Item number: 4260399360550 View all from Goldi Sauger > View more: Teething Rings & Toys > Goldi - Natural Rubber Teething Ring The safest teething ring in the world! The teething ring is made of 100% natural rubber. This is not only safer (non-toxic) for the baby but also not harmful to the environment because natural rubber is biodegradable. When the first teeth come through, the gums stretch over the tips of the teeth that are coming out. This is not only painful for the baby, but it can also make the baby quite unhappy. The pain is often accompanied by a slightly increased temperature. To relieve the pressure pain and calm the baby, it can help to give the baby a teething ring. The firmer edge and the nubs of the Goldi teething ring soften the gums and thus accelerate the eruption of the teeth. Tip: Place the teething ring in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. The cooled teething ring reduces blood circulation and inhibits inflammation.

Environmental information about Natural rubber teething ring Natural rubber is made from a milky latex sap from the Hevea Brasilensis, the rubber tree. The hevea tree has a valuable traditional life cycle. After planting, it takes 7 years for the hevea tree to be 'ripe' for rubber production. The tree can then provide sap for 30-40 years and simultaneously absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. If the trees have to be cut down, furniture is made from them under good working conditions. Natural rubber is biodegradable, this takes 5 years. A plastic bag, on the other hand, takes 500-1000 years!
