> 3 dayI bought this for my 3 month old son who is painfully teething. At first he cried when i put it in his mouth. It looked painful. The nubs made popping noises as they rubbed his gums. He finally started to chew on it for a minute and seemed smiley like he was enjoying it, and then got bored and started chewing his hand. Hair seems to gravitate to it. Like instantly when I took it out of the package hair appeared on it as i was merely looking at it. It might actually grow hair, im not sure yet. Anyways Im going to give it more time before I decide whether I want to keep it because it is super cute although maybe not effective for a my 3 month old that is without teeth or coordination just yet. Im also kinda afraid hes going to poke himself in the eye with it. Maybe im over thinking about that though. Update: im bumping this up to 4 stars because my son eventually loved this, when he turned 1. He will still occasionally use it because he is still teething, and he is now 2. As for the hair issue, if you have pets its still going to be gross all the time. And he never poked himself in the eye thank goodness. All in all this product is probably best for coordinated babies with existing teeth. Update: I was definitely right about it being best for coordinates babies with teeth. Its now been handed down to my daughter who got teeth super early (2 teeth by 3 months!) and her coordination is much better than my sons was. She loves this banana. Its held up through the years and it hasnt fallen apart at all! This was a great investment and I would definitely buy it again if we lost it at any point.

> 3 dayMy daughter LOVES this banana toothbrush. Almost as much as she loves chewing on her paintbrushes. I got this to persuade ger to xhew this instead. Works 3/5 times, so we are getting there. She does not reject its presence in her mouth, which is a bonus for future toothbrushing.

Greater than one weekBaby started teething by four months and wouldnt use any teething toy no matter what we tried, cold or not. With this, she loves to bite down on the bristles and itch her gums. Shell slowly pull it across her gums in front so it makes a noise and find it humorous. Definitely one of the best purchases Ive made because we have three of different colors for just in case they get misplaced

> 3 dayAfter looking for (and trying) various baby teethers, I came across the Baby Banana and decided to buy one for my then 4 month old. He was at the stage where he wanted to constantly chew on something with his gums. If your baby is at the grab and put everything in mouth stage, THIS is the toy/teether for you. My baby is now 6 months old and this is still his favorite toy/teether to play with. It keeps him busy for a good 20-30 minutes (which all parents know is pretty crazy). The conventional round shaped teethers are useless in my opinion. The baby can never properly fit the round teethers in their mouth and just get frustrated. This is even MUCH BETTER than Sophie the Giraffe. My baby chewed on Sophies leg the first 2 days, and then lost interest. Theres something about the Baby Banana that he loves. It really helps massage & soothe his gums. If your baby likes chewing on your fingers or his own - THIS IS the teether to get. Its shaped just like a finger, and your baby can reach the back gums and poke it around. Round teethers wont help soothe the gums deep inside. This thing is so baby friendly its amazing. The handles give a really good grip to the baby, and the baby can chew on both ends, as well as the handles. The peel shaped handles also allow you to put those plastic links through, so you can hang the banana onto the babys clothes or stroller or seat, and it wont fall to the ground. (Sophie doesnt have anything to attach to). My baby really has a go at it, you can hear the silicone squeaking against those baby gums. Im just happy I found the PERFECT teether to soothe my babys gums. He still doesnt have teeth yet, so Im sure he will be able to chew off the bristle shaped head when he gets a couple of teeth. I would buy 2, keep one at home, and one in the baby bag. Make sure you wash the bristles thoroughly though, because little threads or fuzz can get trapped between bristles, but its very easy to clean. Highly recommend this. Probably the only teether you need!

> 3 dayWe bought this for my daughter bc our dog chewed up the banana teethers. (He tries with this, too, but we’re getting better at catching him!). It seems more pliable than the bananas, which has been great, and the nubs for the corn add extra texture for her to explore. The handles/leaves make it easy to hold while the bristles are fun for the tongue and soothing for the gums. To clean, we just add to the bottle dishes or occasionally throw it in the dishwasher. Plus, I’m originally from Indiana, so the corn is a fun inside joke from the old Indiana Beach commercials.

> 3 dayThis banana is a life saver. It helped when my baby was teething a few years ago. It has recently become my favorite thing to add when I’m giving a gift to new parents! Totally recommend!!

> 3 dayI followed the warning of other reviewers and ordered the single (not 2-pack) to get a genuine made in USA item. It was great and my baby loves it! So much that I ordered a second. This time I got the low quality made in Taiwan version despite ordering a single item. The item appears opened and taped shut! Thats unacceptable this is for an infants mouth. On top of that it seems cheaper, the volor is different, and the bristles are thinner. I can see how parents could be worried they would break off. Im not sure if one is new and one is old, but the USA version has a patent number on it where the other says patent pending. Amazon quickly replaced the item for me with the correct version. It still gets five stars because the genuine item is excellent and Amazon has great customer service. Photos included showing made in USA item on the right.
