Teething ring (3-24M)

This pretzel teether from the brand mushie is safe, high-quality, and perfect for babies from 3 months old. Its lovely design in the shape of a pretzel—or "bayrische Breze" as they say in Bavaria :)—also looks great in any nursery! This teether is also an excellent choice as a birth gift.

Why is a teether good for a baby?

Sucking is important for your baby for both nutrition (nutritive sucking) and emotional needs (non-nutritive sucking—often affectionately called "comfort sucking"). Non-nutritive sucking helps your baby regulate themselves, for example, when falling asleep or when feeling uncomfortable. In 2016, researchers Foster, Psaila, and Patterson from Western Sydney University in Australia even studied how non-nutritive sucking contributes to increasing physiological stability and improving feeding behavior in preterm infants.

This is why the pretzel teether is perfect for your baby:

• Initially, your baby prefers to explore objects with their mouth rather than their hands or eyes. This teether has various surfaces and is therefore especially interesting for your baby.
• Sucking on a teether or pacifier (non-nutritive sucking) helps your baby regulate themselves, for example, when falling asleep or when feeling uncomfortable.
• Around 4-6 months, you can also give the teether to your baby to hold, helping them gain their first tactile experiences and promote their sense of touch.
  

Info: A teether or pacifier helps your baby calm down, increases physiological stability, and can even improve feeding behavior.
