Your teething baby will love the crinkle pages too, encouraging them to chew and 'read' the colourful pictures.

Babies love the different textures on this baby teething toy. This two pack has four different styles of silicone bristles and ridges to experiment with, and they're easy to grab hold of as well.

This should keep them occupied and pain-free for as long as you need.

This multi-textured babies' teether is a winner when you're on the go.

It also features a mirror and crinkly material, so your baby will be entertained even if they don't need the teethers.

If your baby loves their dummy, then this is the best of our recommended baby teething toys for you.

If getting your hair pulled is something you regularly have to endure while your baby is in a sling or feeding, then this necklace is worth a try. The colourful silicone beads will attract the attention of your baby, and if they get a little too enthusiastic then the safety clasp will release so you don't need to worry about neck strain! While this is not strictly a teething toy, babies can enjoy chewing on the beads while supervised as the necklace is round your neck. We also think the fact that you can wear this teething toy as a necklace is a great idea as it means there is one less thing to pack in your bag for a family day out!
