The kid is 5 months old. She keeps on chewing her fingers.
Should she be given a teether or should she be allowed to chew her fingers?
What are the possible disadvantages of giving an infant a teether and how should they be countered?

For what it's worth, my daughter never tolerated a teether. She preferred her fingers the entire time she was teething (and she got her first tooth at 4 months old!). Certainly offer one that is appropriate, but be aware she might not be interested.– Meg CoatesNov 15, 2013 at 5:42

Give her a teether. Just make sure it's one suitable for her age, but teethers are useful for babies who want to use them and will help her with sore gums.
