We’re so excited to receive our first shipment of Toofeze this week or next. Toofeze is an all natural, hypo-allergenic teether made from food-grade ingredients. They were designed with both baby and parents in mind. Each one has 3 distinct teething surfaces, which helps your baby self-manage her teething. The stainless steel disk provides a therapeutic effect for your baby by keeping cool and clinically reduces teething pain associated with swelling and inflammation. Designed ergonomically, Toofeze features a silicone handle which is easy for baby to grip onto and control–it even aids in early motor skills. It can be used to provide relief even through the two-year molars.
Toofeze can be cooled down instantly in a glass of water, making it easy for you while out and about–no need for a fridge. And they are easy to clean with soap and water, antibacterial wipes, or in the dishwasher. As a keepsake, you can take Toofeze to a local engraver to have your baby’s name engraved in the steel plate!
Check in with us soon to get your Toofeze so you and your little one get get some relief.
