ARK's Baby Grabber® was designed to calm and soothe infants who are in the developmental stages of mouthing. Oral exploration exercises the lips, tongue and jaw, which is essential for the development of speech sounds. For infants with hypersensitivity and oral sensory defensiveness, the Baby Grabber® provides a positive oral experience. Oral stimulation often assists in self-organization and in the transition from puréed to textured foods. The material is solid with no through holes or crevices that could harbour bacteria or saliva. They are intended for use only by a professional or caregiver trained in their use and should only be used under supervision.
