A silicone teething mitten for babies from newborn to 6 months, worn on the hand instead of held. An adjustable wrist strap keeps it on, so the teether stays in place rather than dropping to the floor.

How it works

The Olababy mouthing mitten turns a baby's own hand into a teether: a textured silicone surface covers the hand and gives direct gum pressure where the baby is already mouthing. Silicone does not absorb moisture, so it keeps hands dry instead of becoming a soggy wrap the way a cotton scratch mitt can.

Fasten the hook-and-loop strap snugly at the wrist and it stays on through tummy time, car rides and stroller walks. For extra soothing, chill the mitten in the refrigerator, not the freezer.

Why parents choose it

  • Worn at the wrist, so a baby who cannot grip yet still has a teether
  • Hook-and-loop strap fits wrists 3.5" to 4.7" around (90-120 mm)
  • Textured surface puts gum pressure right where a baby already mouths
  • Translucent silicone shows hand movement without removing the mitten
  • Two mittens per pack, so one is on while the other is washed

Who it is for

What teether works before a baby can hold one?

One worn on the hand. Teething often starts at 3 to 4 months, before a baby can grip a teether, so a handheld one keeps falling. This silicone mitten is worn on the hand, stays in place with an adjustable wrist strap, and gives textured gum pressure where your baby is already mouthing. It is made for 0 to 6 months, and the pack holds two mittens, so one is always clean.

Good fit for
  • A baby too young to hold and aim a teether. Tagged 0 to 6 months, and the product copy notes teething can start at 3 to 4 months.
  • The hand chewing and drooling stage, with an adjustable wrist strap so it stays on.
  • Two mittens, so one is always clean.
Not right for
  • A baby who can already hold a teether and simply pulls the mitten off.
  • A toddler well past the mouthing stage.
  • Anyone wanting a chilled gel teether. This is silicone only.

A mitten teether meets babies where their motor skills are, they can self-soothe by mouthing before they can reliably hold a teether.

More about this one

Is 2 months too early for a teether?

No, not for the Olababy mouthing mitten, which is sized for babies from newborn to 6 months. Because it straps on at the wrist, a 2-month-old does not need to grip or aim it. The textured silicone sits where the baby already mouths, and it keeps hands dry during the hand-chewing months.

When should babies stop using a teething mitten?

The Olababy mouthing mitten is made for 0 to 6 months, so its job ends around then, or sooner once a baby can hold a teether and simply pulls the mitten off. It fits wrists from 3.5" to 4.7" (90-120 mm) around. From 6 months, the Olababy food feeder set takes over with frozen puree cubes, and many families start solids around then.

More questions (6)

What is a teething mitten and how does it work?

It is a soft silicone mitt your baby wears on their hand, with textured soothing surfaces to gnaw on for gum relief. Because the mitten is worn rather than held, it cannot be dropped or thrown like a handheld teether, a real advantage before your baby has a steady grasp.

Will it protect my baby’s hands from drool?

Yes, that is a quiet bonus. Constant mouthing can leave little hands chapped, and the mitten keeps a soft silicone layer between skin and drool. It rinses clean and is dishwasher safe (top rack).

Is this safe for my baby?

Yes. Olababy feeding products are made from 100% high-purity food-grade silicone with no fillers, free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, and tested to FDA food-contact standards.

How do I clean and sterilize it?

Silicone products are dishwasher safe (top rack) and can be sterilized in boiling water or a steam sterilizer. Air-dry fully before storing.

What if it does not work for us?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery (see our return policy for details). US shipping is free on orders over $49.

Why Olababy

Every feeding product is one material, food-grade silicone, soft enough for gums that are still teething and inert enough to go through a dishwasher for years. The panel above names what is in it and what is kept out of it.

Olababy has designed in Portland, Oregon since 2015, with parents testing the things their own children eat from.

    Saved my son's hands from eczema flare-ups

    My 4-month-old was chewing his hands raw before he could hold a teether, and his eczema on the backs of his hands was getting worse from all the drool. Got the mint 2-pack and it's been a game changer — the texture actually seems to soothe his gums, and because it's worn like a mitten he can't fling it across the room like his other teethers. I toss one in the fridge for extra relief when his gums are really bothering him. Only downside is it took a couple days for him to stop trying to pull it off with his other hand, but now he doesn't even notice it's there. Dishwasher safe too, which matters a lot at 2am. Wish I'd bought this in the newborn stage instead of week 12.

When can a baby start baby led weaning?

The American Academy of Pediatrics says babies are usually ready to start solid foods at around 6 months, and that some infants may be ready as early as 4 months. It adds that each child's readiness depends on their own rate of development.

Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter?

Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full?

Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves?

Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills.

What if my baby is unsure about a new texture?

Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.
