NUK Cooling Teether Ring Set

When those first teeth start pushing through, most babies want something to chew on — and the NUK Cooling Teether Ring Set gives sore gums a safe, textured surface to work on. This teething ring set is designed to massage and cool sensitive gums during the teething stage, with an ergonomic shape that helps baby reach different areas of the jaw where the discomfort tends to sit.

The set pairs two rings that each do a slightly different job. The Classic massage ring has gentle textures for baby to gum against, while the separate Cool ring is chilled in the fridge to bring cooling relief to the spots that feel most tender. Importantly, the cooling ring contains no liquid, so there is no gel or fluid to worry about if it is chewed hard. The two rings also snap together, turning the teether into something baby can hold, turn and play with. Both are made from high-quality, BPA-free synthetic material, and they are light enough for small hands to grip on their own — suitable from 3 months.

How to use

Place the Cool ring in the fridge to chill before offering it to baby — the fridge, not the freezer, as a rock-hard teether can be too much for delicate gums. Before the very first use, place the teether in boiling water for 5 minutes, using plenty of water to avoid damage. After that, clean it thoroughly with mild washing-up liquid and sterilise it before each further use (the NUK Steriliser is one option). Always dismantle the teether into its component parts before boiling or steam-sterilising.

Best for

The NUK Cooling Teether Ring Set is a practical option for parents who:

• Have a baby of 3 months or older who is starting to mouth and chew on things
• Want a cooling teether that chills in the fridge rather than a liquid- or gel-filled design
• Like the idea of a lightweight ring baby can hold independently, at home or on outings

A few safety notes

Teethers are for awake, supervised use only and should be kept out of baby's sleep space. Check the rings regularly and replace them if you notice cuts, splits or other signs of wear. Teething behaviour varies from baby to baby, and a teether is there to give comfort during the stage — if your baby seems genuinely unwell, that is worth checking with a healthcare professional rather than putting down to teething.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Keep the Cool ring in the fridge between uses rather than the freezer. Chilled-but-firm is what you're after — a frozen teether becomes very hard and can be uncomfortable against sore gums.
