When the first teeth start to come through, it can be a challenging time for both baby and parents. A good teething ring can relieve discomfort, stimulate the baby’s senses and at the same time be a safe and fun toy. The selection is large – from classic silicone teething rings to cooling models and multifunctional designs – and it can be difficult to find the one that best suits your child’s needs.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of the most important considerations to make when choosing a teething ring, as well as inspiration for different types and brands worth knowing about.

The article presents a wide range of teething rings in different materials, shapes and price ranges. The aim is to provide an informative overview of features and characteristics, so you can more easily find a model that suits your child. The information about the products is based on descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and neutral overview.

Factors to consider when buying a teething ring

When choosing a teething ring, it’s all about comfort, safety and functionality. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.

1. Material and safety

The material is crucial for both safety and comfort. Silicone and natural rubber are popular choices as they are soft, flexible and free from harmful substances such as BPA, PVC and phthalates. Wooden teething rings can provide a different texture but should always be treated with natural oils and without varnish.

2. Shape and grip

A teething ring should be easy for small hands to hold. Many models have ergonomic shapes or handles that make it easier for the baby to grasp and chew on different parts. Variation in surface texture can also stimulate the gums and provide extra relief.

3. Cooling effect

Some teething rings can be placed in the fridge to provide a soothing, cooling effect on sore gums. However, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, as not all teething rings tolerate cold, and they should never be placed in the freezer.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

Teething rings should be cleaned regularly, as they often end up on the floor or in the mouth. Silicone and rubber models can typically be rinsed in warm water or sterilised, while wooden teething rings should be wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaning agents.

5. Design and function

In addition to soothing, teething rings can also function as sensory toys. Some have built-in rattles, textures or combined functions such as teething ring and comfort cloth. Consider whether you want a simple model or one that also stimulates your child’s development through play.

Fruit play for baby

Sophie Soft Teething Ring
A flexible teething ring made from 100% natural rubber and coloured with plant-based, non-toxic dyes. Designed for infants who are teething and need a gentle yet resilient surface to chew on.
Why it was chosen: The Sophie Soft Teething Ring was selected as a classic example of a natural teething ring free from harmful substances. It represents a popular choice among parents who want a safe and eco-friendly product for their baby.

Different types of teething rings

Teething rings come in many varieties that differ in material, function and purpose. Here’s an overview of the most common types.

1. Silicone teething rings

Silicone teething rings are soft, flexible and easy to clean. They often withstand both boiling and dishwashing, making them a practical choice for everyday use. Many models have different textures that stimulate the gums.

2. Rubber teething rings

Natural rubber teething rings are a popular choice for parents who prefer a natural material. They are light, elastic and have a pleasant surface that many babies prefer. Make sure the rubber is 100% natural rubber without additives.

3. Wooden teething rings

Wooden teething rings provide a firm and different sensation that can be nice for the baby to chew on. They are often made of beech or maple and are sometimes combined with fabric or silicone for extra variation.

4. Cooling teething rings

These models contain a liquid that can be cooled in the fridge. The low temperature helps reduce swelling and pain in the gums. However, they should be used with care and always checked for leaks.

5. Multifunctional teething rings

Some teething rings also function as toys, comfort cloths or activity hangers. They often combine different materials and textures, making them versatile and stimulating for the baby.

Different brands of teething rings

The market for teething rings offers many well-known and reliable brands, each with their own focus areas.

Sophie la Girafe

A classic brand known for its natural rubber teething rings in the shape of the iconic giraffe. The products are hand-painted with natural colours and have been popular for generations.

Mushie

Mushie offers modern, minimalist teething rings made of food-grade silicone. The design is simple, the colours muted, and the products fit well with the Nordic style.

Natruba

Natruba produces handmade teething rings in natural rubber with a focus on sustainability and safety. They are free from harmful substances and designed with attention to detail and functionality.

Liewood

Liewood combines aesthetics and function with teething rings made of silicone and wood. Their designs are often inspired by animals and nature and match well with the brand’s other baby products.

Hevea

Frequently asked questions

When do babies start using a teething ring?

Most babies need a teething ring around 3–6 months of age, when teething begins. However, it can vary from child to child.

How many teething rings do you need?
