Loved this at first sight. Why I love it so much? It is SUPER CUTE AND SUPER SOFT! I looooooove it and I know my baby will, too! Very high quality, thick but not too thick, and soft. Although you may can find another more friendly price but frankly saying this worth every penny. My favorite one is Sushi and city editions, I hope they can have Bubble Milk Tea swaddle.

Best teether material for babies - Wooden teether, natural fabrics, or silicone teether?

We all knew choosing a teether for your little one’s aching gums could be so complicated. A teether is an object which when chewed by the babies give relieve to their sore gums. The teethers are available having the different bases such as wooden, BPA-free plastic, natural rubber, and silicone. Which teether material is the best one for my babies?

Raised your hand if you have tried to bite your baby teether? I have tried both silicone and wooden, I prefer chewing my bubble gum, but the feeling of biting teether was not that bad and weird, hahaha. Frankly saying, I like silicone teether better than wooden, but this is my personal opinion apart from what best for my baby. Silicone teether is way cuter than wooden one, colorful and attractive.

Which teether material is the best one for my babies?

Wooden teether, natural fabrics, or silicone teether?

You’ll definitely want to avoid any silicone teether that contain BPA, PVC, or phthalates. Why?

  • BPA or bisphenol-A is a plastics chemical that mimics estrogen and disrupts the body’s hormonal systems. It’s particularly harmful for pregnant women, babies, and young kids. Though most regulatory bodies, including the FDA, will tell you BPA is safe in the small quantities that appear in plastic products, many companies have chosen to produce and market BPA-free plastics. Excellent! Except for one small detail: Many companies simply replace BPA with BPS — bisphenol-S — which is just as toxic, if not more toxic, than BPA. Bottom line? Just because a product is touted as BPA-free doesn’t mean it’s safe.

  • PVC or polyvinyl chloride is the third most common plastic in the world — and also the most toxic. It’s bad stuff, and you definitely don’t want it in something your kids will put in their mouths.

  • Phthalates are chemicals added to plastics to make them soft and supple. (PVC is actually hard and brittle so to make something like a squeezy toy requires the addition of phthalates.) Phthalates don’t bond to plastic, though, so they leach out over time. Babies who suck on teethers containing phthalates will be ingesting a known carcinogen. Baby Center has an excellent list of phthalate names so you can check labels.

If you’re super-concerned about plastics or your baby’s reactions to rubber, then wood and fabric teething toys are the ones for you. There are plenty of good ones to choose from. The teether made by using wood are safer because of having natural, chemical and plastic free features.

So, here are what I can recommend to you - trust me, I’ve try to chew them, but nothing happened, they just so durable.

Stepping on the age of 7 months is your busy period as a parent because you have to keep an eye on your little one who has started to actively move.

6. Waving

His ability to wave his hands is very important in his growth development milestones, because this is the actual expression of language. At the age of 9 months babies usually begin to find a connection between sound, gestures and meaning. They understand that when somebody waving their hand is related to the word "bye-bye".

7. Eat with fingers

At the age of 9-12 months, babies have developed good control of their hands and fingers so they will begin to pick up various small objects. At this age they also like to explore taste and texture, so that everything they hold will also be tried by their tongue. Because of that, watch everything that goes into his mouth.

9. Walk

This is a milestone that most parents take memories by recording it, usually you can predict when baby will walk by paying attention to their ability to “creeping”. But not all babies can walk before their first birthday, the normal range is between 9-17 months.

10. Talk

"Mommy", "Daddy", are a sentence that their might say first clearly. At the age of a year, babies are generally being able to say at least one word clearly and actively mimic various sounds.
