Mouthing Mitten for Teething Relief (2-Pack)

5.01 review

$9.99

Babies chew their hands raw before they can hold a teether. Teething often starts at 3 to 4 months, but palmar grasp doesn't develop until 5 to 6 months. In that window, every conventional teether falls the moment you hand it over. The Mouthing Mitten is worn on the hand, so the hand itself becomes the teether. Because it is worn on the hand, it stays in place instead of falling to the floor.

    Saved my son's hands from eczema flare-ups

    My 4-month-old was chewing his hands raw before he could hold a teether, and his eczema on the backs of his hands was getting worse from all the drool. Got the mint 2-pack and it's been a game changer — the texture actually seems to soothe his gums, and because it's worn like a mitten he can't fling it across the room like his other teethers. I toss one in the fridge for extra relief when his gums are really bothering him. Only downside is it took a couple days for him to stop trying to pull it off with his other hand, but now he doesn't even notice it's there. Dishwasher safe too, which matters a lot at 2am. Wish I'd bought this in the newborn stage instead of week 12.

More about this one

Works from day one through month six

  • Newborns (0 to 3 months): Replaces cotton scratch mitts that soak through with saliva. Silicone doesn't absorb moisture: it keeps hands dry and prevents face scratching without becoming a soggy wrap.
  • Pre-grasp teething (3 to 6 months): Textured food-grade silicone surface provides direct gum pressure where baby is already mouthing. Chill in the refrigerator (not freezer) for additional soothing relief on inflamed gums.

Compatible with teething gels and oils

Apply a small amount of a benzocaine-free teething gel or organic teething oil (chamomile-based oils, Mommy's Bliss Organic, Dr. Talbot's Natural, Boiron Camilia drops) directly to the textured surface. When baby mouths the mitten, the product transfers naturally to the gums, without requiring grasp. Important: the FDA advises against benzocaine-containing products (standard Orajel, Anbesol) for children under 2. Always use infant-safe, benzocaine-free formulas and consult your pediatrician for babies under 3 months.

Design details

  • Adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap, fits newborn through 6-month wrists, snug enough to stay on during tummy time, car rides, and stroller walks, with a soft strap designed for comfort
  • Breathable, translucent silicone, lets you see hand movements without removing the mitten
  • Reversible: flip inside out to clean; rinse under water and hang to dry, or run through the dishwasher
  • Lightweight and flexible, doesn't restrict natural hand movement or motor skill development

What replaces what

Most parents register for cotton scratch mitts (that soak through with drool) and a separate teether (that newborns can't hold). The Mouthing Mitten replaces both in one product, from the hospital bag through month six.

Who it is for

Good fit for
  • A baby too young to hold and aim a teether. Tagged 0 to 6 months, and the product copy notes teething can start at 3 to 4 months.
  • The hand chewing and drooling stage, with an adjustable wrist strap so it stays on.
  • Two mittens, so one is always clean.
Worth knowing
  • A baby who can already hold a teether and simply pulls the mitten off.
  • A toddler well past the mouthing stage.
  • Anyone wanting a chilled gel teether. This is silicone only.

Questions parents ask

What age is it made for?

Made for 0 to 6 months.

What comes in the box?

2 Olababy Clear Sense silicone mouthing mittens with adjustable wrist straps. Comes in soft, translucent, gender-neutral tones that coordinate with the full Olababy collection.

How do I clean it?

Dishwasher safe.

What is it made of?

100% high-purity food-grade silicone. Designed in Portland, Oregon.

How big is it?

It measures 3.54" x 2.76" x 1.38"H (90 x 70 x 35 mm) - fits wrist circumference 3.5"-4.7" (90-120 mm). It weighs 1.6 oz (0.10 lb).

What is a teething mitten and how does it work?

It is a soft silicone mitt your baby wears on their hand, with textured soothing surfaces to gnaw on for gum relief. Because the mitten is worn rather than held, it cannot be dropped or thrown like a handheld teether, a real advantage before your baby has a steady grasp.

What age is a teething mitten for?

A mitt teether shines in the early months, when gums ache but hands cannot yet hold a toy reliably. Our silicone teething mitten fits wrists from 3.5" to 4.7" and comes two to a pack, so there is a spare while one is in the wash.

Will it protect my baby’s hands from drool?

Yes, that is a quiet bonus. Constant mouthing can leave little hands chapped, and the mitten keeps a soft silicone layer between skin and drool. It rinses clean and is dishwasher safe (top rack).

Is this safe for my baby?

Yes. Olababy feeding products are made from 100% high-purity food-grade silicone with no fillers, free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, and tested to FDA food-contact standards.

How do I clean and sterilize it?

Silicone products are dishwasher safe (top rack) and can be sterilized in boiling water or a steam sterilizer. Air-dry fully before storing.

What if it does not work for us?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery (see our return policy for details). US shipping is free on orders over $49.

Why buy from olababy.us instead of a retailer?

Olababy.us is the official store and the only place with the complete lineup: every product, every colorway, replacement parts, and bundle pricing. Orders over $49 ship free in the US, returns are accepted for 30 days, and support comes directly from the Olababy team.

Why Olababy

Every feeding product is one material, food-grade silicone, soft enough for gums that are still teething and inert enough to go through a dishwasher for years. The panel above names what is in it and what is kept out of it.

Olababy has designed in Portland, Oregon since 2015, with parents testing the things their own children eat from.

US shipping is free over $49 and returns run for 30 days from purchase.

When can a baby start baby led weaning?

The American Academy of Pediatrics says babies are usually ready to start solid foods at around 6 months, and that some infants may be ready as early as 4 months. It adds that each child's readiness depends on their own rate of development.

What does food grade silicone actually mean?

Rubber articles intended for repeated use in contact with aqueous food shall meet the following specifications: The food-contact surface of the rubber article in the finished form in which it is to contact food, when extracted with distilled water at reflux temperature, shall yield total extractives not to exceed 20 milligrams per square inch during the first 7 hours of extraction, nor to exceed 1 milligram per square inch during the succeeding 2 hours of extraction.

When should my child stop using a sippy cup?

The American Academy of Pediatrics describes sippy cups as a stage children pass through while they are learning, and says it is healthiest for a child to be drinking from an open cup by around 2 years of age.

Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter?

Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full?

Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves?

Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills.

What if my baby is unsure about a new texture?

Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.
