Why Do Babies Chew Everything?

Why Do Babies Chew Everything?

If your little one seems determined to put absolutely everything in their mouth, you're not alone! From tiny fingers to their favourite toys, babies love to explore the world through chewing.

But did you know there's more to all that chomping than just teething?

Chewing is a natural and important part of your baby's development. Here's why!

Their Mouth is an important sensory tool

Babies have lots of sensitive nerve endings in and around their mouths, making them great tools for exploring the world.

When your little one chews, they're discovering different textures, shapes, temperatures and firmness. It's their way of learning about the things around them, one little chew at a time!

Teething Can Make Them Want to Chew More

As those tiny teeth begin to emerge, your baby's gums can become tender and uncomfortable.

Chewing on a baby-safe teether provides gentle pressure on their gums, which can help soothe teething discomfort.

Our Original Teethers feature textured bumps that are designed to gently massage sore gums and soothe teething discomfort.

 Chewing Builds Sensory Awareness

Whether it's something smooth, bumpy, soft or firm, exploring different surfaces with their mouths helps babies learn how objects feel and recognise the differences between them.

It's all part of their sensory development, helping them make sense of the world around them.

Our Animal Teethers offer different shapes and textures for curious little mouths to explore.

It Helps Develop Coordination

When your baby reaches for a toy, grasps it and brings it to their mouth, they're practising important hand-to-mouth coordination.

These little movements help build control and coordination, laying the foundations for skills like self-feeding.

Supporting Your Little Monkey's Development 🐒

Chewing isn't just a phase to get through. It's a natural part of how babies learn, explore and grow.

Offering safe, age-appropriate teethers with interesting textures can help satisfy their curiosity while providing comfort during teething.

Our fun, easy-to-hold Teethers are designed for little hands and curious mouths, with textured bumps that gently massage sore gums.

So, the next time your little one starts chomping away, remember: they're not just chewing, they're learning!
