Deeds is 15 months old now, and his little gummy grin is rapidly filling in with baby teeth.
When I noticed that he was cranky and attempting to reach his fingers into the back of his mouth, I knew that he must be getting some new teefies back there.
Only a few months ago, Deeds chewed through his paci in a teething frenzy!
I felt sorry for Deeds and actively sought to give him relief.
My usual teething repertoire involves Hyland’s Teething Tablets, a wooden spoon (for chewing), or a large, raw carrot.
Now, I am also happy to add the Teethifier to my bag of teething tricks.
The Teethifier is a funny looking object that is part pacifier, part teether.
Made from 100% FDA approved Santoprene, The Teethifier has two chewy nubs that are designed to reach baby’s back gums.
Your baby can bite and chew The Teethifier so that it gently massages sore gums.
Deeds uses The Teethifier as a teether, usually holding it in his hand to give it a good chew.
He doesn’t walk around with it in his mouth like a pacifier, but if he ever has a terrible teething day, it is good to know that his Teethifier as an option.
Maybe Deeds and Jasper can use their Teethifiers together!

Wow! I wish I had discovered this sooner! All of the teethers we have had for my son were too big to fit in back and he would use his fingers or the top of a Baby Tylenol bottle!! Looks like it will really be effective!
22 November 2008, 6:49 pm
Its a great idea.
22 November 2008, 7:01 pm
Ohh my gosh, that is incredible. It looks so strange but actually makes so much sense! My 8 month old granddaughter, Ambryanna, is teething now and could really use one! I am impressed! Thank you!
22 November 2008, 7:03 pm
maybe it would work for little bitters
22 November 2008, 7:26 pm
This looks a little alien but I know a new little guy who’s teething and he could use this!
22 November 2008, 8:43 pm
Wow! That looks great. It looks like he can manipulate it to chew wherever his gums are sore, but especially in the molar area.
I would love this; my daughter is just beginning to teeth, and she frequently pulls her pacifier out of her mouth to chew on the sides and the ring.
Thanks for the giveaway!
22 November 2008, 9:28 pm
It looks like it massages the gums.
22 November 2008, 9:45 pm
its a little odd looking but it would suit my little one fine
22 November 2008, 10:28 pm
This looks like a great product. From the picture I can tell that he is totally enjoying having that in his mouth. Thanks for the giveaway!

two things…i love this idea. two..why did i not think of it? and i’m twittering now about it!!! oh yes…this is a good thing!
22 November 2008, 11:21 pm
actually looks pretty funny but my little boy could use it this very moment!
22 November 2008, 11:25 pm
It looks brilliant. My 14 month old is miserable, cutting those back teeth. I’d love to try this. She’s never been one to chew teethers pr pacis, but this looks different.

I think it is such a unique idea. I would love to win.
23 November 2008, 12:15 am
It looks odd,but really it looks like it would hit mouth sides of their mouth so it would be great for babies getting in more then one tooth. My son is 9 months and has two in and three top ones just breaking through…so I would love this we are in full swing in my house!

this looks like a product my little niece could use right now. There are a lot of little ones in my family.
23 November 2008, 1:01 am
Looks like it would feel good on their gums, I guess! Thankfully I don’t have any memories of teething!!
It sure is bright yellow. I wonder if it will come in other colors…
23 November 2008, 1:44 am
A little strange looking, but the nubbies on the parts that go inside the mouth look like they’d be very soothing to a little teether!!

I can’t publicly write on here what Naomi said it looked like…just be happy it doesn’t come in eraser-pink!
I think it looks like a flying saucer, beaming up two prickly pears in the desert. But then again I have a wild imagination.
Poor Deeds. Sojo is teething right now and the whole family is miserable as a result. I’m bracing myself for another long night.

My little Eli is teething, and boy is he miserable!
I think the little nub parts look like those bumble balls… remember the ones that bounce around by themselves on your floor? Ok… maybe it’s just me.
I think the prickly pears idea looks about right too, but if it works, who cares!

I think it looks awsome,an ive got a 10 month old grandson who is in bad need right now,genious the way it was made,to be sure you can get both sides at the same time,thanks
23 November 2008, 1:19 pm
It looks like an alien device but makes perfect sense
I like how it makes for an easier transition away from a pacifier.

