Pacify your crying baby!

Teethers: Are your baby’s teeth started growing? If yes, they will always desire to get their hands and mouth on everything they see, wish or they seek and you need to monitor her now and then. In order to help the frightful teething process go smoothly, you need to find the perfect teething toys for your baby. These are the one that satisfies your little darling, and makes them fell complete about their desire, henceforth keeps you away from stressing out.

Pacifiers: As a new parent comforting your baby would be your top priorities, and pacifier comes in rescue. A pacifier can also be called as paci, a nuk, a binky, a soother and a dummy. Some of the advantages are they can “pacify” babies, comfort your little darling, induce baby sleep, maintain your baby relatively quiet, and also provide a space for intuitive sucking that babies suspire for. It serves both as a boon (in terms of good night sleep) and bane (your little honey restricts from leaving the house without having one). There are tons of teethers and pacifiers in the market to comfort and soothe babies, perhaps making the gruesome teething process a bit more easy to handle for both the om and baby. But are they safe? Since they are specifically designed for chewing, they should be both safe and chemical free.

Unfortunately, many conventional and traditional teethers and pacifiers contain Bishpenol A or BPA. I love to provide you (mom and dad) with list of product alternatives which are nontoxic and safer for your tot. There is just no need to buy toxic and chemical based baby products anymore. I've compiled a list of the best teething toys and pacifiers, and you're sure to find some you like.

Raz-Berry teether-pacifier

RaZbaby’s RaZ-Berry teether is one of the best stimulating, multi-textured pacifier used to soothe baby’s gums. It is 2 in 1 product with hands-free all silicone teething pacifier can also be frozen for extra comfort. It is non-toxic, 100 medical grade silicone and BPA-free. They are shaped like a raspberry. The bumpy texture soothes baby’s gums. This one seems to be quite popular among parents. This particular version comes in blue, red, and clear designs.

The Green Sprouts Feeding line contains no BPA, PVC, Lead, or Phthalates. The bright colors stimulate and encourage active play while the soft silicone teether parts help soothe sore gums.

Nuby Icybite Hard or Soft Teething Keys

The cool resilient surfaces on this teether soothe and stimulate sore gums safely. The purICE will remain colder longer than water filled teethers. The multiple teething surfaces aid in the eruption and strengthening of new teeth.

Amber teething necklaces

Amber has been used for centuries to provide natural comfort to teething babies in Europe. However, it is not for chewing. The idea is this: when the amber is worn on the skin, the warmth of the skin releases traces amounts of healing oils onto the skin (Amber is fossilized tree sap). These oils help keep your baby calm and relaxed during teething. Some parents swear by these necklaces.

Some of the best amber necklaces are given below: Click on the image to buy them.

Pacifiers

Pacifiers help to prevent children from developing the habit of constantly tasting their thumbs and it can be a really hard task to break the habit (believe me) so it's well worth having some pacifiers around. It's always recommended to wait at least 3-4 weeks before instigating your breastfed baby to a pacifier or any type of artificial nipple which also include baby bottles. Personally, I recommend you to wait even longer i.e. till 6-8 weeks until mom's milk supply is well known and fed, so now you need not worry about loosing any needed nipple stimulation to the pacifier.
