This teether is magic! So many of my mommy books said that babies need something soft to use as a teether. That couldn't be father from the truth. They need something hard. After a friend recommended Palumba I bought one of their teethers from their website. When I gave it to my daughter she was holding it and looking at it with intense eyes. And then she put it in her mouth and it was like a soothing wind caught her breath and made everything roses. Pure magic!

Suggestion: Put a little water on it and put it in the fridge for a while.

Also, it is hand made in the USA, NOT CHINA - thank god!

I liked this product so much, I am back to buy 3 more of them as gifts for the holidays. You get two teething rings for the price, we keep one upstairs and the other downstairs.

When we first got it, my wife was a bit taken aback by it being wood (it seemed too hard to her), but now that we have had it for a few months she has made a 180 degree about face and loves it. Our daughter loves it as well, it's by far her favorite toy to sooth her gums with.

For me it was important to find a product that was natural and free of toxins. In the EU they have banned teethers that contain PVC, here in the US it is still legal.

The product has a very light finish, almost nothing on it which was rinsed off when we first washed it. The wood itself is quite soft and does not splinter or anything like that. The shape of the teether is nice as well, lots of different options for the baby. It is also the perfect size for babies 3 to 4 months when the first start to clutch and bring things to their mouth, most teethers are a little bigger but this is great for small hands and mouths.

Highly recommend it, and the shipping was extremely fast as well.

It came in lovely tissue paper with instruction how to care which left me disappointed first only because I didn't know I needed a wood oil or bee wax. Well, you can substitute with good old olive oil which is better because it gave lovely scent as well. My little one who is 4 months old now immediately attracted and trying to grab and use it. He had quite of time playing with it when we all had dinner in peace. The only reason I give 4 star is because the inside of the ring wasn't as smooth as I want to be. It had little wood grains. (not sharp chips but definitely NOT smooth) As I am writing this review I am still trying to rub it down with my hand or if this doesn't get better I might just get a fine sand paper and sand it down. Otherwise, it's a great little teether which is also very beautiful.

I bought this teether hoping to avoid the ubiquitous "made in China" plasticware that most teethers are... I think I had higher hopes for it. My daughter likes it ok, but it is definitely not her favorite chew toy- she likes her Sophie Giraffe much more. It is easy for her to grip and it's very smooth- no splinters, after 4 months- but maybe it's just not her thing. But it's well made and once in a while she will gnaw on it for a bit. Some babies will love it, but she tends to want something slightly softer- cold wash cloths do the trick often, as does the aforementioned rubber giraffe. It's hit or miss but I don't regret trying.

I bought this teething ring a week ago and i could not beleive how tiny it was. I was chocked! my baby girl is 6 month old and starts teething i though this ring was a good idea. But she cannot even hold it with her both hands because it's too small. If you want to buy it, be prepared it doesn't look nothing like on the picture, the size is 2 inches interior diameter, the color is much lighter almost white, the shape is nothing but simple. It is not shiny as the picture shows.Overall it was a desapointement. the only good thing is it's natural and light. I posted a picture of the ring in my daugter's hand.

Our 4.5 month old LOVES this teething ring. The wood is smooth and has a little bit of "grab" to it which I think he likes on his gums. We coated it in the recommended beeswax. This doesn't look like much but our baby LOVES it. We would buy again and we definitely recommend it to our friends who are about to have a baby. Plus - it is wood, not plastic and not chemical filled. Perfect!

This is a GREAT product. My son plays with it all the time, and chews on it when he gets the urge. I was a little surprised at it's size (a bit smaller than expected) but when I realized my little one could hold it with one hand (or two) and hold onto furniture to walk with the other, I couldn't have been more pleased! It's definitely NOT too small, it's the perfect size for a toddlers small hands.

This Teether is a great!. My daughter loves it. It is small enough to fit in her little hands and the most important thing for me is that it is not made out of plastic. She can chew on it all she wants and I don't have to worry that she is filling herself full of toxic chemicals. Great for any infant, not just those that are teething. Well worth the price.

This little teether is the perfect size. My daughter isnt teething yet but Im sure she will love to chew on this. I only wish it was pre-finished with the beeswax your supposed to rub on it. Buy beeswax if your getting this item, or youll have to wait longer to use it.

Yeah, guess which one wins out at our house. Was all excited to get this arguably great product from a great company. You know, feeling like you're doing the best thing for your kid, etc... Oh no, he does think it's a fun thing to throw, and it makes a nice loud noise when it hits the wood floor, but he has yet to bite it once, despite several charming attempts at acting this out by his parents. Toilet paper roll cores, plastic cups, books, garbage can foot pedals....all make more sense to him to bite than this nicely hand carved wooden teether. Note this is not a negative comment on the product itself. Also, since the company recommends coating it with beeswax, that should either be included or available at low cost on the product page.
