These Teether Books from Bright Starts are another way for you to help your baby through a very trying time — teething. The fabric pages crinkle and squeak, which might act as a distraction for an irritable baby. The wavy book spine is easy for baby to hold on to and also contains clacking beads for fun.

There are three stories to choose from: “I Can Do Anything,” “Play With Me,” and “One Sunny Day.” You can view and purchase these teethers at babyant.com, where each teether book costs just $5.99.

This Bright Starts By Your Side Seat looks a little roomier, and more sturdy, than a bouncer. It also raises the child high enough so you can pay more careful attention to them. I like the basket/bin under the seat. That would be a good place to keep baby’s toys or favorite blanket. It also plays 10 melodies and has volume control (a feature for which parents are always grateful!)
