There seems to be something in the water for babies born in the same year as Addie, all of the babies we know have been early teethers. What gives? I do not recall our oldest starting teething so early on. Addie started drooling, having bright red cheeks, and wanting to chew on things at 3 months old. We needed to get some teethers for her, and fast. Thankfully Nawgum came to our rescue, and sent us out one of their cactus teethers for her to try! It has become a loved addition to the chewable items we have for her.
You might have noticed with the arrival of all the Spring and Summer items in store that anything Cactus is everywhere, and we love that this teether is also in a cactus shape. It’s perfectly on trend. It’s also a perfect shape for chewing on. Addie is able to grab it on her own with her pudgy little hands by the arms of the cactus, and she happily rotates it to different parts to gnaw on. I wasn’t sure if she would ever use the little circular knobs on either side, but sure enough she did. The main part of it is smooth, but there are different textures across several parts of it allowing her to choose what she wants. Now, my daughter loves to chew on her fingers, and Mom and Dad’s fingers too. Another thing about the cactus shape that is great is that the arms of it are similar to the shape of a finger which provide a much needed drool break for parents!
What is it made of? The Nawgum teether is made of non-porous, seamless, food-grade silicone. It is non-toxic, and BPA free. The founder, and creator behind these is a mom who wanted a simple, and safe product that would comfort children. She sure has done it with this!
As a parent I want things that you can easily clean this by hand, or even toss it into the top rack of the dishwasher. Both of which you can do with this. This cactus has been to the beach and back, on car rides, and so much more. All of which I was thankful for the fact that I could easily clean it for my daughter to use again. With it being seamless I do not have to worry about water or other things getting into it. As with any chew toy though do keep an eye on it, and give it a once over to make sure that your child has not gnawed a hole into it, or left bite marks.
While we are still waiting for Addie’s first tooth to break through, I know this cactus will be will loved by her and used lots. I do not fear her molars coming in because I know she will be able to chew away on this for some needed relief.

Totally adorable! My daughter is too old for teethers, but if she was the right age, she would love this.
My first son was an early teether, he started at 3months on Christmas day. Not fun! My second was a late teether 11 or so months and then he got a mouth full at once. My current baby she is 10months and has been getting them since 9 months we have 4 in total now and most of them came when we were away in Florida.
My son is an early teether, chewing on everything! I like that the teether is bpa free and dishwasher safe.
It looks like a really great teething toy. I wish that they had these around when my daughter was a baby.
My daughter is an early teether as well. Still struggling to find something besides her fingers (and ours) that she likes. This teether looks great!
My son has been an early teether but nothing has come thru yet. My daughter had all teeth by age 1!
I like that there are different textures on the teether and different lengths to it. It will be a good teether for any and all teeth that come in.

I’d love to win
These look like great teethers!
My son’s first tooth came at 8 months
My sonès first came in at 4 months, my daughters came in at 8 months.
I am expecting my first baby in 7 days!! I like that the NawGum is BPA Free.
Entered! My little guy would love this!
I’m always looking for different feathers. My kids never liked the regular ones. Cute baby btw!
What a great teething toy! The cactus is the perfect shape! I wish I had this when my little one was young.
I have GOT to try this. My 7 mos. old has been teething since he was 3 months old also and we have tried everything short of whiskey and Orajel. I hope I win but either way, I’m getting this.
I’m so sorry! I hope this does help your 7 month old. Please let me know either way
My first daughter started teething early, at around 6 months and the drooling didn’t stop for months and months.
For my last baby we switched to only natural material teethers but of course he preferred to teeth on any toy his older siblings left out. He was an early teether but it took ages for the teeth to appear. I like that the nawgum has so many paces to teeth on
Early teether and finding it hard to find the right teether that he likes. I like this one as it is bpa free and dishwasher safe.
My daughter is almost 6 months old. No teeth yet but lots of drool, chewing and grumpy days for the last few months.
These look really awesome. Too bad I’m beyond the “teething” stage (although, my oldest chews on everything still at almost 4… may have to give this a try after all
)
Would love this for my 5 month tether
I don’t know if we will have an earlier teether – I’ll have to wait until he or she arrives in July!
Our first was a late teether – well, late with the first tooth actually showing up, but the two bottom ones just suddenly appeared when she was 8 months. I’m due with our second in the end of July, so we’ll see!
Teether shapes have sure come along way from the choice of circle or pretzel when my kids were babies.
My kids were both about the 8-9 month mark when they got their first tooth. What I love about the Nawgum is it is dishwasher safe plus easy for the child to grip.
