Carry-on details
Allowed, no restrictions. Solid silicone, rubber, or wood teething toys aren't liquids, so they can go in your carry-on freely. Gel-filled or liquid-filled teethers are also allowed and are treated like other baby care liquids — they're exempt from the standard 3.4 oz (100 mL) limit. Declare them to the TSA officer and expect additional screening, especially if the gel pack is partially frozen or slushy.
Checked-bag details
Allowed, no restrictions. Teething toys of any kind — solid, gel-filled, or liquid-filled — can go in checked baggage without limits.
Special instructions
Gel- or liquid-filled teethers qualify for the same screening exception as breast milk and baby food: tell the TSA officer you're traveling with a baby and remove the item for separate screening.
