About Us
Our Story
Soothing Littles was created as a family brand in the Spring of 2023, a few months after the birth of our first son. As he started teething, we searched for products to ease his pain and make the process more bearable. This led us to designing our own teether that not only provided comfort, but also represented our love for the ocean and all its creatures. We are currently selling our Manateethers in over 50 stores across the country! We now have two sons and recently Nicole decided it was time to fulfill a lifelong dream and began writing children’s books. We are excited about the upcoming series and the future expansion of the company. Thank you for being a part of this journey..
