At what age to give a teething ring
Quick answer: You can give your baby a teething ring from the age of 3 months. That’s when the first teeth start to come in and baby needs relief. Most babies can use a teething ring between 3 and 12 months.
Why baby needs a teething ring
When baby’s teeth start to come in, their gums become sore. It’s like something hard is pushing under their skin. It hurts and makes them unhappy. A teething ring helps soothe this pain.
