Tiger Tribe Silicone Baby Teether - Bear

This silicone baby teether is shaped like a bear and made from soft, food-grade silicone with varied textures across its surface. Designed for babies from birth to around 18 months, it gives sore gums something safe to press against during the long stretch of teething.

Texture where it counts

Teething relief comes from counter-pressure, so the surface of a teether matters more than its shape. Ridges, smooth curves and raised detail across the bear give a baby different sensations to seek out, and the material is firm enough to push against without being hard.

Key features

• Food-grade silicone, free from BPA, phthalates, PVC, cadmium and lead
• Lightweight ring profile sized for small hands to clutch and turn
• Multiple textures across one surface for varied gum relief
• No small parts, seams or removable pieces
• Washes in warm soapy water and air dries quickly
• Slim enough to clip into a pram caddy or nappy bag

Grip strength and fine motor practice

Beyond teething, a ring teether is one of the first objects a baby learns to hold deliberately. Grasping, rotating and bringing it to the mouth builds hand-eye coordination and the grip strength that later feeds into self-feeding and holding a crayon.

When teething starts

Most babies begin teething somewhere between four and seven months, though it can start earlier or arrive without warning at ten. Having a teether already in the drawer means you are not hunting for one at 2am on the night it begins. Keep two in rotation so one is always clean and ready.

Part of the Tiger Tribe bear range

Tiger Tribe is an Australian design-led brand creating toys that nurture confidence and creativity in kids. This teether matches the bear silicone rattle and the Roly Poly bear, making it easy to build a coordinated newborn gift. Always supervise use, and replace the teether if you notice any tears or damage to the silicone.
