The Mushie Teething Mitten is a wearable, hands-free teether made for babies in the early teething stage — the ones who instinctively bring their hands to their mouth but haven't yet worked out how to hold a traditional teething ring. It slips over a small hand and secures with an adjustable strap, putting a textured, food-grade silicone chewing surface right where baby is already reaching: their fingertips.
The glove-style design is what sets this mitten apart. Because baby doesn't need to grip anything, it suits little ones who are still developing their grasp, and it can be worn on either the left or right hand. A layer of soft cotton wraps the hand to help protect delicate skin from the moisture and irritation that comes with all that drool, while a gentle crinkle sound (from a PET plastic layer inside) adds a bit of sensory interest to keep baby engaged.
How it works
- Textured silicone surface: The food-grade silicone top gives baby a firm, textured surface to mouth and chew on during supervised awake time.
- Wearable, no-grip design: The mitten fits over the hand and fastens with an adjustable strap, so babies who can't yet hold a teether can still reach a chewing surface on their own.
- Cotton drool barrier: The soft cotton wrap sits against the skin to help shield it from excess saliva.
- Crinkle sound: An internal crinkle layer adds gentle auditory stimulation as baby moves and squeezes the mitten.
Materials and shapes
The mitten is made from food-grade silicone and cotton, with a PET plastic layer inside for the crinkle. It is BPA, BPS, PVC and phthalate free. It comes in two shapes with slightly different dimensions — the Sun measures 11.5 cm x 9.5 cm x 1.5 cm and the Rainbow measures 11 cm x 8 cm x 1.5 cm (H x W x D).
How to care for it
Cleaning is straightforward: machine wash with cold water or hand wash, then lay flat to dry. Spot cleaning works well for a quick freshen-up between uses, which makes it easy to keep on hand at home or when you're out and about.
Best For
The Mushie Teething Mitten is a great option for parents who:
- Have a baby (3 months and older) who chews on their hands but can't yet hold a teether
- Want a hands-free teether that stays where baby needs it
- Are looking for a teether that adds a little sensory play with its crinkle sound
- Prefer something quick to wash and easy to pack for outings
It may not be the right fit if you're after a hand-held teething ring for an older baby who already grips confidently.
Disclaimer
Recommended for babies 3 months and older. Use only during awake, directly supervised time — teethers should not be left with a baby who is sleeping or unsupervised, and should be kept out of the infant sleep space. Check the mitten regularly for signs of wear such as cuts, tears or stickiness, and replace it if you notice any damage.
