Benefits of All-Natural Wooden Teething Rings

Teething can start anywhere between 4 months and 10 months – and you’ll definitely know once it’s started! Excessive crying, red and swollen gums, crankiness, loss of appetite, flushed cheeks… Our poor little ones become subject to so much discomfort and irritation during this painful little stage of their young lives. Luckily, we’re equipped with teething rings that can do wonders to help babies’ pain and discomfort during teething.

There are plenty of baby teethers on the market, but many contain plastics, BPA and other potentially harmful chemicals that we certainly don’t want in our young one’s mouths! If you’re currently going through teething woes with your baby, we wanted to shed some light on one kind of teething ring that is both effective and safe – wooden teething rings!

Benefits of All-Natural Wooden Teething Rings

1. Chemical free and non-toxic

One of the primary benefits of opting for wooden teething rings over plastic or other popular baby teethers is the fact that wooden teethers are non-toxic and free from harmful leads, metals, BPA, chemicals or phthalates. We want our customers’ children to be as safe as possible by providing them with the safes and best products. The safety factor of these amazing wooden teething toys is a major reason why we’ve decided to stock them and why we recommend them to parents.

2. Durable

Wood is far more durable that plastics – which many baby teethers are made out of. This means that your wooden teething ring will far outlast any plastic or cheap teether you could purchase for your little one. The durability of these wooden teething rings makes them last longer, which in turn creates less waste from otherwise disposable products. The durability factor of these wooden teethers brings us to our next benefit – sustainability.

3. Sustainable

Most of our wooden teething rings for babies are made with beech wood. Beech wood is uniquely sustainable in that it can be grown in renewable and managed forests. This means that more wood can be grown to replace the trees that have been used and cut down. Here at Nordlife, sustainability is a HUGE factor in all of the products we carry. So, of course we have gravitated towards these amazing wooden teething rings as the best option for soothing babies’ gums!

4. Naturally antibacterial

Did you know this one? Wood actually has natural antimicrobial properties and is therefore naturally antibacterial. How cool is that?! As parents, we are constantly worried about germs around our babies so this aspect of wooden teething rings is a huge plus! Not only is it one less thing to worry about, baby teethers are constantly in babies’ mouths so this factor is especially important for a product like this one.

So now you know about the amazing benefits of option for wooden teething toys over plastic, metal or other baby teethers. Let’s take a look at some of the cute and practical wooden teethers we sell at Nordlife!
