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.
