## What it is

Babies chew their hands raw before they can hold a teether. Teething often starts at 3 to 4 months, but palmar grasp doesn't develop until 5 to 6 months. In that window, every conventional teether falls the moment you hand it over. The Mouthing Mitten is worn on the hand, so the hand itself becomes the teether. Because it is worn on the hand, it stays in place instead of falling to the floor.

### Works from day one through month six

Newborns (0 to 3 months): Replaces cotton scratch mitts that soak through with saliva. Silicone doesn't absorb moisture: it keeps hands dry and prevents face scratching without becoming a soggy wrap.

Pre-grasp teething (3 to 6 months): Textured food-grade silicone surface provides direct gum pressure where baby is already mouthing. Chill in the refrigerator (not freezer) for additional soothing relief on inflamed gums.

### Compatible with teething gels and oils

Apply a small amount of a benzocaine-free teething gel or organic teething oil (chamomile-based oils, Mommy's Bliss Organic, Dr. Talbot's Natural, Boiron Camilia drops) directly to the textured surface. When baby mouths the mitten, the product transfers naturally to the gums, without requiring grasp. Important: the FDA advises against benzocaine-containing products (standard Orajel, Anbesol) for children under 2. Always use infant-safe, benzocaine-free formulas and consult your pediatrician for babies under 3 months.

### Design details

Adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap, fits newborn through 6-month wrists, snug enough to stay on during tummy time, car rides, and stroller walks, with a soft strap designed for comfort

Breathable, translucent silicone, lets you see hand movements without removing the mitten

Reversible: flip inside out to clean; rinse under water and hang to dry, or run through the dishwasher

Lightweight and flexible, doesn't restrict natural hand movement or motor skill development

### What replaces what

Most parents register for cotton scratch mitts (that soak through with drool) and a separate teether (that newborns can't hold). The Mouthing Mitten replaces both in one product, from the hospital bag through month six.

## What is included

2 Olababy Clear Sense silicone mouthing mittens with adjustable wrist straps. Comes in soft, translucent, gender-neutral tones that coordinate with the full Olababy collection.

## Independent guidance on infant feeding

- 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. Source: Ifunanya A. Agbim, MD, FAAP; Christine Waasdorp Hurtado, MD, FAAP in [American Academy of Pediatrics, Baby-Led Weaning: Is It Safe?, HealthyChildren.org](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/feeding-nutrition/Pages/baby-led-weaning-is-it-safe.aspx)
- What does food grade silicone actually mean? Rubber articles intended for repeated use in contact with aqueous food shall meet the following specifications: The food-contact surface of the rubber article in the finished form in which it is to contact food, when extracted with distilled water at reflux temperature, shall yield total extractives not to exceed 20 milligrams per square inch during the first 7 hours of extraction, nor to exceed 1 milligram per square inch during the succeeding 2 hours of extraction. Source: [US Food and Drug Administration, 21 CFR 177.2600, Rubber articles intended for repeated use, paragraph (e)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-177/subpart-C/section-177.2600)
- When should my child stop using a sippy cup? The American Academy of Pediatrics describes sippy cups as a stage children pass through while they are learning, and says it is healthiest for a child to be drinking from an open cup by around 2 years of age.

- 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. Source: Kimberly Churbock, MD in [Cleveland Clinic, Baby-Led Weaning: What It Is and How To Do It Safely](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/baby-led-weaning)
- 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.

## 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 the right fit 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.
