Wooden Teething Rings

For fast relief of swollen gums, we recommend dampening the cloth end of these Caden Lane teething rings and tossing it in the fridge/freezer for a little while – when you take it out to give to them, the cold, soft cloth will help soothe the gums and reduce swelling. Wooden teething rings are a great natural, plastic and chemical-free alternative to other teethers. The wooden ring is rubbed with maple oil which is perfectly safe and healthy for baby! The wood ring is also an easy way for baby to grip and hold on!
