The Baby Grabber (Textured) is specifically designed to provide sensory input through its textured bumps and nubs, offering a safe oral motor tool for infants in the early stages of development. Around 5-6 months of age, babies begin mouthing and chewing to strengthen oral muscles and practice the movement of their lips, tongue, and jaw. This sensory exploration is crucial for transitioning to solid foods and for speech development.
The Baby Grabber supports these developmental milestones by providing a safe outlet for babies to practice oral skills. It also aids in self-regulation, easing the transition from puréed to textured foods, and can help soothe sore gums. The tool’s design allows infants to chew on all surfaces, while the extension reaches the back molar area, promoting oral motor development. The Baby Grabber measures approximately 10cm (4") in length and just under 5cm (2") across the loop.
The light blue, yellow, and pink Baby Grabbers are soft and chewy. The turquoise Baby Grabber is firmer yet still chewy and pliable. Teething babies may prefer the firmer option, as it provides added resistance and input to the gums.
Baby Grabbers are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years. After that, children should graduate to the regular Grabbers or Y-Chews. Exact color hues may vary slightly.

Some individuals (particularly those with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing) may be able to damage the tools.
