While at ABC last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with Ringley, an organic teething company.

Ringley is the original Canadian natural teether that combines two efficient teething tools: untreated Maple wood and 100% organic cotton terrycloth.

I like that this supersoft baby toy provides two very different textures to soothe tender gums. During my son’s latest round of teething, I noticed that he preferred hard stuff to chew on, as opposed to the last time where he was chewing on my t-shirts.

The Ringley’s terrycloth base is also great for soaking up the drool that is constantly accumulating inside a teething baby’s mouth.

*Made free from dye and without harmful chemicals.

The new carrier is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) which was developed to unify the standards for organic textiles worldwide and to ensure environmentally conscious manufacturing processes.

This unique carrier is the only carrier that allows you to wear your baby without hassles, twisted material, or confusing attachments. A cross between a soft sling and a structured carrier, the Baby K’tan provides an exceptionally secure environment, making it ideal for special needs babies, and perfect for preemies and even twins.

We like it’s versatility. Parents are able to carry their children comfortably from newborn to toddler (40lbs).
