is this product good for babies? my 5 month old likes to chew on paper

The paper is made from starch and it's consumption should be limited in any way you would limit starch in your infants diet. Starches are polysacharides and are broken down into sugars which might be problematic if your child were diabetic, depending on the quantity eaten. If you intend on writing on the "paper" consideration should be given to possible toxicity of the inks you might be using. The paper dissolves quickly on the tongue in small quantities. Larger quantities might form a gluey mass and pose a choking hazard (as would regular paper).

When my baby was about six months old - she did not have any teeth and we were ready for solids! It is a great product - we used it mostly for fruits (frozen and fresh) but you can put anything in it

I wouldn't start using it until 6 month or so. It's not the most comfortable for infants and u will have to bend down a lot since it doesn't have an infant bed on top like most play pens.

Sorry, I don't know about the taste. However, the tablets are small. You could also cut them in half or quarters and then have your child swallow as I don't believe they are meant to be chewed.

I remember we gave them to my daughter as soon as she had her first teeth. I would say on the few months. Even if she play with them (I mean putting in her mouth without eating it) they are very helpful to keep her calm. Now that she is 16 month old...she doesn't want them anymore. So just try to gave them the biscuits (they are very very light and brakes easily, so no danger at all).

Because this is made for babies, and they are at that "put everything in sight in the mouth" stage, I believe the plastic would be nontoxic. My granddaughter chews on it constantly.

yes, you can use it as a teether. the basic trick will be if your 4 month old has the dexterity yet to hold it. it's heavier than your average pacifier, but not as heavy as a 2oz of liquid in a bottle. My son liked this from about 4-5 months when he started teething. He chewed all sides of it. good luck.

I would say actually 3 month+ are okay if parents keep eye on baby! Baby will start biting the letters after 1 yr old....

We used this until baby was about 5 months but only for short periods. Too much time in this can cause neck problems or flat heads in infants.

I would say its fine, as there's nothing on it that could come off and pose a choking hazard and its super soft and lightweight. As for whether a 7 month old will be interested in playing with it, that totally depends on the child. My daughter got hers when she was a year old, but I don't think she'd have been interested in it for long at 7 months, but according to some other reviewers others love it at that age. Honestly, my daughter loved hers at first, then quickly lost interest (I'd say within the month). However, she's now 2 and a half, and has recently rediscovered it and is in love with it.

sorry i don't know but instead of using that i found babies don't really get problem with teething ache. also, although they said it's natural, i don't think that's good to put more unnecessary things into your baby's mouth other than foods. i suggest save ur money and get more organic foods to your LO than using this thing

My children are 1 and 3 y. o. and they enjoy them, the 3 yo can fit them in his mouth, I had to teach him not to. The other one just chews on them but they have not been a problem.

Not at all! It's about the size of a yogurt container, and quite safe. My 15 month old still chews on his.

I would wait until your kids are a little older. I would start using it around 3. The tablets to have an ingredient that makes them bitter so the kids don't eat them. But they still like to put things in their mouths at your kids age.

I don't know how big a 5 year old's mouth is. I would try the slim model. The bite wings are about 2 inches apart.

Depends on the child. My 2.5 year old would have no problem with this. He even plays with teeny tiny lego pieces. He doesn't chew on stuff at all. But I know kids around the same age who still try to put stuff in their mouth so like I said, it really depends on the child.

My baby has used his for 6 months now. He's just turned 11 months and even with six teeth, it's going strong. It's made of silicone I believe. I usually stick it in the dishwasher as well.
