Infants chew on their hands or suck on their fingers during the teething phase of development. These actions are taken place to sooth the infants' gums and stimulate the growth of dentures. A mitten with teething surface (element) will cover the hands and give a more natural way of comfort other than a ring or foreign object. Teething products not attached to the infant hands are susceptible to falling onto different surfaces and collecting contaminations, in turn, the teething product will have to be continuously cleaned. A teething mitten can also deter finger or thumb sucking in the future. The teething mitten may consist of a rubberized surface; either smooth or textured, with a firm or gelatinous consistency.
