How do I used it for my 4 month old? Is it okay for him to chew it like a teether?

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.

Yes, it's totally a teether. It's a rubbery silicone teether. My twin girls love theirs. Feels good to chew on and easy for baby to hold.

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.

Great question. I Have not read anything on it. The suggested use is up to 6 months. My LO is 8 and does not have teeth yet, and I believe that is because both my husband and I had teeth later in age.

My daughter is 9 months old. But this wafer melted in her mouth, she didn't need to use her teeth just the pressure of her gums would have been enough. If your baby has the chewing motions down then it shouldn't be a problem.

Depends on the age of your child. We used this exclusively until about 5.5 months when our daughter starter to sit up. It is not that tall and with movement (rolling etc) it is not as sturdy as a pack and play. After that time we just switched over and gave ours to a friend to use.

My daughter is 9 months old... I got it for her about a month ago... She likes to take them off the stick and chew on them. She shakes the red one.. But that's about it... At 4 months my daughters favorite toys were baby Einstein balls.. She still plays with them. They are around the same price too.. If she doesn't have them yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G8QSXU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418260013&sr;=8-1π=AC_SY200_QL40#immersive-view_1418260022524

I have a 3 year old and 18 month old that have used these since they were 6 months old - starting to teethe. I have never had an issue. Frequently they do chew on the other end but never had a risk of choking. Just need to watch when they use it. I am always scared if they use it while walking they could trip and fall and get hurt so I only let them use it while sitting of strapped in car seat.

I wouldnt recommend it before 1 month. I started using it at about 1 month. I needed to watch him closely because he didn't have head control and would slump to the side occasionally. At 1 month he wasn't focusing on the toys so I didn't put those on at that time. He loved the vibrations early on! Now he is 4 months and loves the toys. I hook other toys on for variety.

Toothbrush! It's a great intro for baby. Mine likes to chew on it, but I onky give it to her during teeth brushing time. It has small silicone bristles that yiu can rub against teeth and gums.

There is always the possibility with any type of E-collar for chewing. The best you can do is make sure that you purchase one that's long enough for his nose. This ensures he can't get his mouth around it very easily.

I got this for my little girl when she was 2 for Christmas, as long as he is past the stage of putting things in his mouth its perfect for kids that age. But as mentioned there are bolts and screws that come with the workshop so if he still sticks things in his mouth ya might wanna avoid getting it.

I am still using mine and she is 5 months. I would probably use it until she can sit up. However, just like the other comments, it's great for other uses such as if you need to lay the child down for anything...it's super soft and spongy!

My kids all started teething at 4 months, so they were wearing them before that. I bought one for a friend as well. All my friends have started their babies wearing them at least as early as 4 months. My 18 month old has been wearing his since then and has only had it off a handful of times. I have never had a problem with it even when it seemed a bit big at first.

Nothing wrong... It's just is deep. 4.5 months old is still too young to use this product. I tried that with my son when he's about that age.. Too deep so i removed the toy tray because it's right in his face. Never put that piece back... He enjoyed looking around at that age then he started learned to jump so on... I guess they made that deep for safety reason.

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 my baby girl hasn't had that issue as of yet, she's 9 months. Has 7 teeth now! My older 5 just did their thing. I believe they make a plastic rail cover that is flexible and just pops on pretty cheap. Easy to put on. One of those should work. Sometimes a few teeth imprints might make a good memory.
