A safe and healthy teething ring: the natural choice for baby

Categories: Advice

How to choose a safe baby teething ring?

When baby is teething, they discover everything with their mouth. That's why it's essential to offer them a safe teething ring, natural and free from toxic substances. At Chambrekids, we are committed to offering products that respect your child's health and that of the planet.

Why the choice of material is crucial

A good teething ring doesn't just soothe gums. It must also be healthy, solid and easy to handle. That's why Chambrekids favors untreated natural wood, 100% natural rubber and organic cotton. These raw materials, carefully chosen, are safe, plastic-free, phthalate-free and BPA-free.

Risks to avoid at all costs

Many plastic rings or those from supermarkets contain substances harmful to babies. Here's what you should avoid:

BPA: an endocrine disruptor still present in some plastics.
Phthalates: banned for children's products in many countries.
PVC: it may contain heavy metals (lead, cadmium).
Toxic paints: beware of the presence of solvents or uncertified varnishes.

🌱 At Chambrekids, we have been committed for 15 years already to an ecological and eco-responsible approach in the manufacturing of our products

Wood & natural rubber: safe, durable and gentle materials for gums

Chambrekids teething rings are made from wood from sustainable forests (FSC/PEFC) covered with cotton or 100% natural rubber from rubber tree sap. No chemical treatment is used.

💡 Untreated wood has naturally antibacterial properties. And vegetable rubber is both flexible and resistant: perfect for soothing gums while reaching the most sensitive areas.

How to identify a truly healthy teething ring?

Here are the 4 key points to check:

1️⃣ Safety standards

The product must bear the CE marking and comply with the EN71 standard (parts 1, 2 and 3). This guarantees the absence of detachable parts, chemical risks or dangerous elements.

2️⃣ Composition

Raw wood (unvarnished), Oeko-Tex certified organic cotton, 100% natural rubber free from BPA and phthalates. At Chambrekids, all materials are selected for their purity and safety.

3️⃣ The shape

The rings should be easy to grab, without sharp edges or small parts. Chambrekids offers playful shapes adapted to small hands from 3 months.

4️⃣ Manufacturing

Opt for French or European production. This guarantees perfect traceability and rigorous quality control.

Benefits for baby: safety, awakening and motor skills

A good teething ring is much more than just a toy to chew on. At Chambrekids, each ring is designed to:

Relieve teething pain with gentle and effective natural textures.
Awaken the senses (sight, touch, taste) with contrasting textures.
Develop fine motor skills by learning to grasp, turn, and bring to the mouth.
Promote autonomy through simple, repeated, secure gestures.

🎁 A useful and ethical gift
A natural teething ring is also a perfect birth gift: it lasts over time, can be passed down, and doesn't pollute. An eco-responsible gesture that makes sense from the first months.

Maintaining your teething ring naturally

Maintenance is simple and quick:

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (like Marseille soap).
Rinse thoroughly then air dry.
Avoid dishwasher, microwave or hot sterilization.
Nourish the wood with a natural vegetable oil, once a month.

⚠️ Replace the ring if it shows cracks, splinters or deformations.

Why choose a Chambrekids teething ring?

Chambrekids offers teething rings in natural wood and 100% soft cotton, as well as a model in 100% natural rubber, all carefully designed for baby's safety and comfort 

Playful and ergonomic design: each ring features "rabbit ears" or fun shapes (bears, animals) that baby can easily grasp with their little hands. This format of about 17×17 cm is ideal for toddlers' grip
Healthy and hypoallergenic materials: the fabric is cotton or velvet cotton (80% cotton - 20% polyester), pleasant and non-irritating to baby's skin. Natural rubber models are guaranteed free from BPA, PVC, phthalates and nitrosamines, in compliance with EN71 standards
Easy maintenance: all textile models are machine washable at 30°C (without tumble drying or bleach), which allows for perfect hygiene in the face of frequent drooling.
Ethical and local commitment: although mainly manufactured outside Europe (India or China for textiles and rubber), Chambrekids guarantees a rigorous selection of partners (ethical factories, Oeko-Tex cotton, PEFC certified wood). And above all, the company is based in La Rochelle, with furniture manufactured locally in its French workshop, a guarantee of traceability and environmental respect.
