There's no set timeframe for using a teether. It depends on your baby's individual needs and development.
Teething Timeline
- Typically, babies start teething around 4-7 months old. However, some babies may start earlier or later.
- Teething can last for months, even years.
- As your baby grows, their teething needs change. You may find that they need different types of teethers as they develop.
When to Stop Using a Teether
- Stop using teethers when your baby is no longer interested in them. This is usually when they have a full set of teeth or are able to self-soothe without a teether.
- You can also stop using a teether if it becomes a safety hazard. For example, if your baby starts to chew on the teether too aggressively or tries to swallow it.
Choosing the Right Teether
- Choose teethers made from safe and non-toxic materials.
- Look for teethers that are age-appropriate.
- Make sure the teether is easy for your baby to grasp and chew on.
Remember, every baby is different. Pay attention to your baby's cues and adjust your teether usage accordingly.
