FAQs

Can newborns use this teether safely?

Yes—it’s never too early to start gentle oral development play.

- From birth (0–4 months): Use the teether to practice nursing skills—low-stress tongue movement and early lip/jaw activation. At this age, babies may not bring it to their mouth on their own, so offer and guide briefly.
- 4–6 months & beyond: Encourage side-to-side tongue movement, early chewing, and jaw strength/stability. Short, happy sessions work best.

*Why it helps: Teethers are a simple, everyday way to build more mature oral motor skills, and are recommended by experts for daily use.

Is it easy for a young baby to hold?

Yes. The EZ Grip design is lightweight and perfectly sized for tiny hands, so babies can grasp and self-soothe earlier. Occupational therapists also highlight that its lightweight makes it safer—if babies wave it around or bump themselves, it won’t hurt.

Will it help with drooling, fussiness, or sleep issues?

Yes. Teething often causes drooling, fussiness, and restless nights. A safe, developmentally beneficial teether helps soothe sore gums, ease discomfort, and support calmer, better sleep for your baby (and you).

How should I clean it?

Top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand-washing is recommended for longevity.

Why is my baby making clicking sounds while feeding?

Clicking can signal weak tongue strength or tongue-tie. Other signs include frequent breaks, long feeds, or poor weight gain. To help, practice oral exercises (ask your pediatrician), try tummy time, and use Innobaby oral development teethers to encourage tongue and jaw movement.

✨ Fine & gross motor skills
👀 Hand-eye coordination
