Box Contains 1 x Matchstick Monkey Teething Toy; 1x Instruction Manual Review: Excellent teether for teething babies - Best teether ever . I bought it for my 4 month old boy and he loves it. Light and easy to hold. Review: Best teether my baby owns - I bought various teethers all at once when I noticed my baby had begun to teeth early (just gone 3 months). Having worked with children for multiple years, the matchstick teether comes across as a clear favourite. So now I have my own little one, I knew I’d be buying this as one of her first teethers. She too loves it, and chews on it daily. I have it attached to a dummy chain for her, so she can keep it close by and safe from dropping on the floor. I think she particularly enjoys it also because it’s one of the tethers she can hold with ease. This is especially helpful with younger babies, who are just beginning to learn how to hold and grasp objects. The monkey arms/handles and small and perfect size for her little grip. She has no problem with guiding the tiny head towards her mouth also. Sometimes she likes to use it the other way round and chew on his feet for the back of her gums. I will occasionally massage her gums using this teether and she lovesss this. Very soothing it seems. Even more of a bonus when using it to apply teething gel. Gives a lovely soothing massage to sore itchy gums πŸ‘πŸ½β€οΈ ## Features - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - Fun, Flexible SilicOne Teether: Our Innovative, Lightweight SilicOne Teether Toy For Baby Is Bright And Eye-Catching. the Perfect Teething Toy For Babies To Play And Soothe.

If so, for how long? Thanks** A: I normally sterilise the monkey in the microwave, usually for 3 minutes. I also sometimes put it in the dishwasher for an overnight wash. Hope that’s helpful **Q: Does it come with a cord and clip? I saw someone with one that did** A: Unfortunately, they don't come with a cord and/or clip it is just the monkey itself **Q: Can this go in the freezer?** A: Yes this is suitable for freezing and refrigeration **Q: If i order this now which colour will i receive? i want the dusty rose but upon looking at description it says blue? Please advise** A: The one I have reviewed is named as β€˜red’ but is more a fuchsia pink colour so not ideal for my son who loves red things, I passed this on to a friend with a little girl. I also ordered the green which is perfect for my son great bright colour and really helps with teething! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent teether for teething babies *by N***N on 16 January 2026* Best teether ever .
