Some are filled with sterile water, non-sterile water and gels. Most teething rings clearly state on the package to place in the refrigerator only. Ones that hold non-sterile water and gels may not be safe for baby to ingest. And if the material of the ring can not withstand freezing temperatures, it may rupture or crack while being chewed and the baby may ingest the liquid. To play it safe I suggest only placing them in the refrigerator. If you want to have the baby chew on something frozen, wet a clean washcloth with sterile water and place in the freezer. Then have the baby chew on that.

RE:
Are the liquid filled teething rings supposed to go in the freezer?

Some can be, I know one of the kids in the day care I used to work in had one that was "ice cubes" with letters on them they were supposed to be frozen. Some say you can place them in a freezer for no longer than about 15 minutes...other's say not to put them in a freezer at all. You simply have to read the instructions.

Every teething rings are filled with Sterile water and can everyone of them can be put in the freezer. Regular water will expand once frozen and the teether will burst or leak. Sterile water won't make teething ring and later burst or leak. This will help alot when your little one is teething due to the fact that the coldness of this ring will numb his/her gums and it will be very soothing for them.

On the box it says to put it in the fridge ONLY. You can put it in the freezer, but it really isn't recommended. If you put it in the freezer it's more likely to spring a leak so at least make sure that the toy says it has safe water in it. It says something like distilled water I don't really remember. Fridge will do enough for sore gums generally.

try the freezer if it's at room temp. And yes it is a good thing to put it in the freezer because it not only makes it cold it also feels good on their gums and teeth that are coming in.

Most can not go into the freezer. (The plastic can become brittle) Munchkin makes a teething ring that can be put into the freezer. Just make sure that it says you can on the package.

Actually you should only put it in the fridge because a frozen teething ring can be to much cold for a babies sensitive little gums to withstand.

Yes, if your child prefers it that way. It's more "chewy" when not frozen, firmer and really good and cold when frozen. The cold will actually help make the child's gums feel better when chewing on it. Take care.
