Q.

Are teether recommended for infants as I've read and heard they should not suck on their thumb...Isn't it almost the same thing

A. It is advised to buy toys that are specifically meant for teething. Teethers that are liquid-filled or have plastic objects that could break, cause injury, or choking should be avoided. The teethers should be phthalate and BPA (bisphenol A) free because these chemicals can be harmful to the baby.
