During the teething phase, some parents may prefer to use alternatives to teething toys to provide relief for their baby. A cold, damp washcloth or a chilled spoon can help soothe sore gums, while a frozen fruit in a mesh feeder can also be a good option. Some parents may give their baby a gentle gum massage or use a teething necklace made from safe, non-toxic materials. However, it’s important to remember that not all alternatives may be as effective or long-lasting as teething toys. Parents should always closely supervise their babies to ensure their safety.
