Bickiepegs Teething Biscuit: Supporting Healthy Jaw Development Since 1925
Invented in 1925 by a Harley Street pediatrician, Bickiepegs Teething Biscuits—also known as Bickiepegs Wheat Teether—are crafted to provide a firm, resistive surface for chewing. These biscuits are essential for the healthy development of babies’ jaws and teeth. Starting from 6 months, as babies enter the teething stage, Bickiepegs Wheat Teether offers a natural and effective way to support oral development.
Why Choose Bickiepegs Teething Biscuit?
1. Hard Surface for Jaw and Oral Development
- The hardness of Bickiepegs Teething Biscuits promotes proper chewing, engaging orofacial muscles for jawbone growth and muscle development.
- Its unique shape allows babies to “bite” using incisors, canines, and molars, ensuring balanced oral cavity development and supporting a strong jawline.
2. Supports Hand-Eye Coordination
- The finger-sized design of Bickiepegs Wheat Teether makes it easy for babies to hold independently, mimicking the natural grip of a finger.
- Helps improve hand-eye coordination as babies learn to handle and chew the biscuit.
3. Eases Transition to Solid Foods
- Introduces babies to harder textures, preparing them for a variety of food consistencies and reducing picky eating habits.
- Strengthens chewing muscles, making it easier for babies to adapt to solid foods later.
4. Soothes Teething Pain
- The firm texture of the biscuits provides relief from gum soreness through gentle pressure during biting.
- Regular chewing supports straighter tooth growth, better jaw alignment, and creates more space for future teeth.
5. A Natural and Hygienic Teething Solution
- Single-use hygienic design: Each biscuit is for one-time use, ensuring a clean and safe experience.
- Made with only wheat flour, wheat germ, and water—no added sugar, salt, artificial preservatives, or flavourings.
- Handmade daily in Scotland, rigorously quality-checked, and compliant with WHO Codex standards and UK Food Safety Regulations.
How to Use
- Inspect Before Use: Check each biscuit for damage. Pull and bend in all directions; discard if broken or compromised.
- Attach Safety Ribbon: Thread the ribbon through the biscuit’s hole and secure it to the baby’s wrist or clothing. Wash and reuse ribbons as needed.
- Introduce the Biscuit: Allow the baby to hold and chew independently or gently guide the biscuit to their mouth.
- Encourage Chewing: Encourage three bites on one side of the mouth, then switch to the other. Position near the premolars for effective chewing.
- Timing: Offer before meal times to encourage interest. Use for up to 20 minutes per session and discard after use.

Super hard biscuit, great teether for my little boy. Better than chewing on plastic teethers.

I absolutely adore bickiepegs and even my mother gave them to me as a child. They are great for my 10 month old baby as she has 8 teeth and 3 coming through;a lot for her age. The only thing I would say is that I love the concept of the string as it prevents her from chucking it and it falling on floor etc. However, i cannot get the string though the hole and I don’t have anything to try to pull it through. The gaps seems to be too small for the strings without the use of say something like a needle. Maybe it would be better if the holes were round or bigger? Nonetheless I continue to buy lots.

I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, bickiepegs have been amazing for my 6 month old. I just started using one for her last night and she cannot get enough of them for relief for her teeth! She was just screaming in pain and I gave her a Bickiepeg and it’s like instant relief for her. I also love the fact they are sort of food shaped and smell like biscuits as I’m having a horrible time trying to introduce solids, she just won’t take things to her mouth so I think these are going to help hugely. My daughters first tooth is now poking out and the second one a little point is showing so will soon follow and bickiepegs have been amazing. Do you do any other products at all? Would love to try them all!

Great organic teethers for babies. Little boy loved it. It’s a food-based teether for babies to chew on. They’re NOT meant to be consumed. Apparently they also don’t add extra salt or sugar to ensure it’s tasteless, so it doesn’t interfere with the normal baby diet.
