I had no idea teething would require so many toys! Baby started drooling and gnawing on everything in sight over two months ago. We slowly started getting teething toys and now we have plenty around the house, in the car, and in the diaper bag. Although he uses all of his nontoxic teething toys and it’s so nice to have different kinds, we have discovered he definitely has his favorites. This list of nontoxic teething toys is approved by a teething and drooling five month old!

I am picky about the toys we have in our house, especially the toys that end up in my baby’s mouth. When it comes to toys that are specifically meant to be chewed on and drooled on, I make sure they don’t have BPA or other nasty chemicals. If you have a baby that is teething or is about to start, you have come to the right place! This list of favorites is full of nontoxic teething toys that are safe for your baby.
Teething Mitt: I try really hard to catch Baby when he starts to suck on his hand. He tries really hard to get his entire fist in his mouth! I would rather him chew on a teether so this mitt is perfect. He has been sucking and chewing on anything he can get his hands on for the past two months, so at first this was a little too advanced for him because he lacked the coordination to use it. Now that he has a little bit more control of his hand, he can easily bring the textured mitt to his mouth and gnaw away. He seems to like the crinkle sound the mitt makes, also. I like how the mitt is made with silicone, and it’s BPA and PVC-free.
Nuby Teething Bib – Dribble Catcher with Teething Corner: Baby E drools so much!! He has been drooling for over two months so we put a bib on him pretty often. I love these absorbent bibs because they’re made from a soft cotton, and they have a teething corner at the end of the bib! It’s perfect because Baby E loves to chew on his bibs anyway and this one is actually made for it. The teething corners are textured for babies’ gums. The bibs have super cute prints on both sides so they’re reversible. I love how these are safe for babies because they are free of BPA, PVC, and phthalate. Lastly, I love how the velcro tab makes these bibs easy to put on and take off. Not to be picky about velcro, but this is not the scratchy kind and I like that!

Dr. Brown’s AquaCool Teether: This cute teether is freezer safe, so it’s nice and cool on Baby E’s gums. I like that it doesn’t have a liquid filling but it can still be frozen. This refrigerator-safe water teether features solid leaves designed for little hands to comfortably hold even when it’s cold.
Nuby Teethe and Play Teething Toy: I love the teether with the mirror because Baby loves to look at himself so this teether both entertains him and soothes his gums. He can easily hold the toy to chew on the rubbery part. The fabric parts make a fun crinkly noise (babies just love that!). It’s free of BPA, PVC, and phthalate, and it comes in fun colors.

Vulli Sophie La Giraffe: Sophie is one of Baby’s top favorites! I used to always think Sophie was just a popular baby shower gift, but I now know she is popular for a reason! My son loves how it squeaks, and it’s easy for him to hold and chew. He loves to chew on her nose, ears, horns, and legs. I love how soft and flexible this teether is for him to chew on! This teether is made from 100% natural rubber and is painted with food grade paint. It is soft on the gums and light for babies to hold. Sophie comes from France, and she is phthalate and BPA free.

Hevea Panda Teether: This teething bear and Sophie are Baby’s teething favorites! I kind of stumbled upon this teether when I wasn’t even looking for one, and I’m so glad I bought it for Baby!! It seems so simple but he loves it so much that we now have two of these panda bears! We keep one in the house and one in his perfectly packed diaper bag. It fits perfectly in his little hands, and the texture is made to gently massage sore gums. The panda bear is made from 100% natural rubber and is a hygenic one-piece design. It’s also free from phtalates, PVC, and BPA, and it’s made in Malaysia. Note: It looks like the Panda is no longer available but this is from the same brand:
If you are gearing up for a teething battle, hopefully this list of our favorite nontoxic teething toys helps you find what your baby needs! Your baby’s gums will thank you! 🙂

Oh my goodness, those animals are adorable! I bought my niece a few of those teething bibs since she’s a hot drooling mess. She loves them!

Haha! When they start drooling, bibs are so necessary!! We love those bibs!

My son loved his Sophie, unfortunately one day she vanished without a trace. But he did like teething bibs a bunch.
Farmhouse Mama says
Oh no!! How sad!
Christine Turner says
This is a well put together list! When my daughter was a baby she had Sofie the Giraffe. Now, I have a niece and she just loves the teether I put in the freezer. If my sister has another baby, I’ll be sure to get one of these! Thanks for sharing!
Farmhouse Mama says
Thank you so much! I hope it was helpful! The freezer ones are so nice for their gums!
Margaret Westhoff says
Those bibs are great! Sophie was a big help in our house. I didn’t know about Sophie’s teether friends. They are adorable too!
Farmhouse Mama says
They’re so adorable! Sophie is definitely a must for my baby! It may be his absolute favorite even! There’s just something about it they love:)
Rachel says
THe mit looks great. THey didn’t have anything like this when my kids were teething. The giraffe was super big when my youngest was a baby.
Farmhouse Mama says
Sophie is definitely a classic! Before Baby E, I remember wondering why every baby had it! Haha!
The mitt has been great because he brings it straight to his mouth!! 🙂
Farmhouse Mama says
Yes!! I feel like you need them everywhere so they’re always within reach! 🙂
Sheri - A Busy Bee's Life says
The bibs are great and those teething toys are so helpful. My little one is now two and a half and when he was teething we didn’t have too many tears, thank God!
Farmhouse Mama says
Oh that’s great! I’m praying it goes that smoothly for us also! 🙂

Jessica says
Munch mits, lol. We just love auto correct, don’t we? Lol. ?
Farmhouse Mama says
Lol! ?
I think they’re a great idea! My little one just had to have a little more hand control so he didn’t bonk himself in the head and scare himself ? now he loves it though!
Yocana talaia says
My daughter and son loved the bib and the teething set. But both didn’t have a lot of pain when their teeth’s where coming thru
Farmhouse Mama says
Oh that’s great! I’m hoping we don’t have much pain either!
Jennifer Corter says
That Munch Mitt is too cute! I love it!
Farmhouse Mama says
My little one loves it! It’s just like chewing on his hand but better! ?
Michelle says
Great information Sara and thanks for sharing, i wish i could have ran into this post much earlier while my little one was going through this process though :). As a parent, it is hard to watch your little one go through this painful process, which is why it is important to know all about teething so that you can offer your child every comfort while he/she is teething, and what remedies/toys are safe for them. If i can just add, by reading through a couple mom blogs, what i noticed a lot is new moms always wondering which is the “best” toy to buy the baby while teething. This is a difficult task because ultimately, it is whichever toy the baby chooses, which is why i strongly agree with buying a variety of toys and have the baby pick their favorite. Like in my experience, after going through multiple toys, my daughter finally fell in love with the Silicone Teething Mitten Baby Glove, which in my opinion, actually topped other teething toys. Teething Mitten glove, Protects baby`s hands from becoming chapped from excess chewing and saliva and also it stays on the baby’s hand comfortably with a secure velcro strap which makes it easy to carry around. The teething mitten glove will keep your baby entertained with its crinkle noise, attracting baby’s attention, and distracting the baby from the pain. I would definitely recommend the teething mitten glove to any parent new or not.
