Wild Teether - Alligator

The Alligator Silicone Baby Teether is an one-handed teether that fits inside a clenched fist, easy for a four-month-old to grab and bring to their gums. Made from one piece of food-grade silicone with textured ridges molded into the surface, it gives gums a firm surface to massage while the easy-grip shape stays put even when held upside down.

What it does. Babies start teething anywhere from three months on, and most parents underestimate how much chewing happens before the first tooth ever shows. This teether is built for that window — the textured ridges along the body give gums a firm surface to massage, while the looped handle is small enough for a developing pincer grip. The Alligator shape was designed with a wide front and a thinner edge, so a baby can rotate it and find the spot that feels best without dropping it.

Material and safety. The teether is molded from a single piece of 100% food-grade silicone (FDA standards). One material, no joins or seams where bacteria can collect. Free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead, and cadmium. Exceeds CPSC and CPSIA safety requirements for the US market. Tested independently before every production run. The silicone is the same grade used in baby bottle nipples — soft enough for new gums, firm enough to provide the pressure that actually helps.

How to use it. Hand it directly to baby. Wash before first use. Some parents chill the teether briefly in the fridge before handing it over — many babies prefer the cool silicone. Wipe with a damp cloth after each session, or wash with warm soapy water and air dry. Dishwasher top rack is fine.

Who it's for. Babies 3 months and up, through the full teething stage (typically into the second year). Lightweight enough for newborns to lift, easy to find at the bottom of a diaper bag, simple enough that grandparents and daycare workers don't need instructions.

The design. Alligator joins the Wild Teether series — each animal is a slightly different shape so siblings can tell theirs apart. The form is rounded on every side so there are no edges that catch on lips or fingers.

Care. Wash with warm soapy water before first use and after each session. Top-rack dishwasher safe. Air dry. Inspect monthly for any damage and replace if you see cracks or tears (silicone normally lasts through the entire teething period without issue).

Gifting. The Wild Teether is one of the most-shipped items in baby shower gifts and stocking stuffers. Compact enough to add to a feeding bundle, sturdy enough to survive a daycare drop-off.

Designed in Canada. Loulou Lollipop launched in Vancouver in 2014 with one swaddle and one teether. Every product in the catalog since then has been tested on the founders' own children before going to production.

For Ages: 4 months and up
