The First Years Massaging Action Teether Review

When my sixteen month old cut her first eyetooth, I realized the worst of teething was not behind us. Not only were the canines more painful to cut, but my toddler was a much bigger "baby" about the whole teething thing than she was as a stoical young infant who didn't know any better. After trying what felt like every solution in the AAP child care book, I found this old teether in the depths of my diaper bag and offered it without much hope for results.

My daughter did not get much use out of this teether as a small baby. The star was too big to comfortably fit in her mouth, and she had to bit too hard to activate the vibration.  As a toddler, she got much more benefit from it. The larger size and vibrating action made it both soothing and interesting enough for her to use herself. It doesn't replace a dose of Baby Tylenol now and then (something tells me that if we adults were teething, we would go straight for the Vicodin), but it provides a chewy distraction to the agony.
