Babies 6 Months and Older

In order to help baby soothe, we’ve developed edible options to help soothe teething babies 6 months and older who are accustomed to eating solid foods.

  • Soothe 'n' Chew teething sticks, for babies 6 months and older: Made with wholesome grains and real banana, this long-lasting edible teething stick is the first of its kind and has a firm texture to help soothe teething gums while your baby mouths the stick. Gerber Soothe ‘n’ Chew is designed to soften slowly into crumbs as baby chews. You can find Soothe 'n' Chew exclusively at Walmart.
  • Gentle Teething Wafers, for 7 months and older:  This teether begins to dissolve easily right away. Each wafer is flavored with real juice, fruits, and veggies for your little one. The easy-to-grip design encourages self-feeding and helps soothe teething gums.
  • Teether Wheels, for crawlers 10 months and older:  Teether Wheels are a firm snack that softens into small flat pieces for baby to chew. The large shape is perfect for babies to hold, grasp and mash.
