Chewy Tubes Q Teething Ring in Orange Teether(Orange)

Babies love Chewy Qs! Introduce babies to their first mouthing and teething experiences with a Chewy Q, the innovative flexible and soothing first teether from Chewy Tubes. The smooth chewing surface of this stage 1 teether is perfect for baby’s new gums. Chewy Qs leave the mouth open for breathing and sound play. And Chewy Qs are easily grasped by little fingers. Chewy Qs are made in Maine and like all Chewy Tubes brand products, Chewy Qs are free of latex, lead, BPA, PVC and phthalates. Each Chewy Q is approximately 3” in diameter and ½” thick. Chewy Qs support:1.Graded up and down jaw motion needed for biting and chewing skills. Using the stem-like protrusion as an object of oral interest, an infant of 5 to 7 months will naturally move the stem to the side of the jaw to bite on it. This biting input helps to mature and strengthen the masseter muscle which is in charge of closing the jaw for biting, chewing and talking.2.The development of healthy upper and lower dentition by eliminating the risk of an open bite (space between the upper & lower front teeth that prevents complete closure) due to rigorous pacifier use or thumbsucking.3.Healthy alignment of the upper and lower teeth laterally by preventing improper positioning due to aggressive sucking on the pacifier.4.Mature tongue movement by providing tactile stimulation and interaction with the stem-like protrusion of the Q for side-to-side tongue exploration. This stimulation is especially important at 5 months (and beyond) when the baby’s tongue naturally develops a horizontal plane of movement inside the mouth.
