Silicone teether is a kind of molar toy specially designed for babies. Most of them are made of silicone rubber, which is safe and non-toxic. It can be used many times, and can also help baby massage gums. In addition, sucking and chewing gum can promote the coordination of baby's eyes and hands, thus promoting the development of intelligence. The silicone gum toy can also exercise the baby's chewing ability, so that the baby can chew food more fully and digest food more thoroughly.
Medical research also shows that when babies are noisy and tired, they can obtain psychological satisfaction and security by sucking pacifiers and chewing gum. Dental gum is suitable for children from 6 months to 2 years old.
So how to use silicone teether?
1. Replace regularly
As the child's age increases, and the gum is worn after being chewed, it needs to be replaced regularly. Generally, it is recommended to replace the gum once every 3 months. Or prepare several gums for use at the same time.
2. Avoid freezing
Before using gum, some parents like to refrigerate the gum and give it to their baby to bite. It not only massages the gums, but also has the effect of reducing swelling and convergence. However, it is worth noting that it is better to wrap a layer of preservative film on the gum when freezing to prevent bacteria in the refrigerator from adhering to the gum surface.
3. Scientific cleaning
Before use, parents must check the instructions and warnings of the product, especially the cleaning and disinfection methods. Generally speaking, silica gel can withstand high temperature and can be cleaned and disinfected with hot water.
4. In case of damage, stop using immediately
Damaged silicone teether may hurt your baby and the residue may be swallowed by mistake. In order to avoid harm to the baby, parents should carefully check before each use, and stop using the gum once it is damaaged.
