What works for someone else might not work for you—and vice versa—and that’s okay! There will be LOTS of unsolicited advice coming your way starting now, and fortunately or unfortunately, it isn’t going to end anytime soon.

However, there are two things that every parent can agree on: Staying organized as much as possible and giving your baby the best developmental headstart whenever possible. That’s why our favorite uncommon baby must-have picks are easy, smart solutions for organization and developmental benefits!

Starting Them Early: Oral Sensory Developmental Toy

Innobaby’s star teethers aren’t just great for teething pain; they’re considered “training teethers,” which means they’re great for a bunch of different reasons, including:

• Stimulating the muscles of the lips, tongue, and cheeks to improve oral motor skills
• Help with nursing, eating solid foods, drinking from cups, and speech development
• Improves hand-eye coordination
• Bilateral movement and stimulation of both sides of the brain

PLUS, these teethers are super safe. Unfortunately, not all teethers are created with this in mind. Many teethers contain toxic chemicals or can break, snap, leak, or crack, causing obvious safety issues for your baby.

Innobaby holds its teethers to the very highest standards (Conform to Toy Safety Standard ASTM F963 and EN71) and uses the highest quality TPE available because Innobaby wants the best for your baby, just like you! Other teethers may be too small or break apart easily, but you can trust ours.

Ways to Use Them

Latching issues.	If you find that your baby has issues with breastfeeding latch or makes clicking noises while feeding on the breast or on the bottle, this product will help you! All you have to do is start little by little: Turn the teether vertically into your baby’s mouth so that they can practice opening wide and cupping their tongue.
Motor Skill Development.	Allow your baby to reach and grab for their teether, holding it up to examine it and moving it all over their mouth to explore the different textures. Sounds simple, but you are helping them develop their motor skills! This is why it is so important to choose a teether that is visually stimulating, easy to grasp, and has multiple textures.
Toddlerhood Transition to Solid Foods and Speech.	Using an oral development teether can have an easier time transitioning to solid foods speech. With the jaw, tongue, and lip muscles being stimulated and exercised at such an early age, they are getting the best foundation possible! By using a teether, babies are practicing rounding their tongues, rounding their lips, and moving their jaws. This is why teether choice is so important!
