If your baby has suddenly become extra dribbly, clingy, chewing on everything in sight — chances are teething has begun.

Teething can feel like a big milestone (because it is!) but it can also be uncomfortable for little ones and exhausting for parents. That’s exactly why we’re so excited to introduce six brand new Bibbilyboo Silicone Teethers — thoughtfully designed to soothe sore gums while supporting your baby’s development.

But first — let’s talk about what’s actually happening during teething.

When Do Babies Start Teething?

On average, babies begin teething around 6 months old, although it’s completely normal for it to start anywhere between 3 and 12 months.

Most babies will have:

• Their first tooth by age 1

• Around 8 teeth by 12 months

• A full set of 20 milk teeth by around 2½ to 3 years

Every baby is different — some breeze through it, while others need a little extra comfort along the way.

Why Teething Can Be Uncomfortable

When a tooth begins to erupt, it pushes up through the gum tissue. This creates pressure, swelling and tenderness beneath the surface.

That’s why babies instinctively:

• Chew on fingers

• Gnaw on toys

• Rub their gums

• Dribble more than usual

They’re seeking counter-pressure — something firm yet gentle to bite down on to relieve that internal pressure.

And that’s exactly where silicone teethers come in.

Why Choose a Silicone Teether?

All of our Bibbilyboo teethers are made from 100% food-grade silicone, free from BPA, phthalates, lead and other harmful chemicals. They are certified to UKCA, CE, CPC and EN71 safety standards — so you can feel completely confident in what your baby is chewing.

Silicone is ideal for teething because it:

• Provides safe, satisfying resistance

• Gently massages inflamed gums

• Is soft enough for comfort but firm enough for pressure relief

• Is durable, hygienic and easy to clean

• Can be chilled for additional soothing

Beyond gum relief, teethers also support development by encouraging:

• Hand-eye coordination

• Fine motor skill development

• Grip strength

• Sensory exploration

So they’re not just soothing — they’re supporting learning too.

Extra Tip: Chill for Added Relief

For particularly sore gums, you can place silicone teethers in the fridge (not the freezer) before offering them to your baby.

The cool temperature can help:

• Reduce gum inflammation

• Provide additional numbing relief

• Calm irritated tissue

Always supervise your baby during use and check the teether before giving it to them.
