What Parents Often Miss About Teething Safety
Teething is a magical but challenging milestone. As your baby’s teeth emerge, parents naturally seek solutions to soothe sore gums—often turning to colorful teethers, toys, or DIY remedies. However, when it comes to teething safety, many common oversights can put little ones at risk.
At nubokind, we understand the anxieties parents face. Our mission is to provide safe, BIS-certified infant teethers that protect your baby’s health while offering comfort and fun. Here’s what many parents miss and how to choose teethers safely.
Common Teething Safety Oversights
1. Choosing Non-Certified Products
Many teethers may claim safety without proper certification. Parents often overlook the importance of:
-
BIS certification (India)
-
CE marking (Europe) or similar international safety standards
Risk: Non-certified teethers may contain BPA, phthalates, or heavy metals, which can be harmful if ingested.
nubokind solution: Every teether we offer, including the Ele Ring Teether Set and Kiko No-Drop Newborn Teether, is BIS certified and made from 100% food-grade silicone, free from toxins.
2. Ignoring Material Quality
Colorful plastics or rubber may seem appealing but could migrate chemicals over time. Some fake certifications or “BPA-free” labels are misleading.
Risk: Babies chewing low-quality materials can ingest harmful substances, causing long-term health issues.
nubokind solution: Our silicone is high-quality, food-grade, with thorough material sourcing and testing to ensure safety and durability.
3. Overlooking Teether Design
Teethers that are too small, have detachable parts, or rough edges can pose choking or injury risks.
Risk: Poorly designed teethers can break apart or scratch delicate gums.
nubokind solution: Every teether is ergonomically designed, lightweight, and molded as a single seamless piece, eliminating choking hazards and providing a comfortable grip for babies.
4. Failing to Inspect Regularly
Even certified teethers need routine inspection. Over time, wear and tear may:
-
Create cracks or tears
-
Cause color fading or surface peeling
Risk: Damaged teethers may harbor bacteria or pose choking hazards.
Tip: Inspect teethers weekly and replace them immediately if damaged.
5. Believing All DIY or Second-Hand Teethers Are Safe
Handmade or second-hand teethers might look safe but often lack:
-
Safety testing
-
Hygiene guarantees
Risk: Babies could be exposed to bacteria or unsafe materials.
nubokind solution: Our teethers are made new, sterilized, and ready for use, giving parents peace of mind.
