There's lots of dribble, unsettled nights, fist munching, and general yelps as waves of pain pass through him. But no sign of those toothy-pegs.

I was kindly sent a Drool Monkey to try - a safe and organic solution for teething. 

With no toxic dyes, retardants or synthetic fabrics it doubles up, actually scrap that, QUADRUPLES up, as a teether, rattle, burp cloth and blankie (noo noo in my household).

Essentially it is a knotted muslin, that desperate mothers dealing with crabby, teething babies have used for years.
But, it is taken a step further with the addition of the monkey face that combines a rattle, and plenty of excess material for other uses, like a security blanket. 

So what I love about it is....

Versatility

When baby has a good old munch, the absorbent fabric mops up moisture from baby's skin to prevent 'drool rash'.

Simple, plain and effective design. A cute embroidered monkey with rattle inside (as his face), nice and contemporary for anyone who doesn't like lots of colour (not sure who doesn't when babba is involved - but there is always room for one!)

Works as a nursing cover, as well as a sun shield when thrown over the front of the pram.

Stays clean, as there's a reusable drawstring bag, its machine washable and dryable.

Has a nice little To: & From: tag, so it's lovely as a thoughtful gift, especially as it's relatively unknown at the moment - which will soon change!

Relieves teething pain with the knotted fabric that baby can gnaw on.

Has a couple of removable tethers to affix it on carrier, stroller etc

Made from custom-woven certified organic cotton - perfect for those eco mummas.

Oh, and the c'lebs love it!

And it's £20, so it's a lovely little baby shower gift without breaking the bank.
