Silicone Straws, or teether tubes which are very popular, by now you’ve probably had your social media bombarded with pictures of adorable little babies chewing on these little brightly colored teething tubes with ridges on them. Also, it may cause a gagging harzard, so that many parents can not believe this isn't a choking hazard. As the silicone teether supplier, let's talk about this.
Should you buy some of these teething tubes? Do babies really love them as much as all the videos and pictures show? Is it safe for baby chewing?
What makes the silicone chew straw toy so popular?
Super lightweight – lighter than nearly any other teethers in the market
Easy for baby to hold – Babies could grip this really early on
Suitable for all teething age ranges – most teethers only work well for young babies or for the molars. It’s hard to find a one size fits all like these teething tubes.
Easy to clean – They are dishwasher safe or you can simply give them a quick scrub in the sink.
Durable material – To stand up to aggressive chewers
Although many parents give positive comments, there are still many people who hold different views on teething tube silicone straws.
Compared with its benefits, its negative effects cannot be ignored.
No guard to keep baby from gagging themselves
Simple design – May not keep older babies entertained.
No clip or attachment to baby – Easy to lose and dirty on the ground, stained with bacteria.
The vast majority of negative reviews stem from the first reason. It is designed in the shape of a small-aperture straw, which makes it easy for children to send to the throat when using it, causing very strong discomfort.
We know that the shape of a small-aperture straw will not get stuck in the throat and cause chocking harzard, but this will make parents very worried. If it hurts the throat or swallows it by mistake, this risk is unacceptable to parents who care about their children. So some parents even prefer calling this chocking harzard than gagging harzard.
How to choose the right straw for baby teething?
First of all, it must be at least a food-grade silicone straw, which is non-toxic and soft, which is very suitable for baby's gums. And it would be better if there were holes to string the teething necklace rope, so it can be hung as a teething necklace pendant.
The most important, the silicone chew straw teething tubes need to be used under the supervision of parents.
You can also choose a baby teether or a pacifier with a soothing chain for your baby to use.
