Baby Teething Lovey ~ FREE Crochet Pattern
Disclaimer: This Post Contains Affiliate Links
Here is my first baby teething lovey for babies and toddlers who are going through their teething stage. The pattern features a nice texture to help stimulate the gums, and also is great for the little hands to play with.
I used a wooden ring, which I purchased on Amazon here: Wooden Teething Rings
Care instructions? There were none, so I washed mine with a mild soap and warm water. Then, I read somewhere online that you can treat them with coconut oil, so I did that too, and so far, so good; and no chips yet.
And if you don’t feel comfortable with wooden rings, you can use plastic rings, or anything else that works. My one tester used a binky, and another used a shower curtain ring for use as a kitchen hand-towel.
