Quick answer
Both the Cow Wood Teether and Guitar Wood Teether offer the same safe, natural hardwood teething experience. Your choice comes down to nursery theme and personal style: the cow fits farm or barnyard decor, while the guitar appeals to music-loving families.
Same safe materials, different shapes
Smiling Tree uses sustainably harvested hardwood for both teethers, with no oils or finishes applied. This means every teether is non-splintering and silky smooth, making it safe for your baby to chew. The only difference is the shape, which affects how your baby grips and interacts with the toy.
The Guitar Wood Teether features a long neck and body that gives little hands multiple grasping points. The Cow Wood Teether has a compact, rounded shape that is easier for younger babies to hold. Both are designed to soothe sore gums without any synthetic materials.
How shape affects play and soothing
The guitar shape encourages imaginative play as your baby grows, turning into a pretend instrument. The cow shape is more straightforward and fits well into a farm-themed nursery. Both teethers are lightweight and easy for babies to lift and chew.
Neither shape has sharp edges or small parts, so you can let your baby explore safely. The guitar's curved edges and the cow's rounded body both provide gentle pressure on gums without causing discomfort.
