This is what I know about teething after having two children that both decided to grow teeth.
1. Teething sucks for everybody involved.
2. I am the perfect human pacifier.
3. I cannot be the perfect human pacifier everyday.
4. Teething sucks for everybody involved. Seriously.
When my firstborn started teething, I tried lots of different things. I tried little tubes of gel goo. I bought a whole bunch of rubbery type objects. I froze washcloths. And I even bought this stupid little necklace thing that looked like a bunch of laundry detergent gel pouches strung together. It popped. Nobody cared.
Ultimately, I became the human pacifier, and while this worked, it drove me a little crazy on more than one occasion. So when my second child began to sprout his first few teeth, I went into overdrive trying to figure out what would be the perfect, most comfortable teething device...that did not breathe or wish to shower regularly.
I tried wooden teethers. No dice. I bought a very expensive little giraffe. He was part of my son's "in crowd" for about a week, but don't worry, he is now secret BFF's with the dog. And in desperation, I have offered up a wide array of wooden cooking utensils for my son to use as teethers, but he has preferred to use them as sticks in a game of fetch where I take on the role of four legged mutt.
Rarely do I shop at Babies R Us. But one day for one reason or another I found myself there. I was walking around the feeding section when I came across this little guy.
A friend had told me about the crazy, spectacular wonderful that is the Baby Banana Toothbrush. And so for about $8 I bought it. And my son fell in love with that little banana sucker.
In fact, I loved this little guy so much that I wrote to the company to tell them that their product was fantastic....and I also mentioned that I write a blog and would love to give one of these little guys away. But the people at Live-Right Solutions did one better. They sent me their new teether aka the Baby Sharky Brush. And this is what I thought:
Pros:
Like the Baby Banana Toothbrush teether, Sharky is easy to grab. I mean like really easy. In fact, I mean like my son holds that little blue shark like he is made out of $100 bills because he doesn't want to give it up.
Sharky's fins prevent my son from gagging himself with Sharky which has saved me from running like a Smurf on fire every time I decide my son has been too quiet for too long.
Sharky is ick free. The Baby Shark Brush is made of 100% medical grade silicone and is BPA, Pthalate and Latex free.
Sharky is soft and chewable...which is probably the best part.
Sharky can stand up! Hallelujah for a stand up teether! This prevents me from spending time figuring out the perfect way to lay Sharky down so that he does not get dust or other crap on him that would require washing him.
