Teething rings are small, often rubber or silicone toys designed for infants to chew on during the teething process. They help soothe sore gums as babies begin to grow their first teeth. Many teething rings are designed with different textures and shapes to provide additional relief and stimulation for a baby's gums. These rings can be chilled in the refrigerator to offer a cooling effect, which can further alleviate discomfort. Parents often choose teething rings that are free from harmful chemicals, ensuring they are safe for babies to chew on. Popular brands include Sophie the Giraffe and Nuby.
