ABSTRACT:
An infant teether comprising a hollow teething unit defined in part by thin, flexible walls for holding hard teething foods such as cookies, pretzels, fruits, and the like. The walls of the teething unit are provided with a plurality of holes for allowing the food therein to be released into the infant's mouth in small, soft pieces, upon a repetitive biting action on the teething unit. The infant teether further comprises a cap for closing an opening in the teething unit to prevent food spillage during use. A ring-shaped handle is integrally attached to the cap for easy grip by the child or parent. The food placed inside the teething unit encourages the infant to repetitively bite on the unit in an effort to consume the food therein. This repetitive biting action upon the elastomeric teething unit can bring soothing relief to the infant during teething.
