I don't know many moms who don't do cringe in a very specific way when any combination of the words teeth, bite, and nipple are encountered. Merely referencing a teething baby getting more aggressive while breastfeeding is enough to make arms cross chests in involuntary defense.
That being said, you'll understand why I feel a little conflicted seeing some of the teethers currently on the market. Take a gander at this boob-shaped option currently available on Amazon.

Known as a "Nummy Boobs" silicone teether, this product is a hit with customers whose kids love it. While some have expressed concern about encouraging nipple chewing, others have only great things to say. Leaving a review buyer Kristen wrote, "My 6 month old loves her Nummy Boob! It?s held up well to her chewing (working on her 4th tooth!) and general abuse of the past month." If the boob isn't quite your style there are plenty of other options out there, such as...

A Gameboy to drool on.

And "chew on this instead" smartphone.

Cookies to work that sweet tooth out on.

A unicorn to thoroughly slobber.

The classic Nintendo controller.

And the cleverly named line of "Appeteethers" offering bacon, waffles, broccoli and more. (Good luck keeping them away from the dog.)