It does look odd maybe even medieval but as long as it works. I’d like to win it. Count me in.
23 November 2008, 5:03 pm
helpful
23 November 2008, 5:28 pm
Well, it is interesting looking. Most teethers are, though. I like that it looks like a paci. Like they say, it prolly helps with recognizing that it goes in the mouth…
23 November 2008, 5:55 pm
Well it looks like the teethifier gets right back there where the baby needs it ! I think its safer for baby to because it is meant to only go so far as to get that molar area

Wow I love the fact that it is split to reach each side. My little one is teething right now and we could use this.
23 November 2008, 10:51 pm
I really like the idea that there are two large ball like pieces that can reach the little ones back gums with out choking/ gagging them. I also like the little bumpy areas on the 2 round balls. I think it will help comfort the gums!
I would LOVE to try this out on my little one.
24 November 2008, 1:45 am
What a strange looking gagdet! But I’m sure it feels good to get back to those painful molars.
24 November 2008, 1:46 am
I stumbled you (stinawins)!
24 November 2008, 2:32 am
The Teethifier, what more can be said? It looks like a fabulous solution for sore gummies. I would love for my daughter to be able to transition over from nuk and chewing on the fingers to the teethifier, which is tackling both issues with one solution!
24 November 2008, 2:45 am
oh that is so cool!!! My little man is 15 months and has about 5-6 teeth coming in! He’s chewing on EVERYTHING and the picture looks like this might help!

I really like how it’s seperated into two sections, one for each side of the mouth. Thanks so much!!!
24 November 2008, 7:35 am
It’s pretty funny looking, but if it does the job I am all in.

Boy, my daughter could use this now. She has one just going into the teething phase. Please count me in. Thanks!!
24 November 2008, 4:54 pm
hmm..this probably feels soo good once inside the mouth…! It definitely must satisfy the chewing and biting urge. I love it.
24 November 2008, 4:54 pm
i am subscribed to ya. thanks
24 November 2008, 8:12 pm
this is a new way of thinking and I like it
25 November 2008, 2:42 pm
I found the Teethifier a few months ago and had bookmarked the site so I could order a couple before my daughter had her baby. I wish we would have known about these when Lil Man was teething.
25 November 2008, 3:03 pm
My daughter is cutting her 2 year molars right now and it’s hell! This thing is awesome! I love that it will massage her gums and hopefully help those molars break through easier.
25 November 2008, 3:07 pm
To be quite honest, it looks a bit…adult, but it looks like it would feel good on those little gums. I wish I had had this for my daughter but at least my little boy.

I love it. It doesn’t look like they could choke themselves on it, but it looks like it would be great for both sides of the mouth at the same time!
Thanks!

It looks like it would work wonderfully to ease the pain from teething and save the baby’s precious little fingers. Thanks for the great giveaway!
26 November 2008, 12:41 pm
except for the “nipple”, it looks just like a pacifier, and the baby looks just as pleased

29 November 2008, 12:29 am
It looks great. It would be just perfect for my son right now
29 November 2008, 1:26 am
I like that it reaches the rear molars
29 November 2008, 3:13 am
It’s a little odd looking, but certainly seems like it would get to those back gums and provide some relief. (For those who give babies a carrot, did you know it helps to pop it in the freezer first? Of course, it will only work on one side at a time.)
29 November 2008, 3:32 pm
looks unique - neither of my children or grandchildren would take a pacifier - will have to see about the newest grandchild - if so this looks like a great option!
30 November 2008, 3:05 am
It looks like it would work great on the back teeth.
30 November 2008, 8:04 pm
Looks a little unconvential, but if it works, that is all that matters!
01 December 2008, 2:00 am
This would have come in handy for me when my son was teething. Although I have one on the way I would love to be prepared for what I experienced 5 years ago LOL. And from the looks of the picture, it seems as though it would massage itchy gums the only thing that worries me is if the child would be able to chew off the ball thingys lol with the 2 front teeth or all front teeth for that matter..? lol thats kinda scray.
01 December 2008, 3:04 am
Sounds good

a great baby gift idea
01 December 2008, 1:12 pm
The look of anticipation on hos face shows me how effective it is at relieving teething discomfort — my daughter will be teething soon and I’ll have to see about getting her one (if I don’t win that is
)
01 December 2008, 4:57 pm
I like how it can reach the back teeth
01 December 2008, 9:09 pm
Sounds like a great idea. Yes, trying to find objects which will reach bath that far & soothe is somethimes difficult. I know a little one that could sure use one.

Wow, that is pretty weird looking. It’d be great for when my twins start their teething.

The Teethifier sounds very useful!
