Pigeon Training Teether (4+ Months), 1 Piece

Pigeon's training teether is a different idea from an ordinary cooling teether. Rather than only soothing sore gums, it is shaped to encourage the front-to-back biting and chewing motion a baby will need for solid food. Babies are not born knowing how to chew, and the series is built to develop that gradually across stages.

This is the first step, softer and simpler than the ones that follow, for a baby who is just beginning to mouth things deliberately.

Specs

• Type: Training teether, step 1
• Age: From around 4 months
• Purpose: Developing the biting and chewing motion
• Material: BPA-free, food-grade
• Pack: 1 piece
• Brand: Pigeon (Japan)

Benefits

• Chewing is a learned skill rather than an instinct, and it develops before solid food is introduced
• Softer than the later steps, which suits a baby whose gums are sore and whose jaw is still weak
• Part of a graded series, so it progresses with your baby rather than being outgrown in a fortnight
• Sized and weighted for a baby to hold and direct without help
• Pigeon builds its baby range to Japanese safety standards, which are among the strictest for mouthed items

How to Use

• Wash thoroughly before first use and after every session
• Let your baby hold and explore it themselves rather than guiding it into the mouth
• Move up to step 2 when your baby is chewing confidently on this one
• Always supervise your baby while they use it
• Inspect regularly and replace at the first sign of damage
• Follow the age guidance and cleaning instructions on the pack
