 🙂

    Also, whats great about a lot of these teething toys are that they are versatile and can be played with long before the teething stages.

    Best Baby Teething Toys

    1. The First Years Massaging Action Teether Star

    This particular teething toy is unlike any other! When your baby bites down on the star, it will lightly vibrate to massage those gums.

    It also features a little pink and green rotating rattle that will also be fun for them to play with.

    My kids loved this teething toy!

    More Info:

    • To clean, wipe surface with a damp cloth or sponge using mild liquid soap, then wipe with wet washcloth. Do not immerse!
