I would recommend trying a different product instead. My 9-month-old daughter has 7 teeth and is a strong biter/chewer. We both thought this banana was the cutest toothbrush ever. We "brushed" with it for 2 days and I let her play with and chew it for a bit after each brush, supervised. On day 3 I washed the toothbrush and noticed that about 5 of the rubber bristles were partially or fully chewed off and missing. Sure enough, the bristles have since turned up in her diaper. Althought I considered sending the item back for refund, we will keep it for teeth brushing only. She is no longer allowed to use it as a teether, even with me watching since I didn't notice the bristles breaking off before. Please beware of this before deciding to purchase...I would not have bought it had I known.

We loved this teether for about three days, until we lost it. :( My son really enjoyed it, as he doesn't care for round-shaped teethers but prefers ones he can jam into his mouth. The brush seemed soothing on his little gums and the peel handles were easy for him to grasp. My only complaint is that like all silicone stuff, it picks up lint like mad, so you can't put it down, say, on the couch, but the bag it comes in is handy as a storage bag. We held onto it just long enough for his bottom teeth to pop through, then lost it in a restaurant. Boo hoo.

It is silicone teether that is shaped as a toothbrush. My baby 1 year old and had it for few months. She is chewing on handles, toothbrush part and the other side. It is not her favorite teether, but she uses it occasionally. I gave it 3 stars because the product is misrepresented. It does not develop good hygiene, and it is not training toothbrush. Infants will not learn to manipulate it in their mouth, they will chew on it. Nor does it massage gums any better than anything else babies put in their mouth. It is regular teether, just overpriced. Whoever buys it still needs to wipe their baby teeth after meals and brush it before bedtime with finger toothbrush. The teether does nothing to clean baby teeth or to train the baby in tooth brushing.

Update: When baby began using teether heavily, she started biting off tether bristles one by one. After she bit off half of them, I cut the rest, and baby stopped using the teether shortly after that.

I bought this item a few days ago because my 5 month old son is teething. He's been having a hard time lately. I didn't really want to spend the $9 I paid for this but I am glad I did. He absolutely loves this thing. I don't have to listen to him crying because his gums are hurting and he is back to his joyful, fun-loving self. He even likes it when I brush his gums with it too. But mainly I let him old on to it and chew on it by himself (under my supervision, of course). I only wish that I had found this sooner. I feel like it is a must have for any little one soon to be getting teeth.

Got this for my then 7 month old daughter and she loved it! She loves chewing on every part of her banana brush. I make a game out of brushing her teeth (no toothpaste, yet) with it and it makes her laugh every time. She is almost 9 months old now and still loves it.

The only bad thing about this product is that due to the material that it is made of, it attracts dust, dirt, and hair like you wouldn't believe. You think your floor is clean, but the banana hits the floor and you have to rinse it off before giving it back to baby.

Despite that, I still love it. And with the little handles, you can attach a paci clip to it so it won't hit the floor when out and about!

My friend bought me the banana brush teether at a trade show and my daughter loves it. It's very easy for her to hold and she likes the way the brush feels on her gums. It's great for me because my daugther does not like to sit in her stroller, but so long as she has her banana teether, she's fine! I'm very glad my friend found this great product. I just bought three for my other friends who have babies.

Like any toy, you need to monitor your child while he's using this, they can gag themselves with it. My 5 month old loves this. Love meaning he's really into it for about 5-10 minutes which is about 3-8 minutes longer than any of his other teethers. Like any toy, he gets frustrated with it after it fails to produce any milk =)

This is a good training brush for my toddler. She only has a few teeth so the bristles are effective enough and because it is flexible and has handles I can let her run around with it and get used to the motion and feeling of brushing. This is aimed towards younger babies, but my toddler is late getting her teeth so I'm very happy with my purchase.

I had a finger toothbrush for my daughter but she kept trying to chew through my finger and wouldn't let me take my finger away either, so that's when I started looking for an alternative. We have tons of teethers, ones with water, that vibrate... but aside from Sophie the Giraffe, my daugther was only interested in teething on my finger tooth brush. I decided to give the banana brush a try and I am so glad I did! She is very particular about the kind of silicon/ rubber that she like to teeth on and this is the perfect consistency. It's pretty soft and it's super easy for her to hold onto on her own. The only down side is that I have two dogs in my home and as much as I vacuum there is always hair on the brush, so I have to clean it every time before I give it to her. But I would highly recommend this to any mom who has a teething baby that has difficult holding onto and maneuvering teethers.

Our 7 month old is teething and really digs the baby banana brush. It is pretty easy for him to hold and all of it's surfaces are good for chewing.
Good product!
