How to Choose a Teether Buddy for Your Baby's Stage

Quick answer

Choose Danny the Dog for early teething with gentle rattle and teething rings, or Penny the Pig for later stages when your baby needs weighted comfort and soothing hugs.

Decision rules for choosing a Teether Buddy

• Early teething (3-6 months): Choose Danny the Dog. The teething rings are easy for little hands to grasp, and the gentle rattle engages your baby's senses without being overwhelming.
• Later teething (6-12+ months): Choose Penny the Pig. The weighted hands and feet provide extra comfort and security, which is especially helpful when your baby is more mobile and needs a soothing companion.
• Gifting or double giving: Both buddies give 2 meals to a child in need through the Give Back Buddy collection. Danny the Dog is more playful; Penny the Pig is more cuddly. Consider the baby's current stage, not just age, when gifting.

Product facts

• Teether Buddy Danny the Dog: The Teether Buddy Danny the Dog features a plush friend to cuddle and teething rings to soothe sore gums, plus a gentle rattle. This makes it ideal for younger babies who are just starting to teeth and enjoy sound and texture exploration.

  

• Big Buddy Penny the Pig: Big Buddy Penny the Pig has soft faux fur and gently weighted hands and feet, designed for comfort and hugs. The weighted hands and feet provide a calming, grounding effect that helps older babies self-soothe during more intense teething.
