Quick answer
Cool the fish teether in the fridge (not freezer) for a safe, soothing chew that helps relieve your baby's teething pain.
Why a fish teether works well for second-stage teething
When your baby moves past the first few months, their gums need firmer, more textured relief. A fish teether is specially designed for this stage. Its waterfilled body stays cool for longer, and the combination of smooth and textured areas gives your baby different sensations to bite down on.
The easy-to-grip fish shape also helps little hands hold it independently. This makes it a practical choice for babies who are starting to explore objects on their own.
Important safety notes before you start
Always check the teether for any damage or wear before each use. If the waterfilled seal is broken, discard the teether immediately. Do not freeze the teether — freezing can damage the internal water bladder and make it too hard for your baby's sensitive gums.
Also, avoid tying the teether to a pacifier clip or string longer than 12 inches, as this poses a choking or strangulation risk. Supervision is essential every time your baby chews.
How to use a fish teether safely
- Cool the teether in the fridge: Place the fish teether in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before use. Do not put it in the freezer. A common mistake is freezing the teether, which can damage the waterfilled interior and make it uncomfortably hard for your baby.
- Check the teether before each use: Squeeze the teether gently to check for leaks or cracks. If you see any damage, discard the teether immediately. A waterfilled teether that leaks can pose a choking hazard.
- Supervise your baby during use: Always stay within arm's reach while your baby chews on the teether. Never attach it to a pacifier clip or long string. The teether is designed for independent use, but babies still need your watchful eye. After each use, rinse the teether with warm water and mild soap, then air dry. Replace every few months or at the first sign of wear.
