Once you have entered the twilight zone otherwise known as teething, nothing could be more challenging. All mommies and daddies undergo this inevitable chapter of parenthood, no exemptions. Safe to say, I have had my fair share of teething-baby experience. Twice. And those two times were not easy. Not just for me but most especially to my kids.
Growing a tooth is tough business for our children. The buckets of drool, the frustrated whimpers, and the eagerness of having to shove something and anything in their mouth – teething can transform your babies from a bouncing, jolly munchkin into a fussy, shrieking banshee.
We, mommies, dislike seeing our babies in discomfort and we like to take it into our own hands to soothe our baby’s swollen gums. With my two kids, I have tried almost everything just to lessen their painful gums. I stashed frozen fruits and ice chips and piles and piles of washcloths but their soothing effect was always just short-lived. Teething was one messy ordeal. So, I wanted to share to you (especially to the new mommies) an excellent solution to this dilemma.
The Nawgum teether by Mello & Co is the best teether there is in the market! I was just recently introduced to this product and how I wish I had this when my own babies were undergoing the worst of the worst of their teething experience.
Nawgum teether is not your ordinary teether. The teether is non-porous and seamless so it’s smooth and perfect for your baby’s swollen gums. It is shaped with four sections – two arms and two bumpers. The sections feel soft and rubbery on the surface but the middle portion is slightly hardened. The arms replicate what babies love to munch on the most – a finger! This makes it easier for the baby to hold on to. In addition, the finger-like shape allows it to reach deep in baby’s mouth so the back molars benefit from it. Most teethers, especially the rounded ones, only reach as far as the middle of the mouth making them inefficient when the back molars start to pop out.
Nawgum teether is made of excellent material. It is made with food grade silicone, and is also nontoxic and BPA-free. Nawgum is also dishwasher safe which makes it easy to wash and sanitize. Totally safe for baby’s use! This is what I love most about this product. You don’t get nervous when your baby chews on them. This thing is completely harmless.

This product can be brought online directly at Mello & Co’s official website. It costs around $19.99, may seem a bit pricey for a teether but I definitely believe every cent of your money is money well-spent and invested if you buy this product. A soothed-out gum means a soothed-out baby and a soothed-out baby means having to deal with a less fussy baby and more rest (and sleep!!!) for you. Now that is definitely worth more than what the teether costs!
