When do babies start teething?

Most babies start teething between 3 and 12 months old — the window Honey Bun teethers are designed for. Some start earlier; some later. Drooling, chewing on fists, and fussiness are common signs.

A mitten teether helps during this stage because babies can keep the toy in place without a perfect pincer grasp yet. The glove-style handle wraps around the hand so chewing can continue without constant adult help.

Safe materials matter more than novelty shapes. Look for food-grade silicone, BPA-free construction, and third-party testing. Honey Bun teethers meet CPSIA and ASTM standards and are made as one solid piece.

If teething pain seems extreme, or you're unsure whether symptoms are teething-related, check with your pediatrician. A chilled silicone teether can soothe gums, but it isn't a medical treatment.
