Possible a controversial title – but Leo the Snail, a teether/rattle/dummy from BabyToLove is unique and delightful, and perfect for teething babies.

Firstly it looks extremely attractive, in pink or green. It’s big enough to grab Baby’s attention but very light, so easy for even a 3-month old to grab and hold – and of course, take straight to their mouth. The whole toy is made of food-grade silicone so no concerns when Baby chews on Leo’s various bits, and the snail’s feelers are designed to resemble a dummy (pacifier in the USA) which is a clever additional feature.

The whole thing is light and delicate, yet robust, and will wobble playfully if Baby shakes it, which will also activate the delicate integral rattle.

So if you have a new baby present to buy, or Baby’s first Christmas, this is just great. At £11.95 from BabyToLove it is a beautifully-made and unusual toy.
