Description
Teething babies want something firm to gnaw on, so we bake Bickiepegs hard. Chewing on one puts gentle pressure on sore gums, giving natural teething relief from around 6 months.
They're finger-shaped because babies naturally reach for fingers to chew on, and they're made from real food: organic wheat flour and wheat germ, with no added sugar or salt. Each biscuit is baked in Scotland, made to be chewed rather than eaten. A washable ribbon ties to your baby's wrist, so it stays off the floor.
The idea goes back to 1903, when Dr Harry Campbell wrote in The Lancet that babies need firm food to chew.

Why it works
Made for little mouths
-
Ready to chew
Little hands, firm textures
Around 6 months, most babies start teething and start solids. It's a natural time to want something firm. The slim peg is easy for little hands to grip, so babies practise getting it to their mouth.
From around 6 months
-
Made to be chewed
Resistance is the point
Baked hard on purpose. Instead of dissolving like a rusk, a Bickiepeg gives babies something firm to gnaw, so sore gums have something to press against. The long shape reaches the front, side and back gums.
-
Nothing hidden
Two ingredients. That's it.
Organic wheat flour and wheat germ. No added sugar or salt, and no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. Baked in Aberdeen, Scotland, with a fresh biscuit for every session.
Vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free

Where it started
A doctor's simple idea
In 1903, Dr Harry Campbell wrote in The Lancet that babies need firm food to chew. Bickiepegs followed in 1925, and the biscuit is still made to that same simple idea.
The Lancet, 1903
See it in action
- Check the biscuit Pull and bend it before each use. Throw away any biscuit that's broken or feels weak.
- Tie on the ribbon Thread the ribbon through the hole and knot it to your baby's wrist. The hole end stays out of the mouth.
- Chew, then discard Up to 20 minutes, always supervised. Throw it away sooner if it softens, and use a fresh one next time.

Great for teething babies, used this from 6m+ our son loved them! They helped with his gum pain, and gave him something to distract from the discomfort.
Taste alright too.
Good value for money, and pretty easy to use.
Only downside is they only provide two strings for the pegs. They get soaked and dirty easily, so unless you wash them, they will likely get bacteria.
Over all very effective.
They're fantastic for teething. I've used Bickiepeg's with all 3 of my children. I was even given them when I was a baby 38 years ago!
No wonder they've been going since the 1920's! They're a great product.
All natural ingredients. They're vegan and vegetarian friendly seeings they're just made of Wheat Flour and Wheatgerm.
Just be careful when your baby is using it, you need to be with them the whole time. They are small so the baby can hold it and chew on it. So attach it to something where the baby can't drop it or choke on it. I tie my son's Bickiepeg on to his dummy clip and always follow the instructions, don't let your baby chew on it for any longer than 20 minutes at a time.
I don't think there is much flavour to them because all my children enjoyed chewing on them so they can't taste too bad.
Highly recommended purchase!
they are very hard and thats what I was looking for. I wish they were bigger but they will do. I did pay more for shipping $20 but thats because its coming from Great Britain.
Little baby Cerise, 8 months old, was crying a lot because of her sore gums. The moment we presented her with her Bickiepeg she grabbed it and put it gleefully into her mouth and loved chewing it. She loves it, and hardly ever cries now. So a big thank you to everyone at Bickiepegs!
PS we wish we could find them in France and Japan, where little Cerise lives.
Thank you so much for sharing Cerise's experience! Glad to have helped :)
Used these on my children so know they are a great help especially when they're trying to 'bite' eveything when they get the urge with teeth coming thru. They dissolve slowly making them good to chew on
Brilliant idea!! Use these myself with my babies 29 years ago , now a great idea and helps for my grand babies
Purchased for my grandson who was teething. He was biting and sucking on them. Attached to clothing so always on hand.
I’m really pleased with the Bickiepegs. They’re incredibly durable and strong, which is exactly what you want for a teething product that gets used (and chewed!) a lot. They don’t break or soften easily, so they last well even with regular use.
They’ve been a great help during teething—firm enough to soothe sore gums, while still being safe and suitable for little ones. My baby seems to really enjoy them, and they definitely help keep them settled.
One of the most useful features is the string that comes with them. Being able to tie the Bickiepeg and attach it to my baby’s wrist is a game changer—it stops it from constantly being dropped or lost, especially when out and about.
Overall, a simple but very effective product. Practical, reliable, and clearly designed with both babies and parents in mind. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone with a teething baby.
Brilliant! I used these 25 years ago for my own children and i now use them for my granddaughter. They are not as robust as they used to be but still brilliant. I would advise you to monitor your babywith them as they get soggy and bits start to break off but as far as helping with teething gums id 100% recommend
Good quality . My son unfortunately did not take to them
Nothing else worked!!
basicaly no sugar great, simple ingredients, unique texture
As always a useful thing to have for little teeth coming through.
Den Kindern scheint zu schmecken, also 5 Sterne
Think the principle of the item is great and I can definitely see how they would help some children. My child however didn’t like the taste of them. If there was a variety of flavours I feel like it would be abit different but the biscuits are a very dull flavour and that’s why I’ve deducted 1 star. And for weaning babies they get bored easily. Easy to use and could be effective if my child kept it in his mouth long enough . Value for money, I would say parents are willing to pay anything if it will stop the teething cry. Simple design and easy to use. Wouldn’t buy again though personally. Back to the drawing board for more teething help 🤦♀️😂
Baby loves these teething baby 👶 biscuits. 🏴
So, standard soft touch teethers and gel teethers she will not take. Extremely fussy with calpol, anbesol and teething granules we felt like we were losing our minds trying to find a solution. An old wifey mentioned these to me and apparently my own parents used these for me but had no idea till i reminded them. Anyway our wee one loves them! holds on to it for aslon as possible, they do get soft so id watch out for your wee one dropping them and getting dirty.
great product and a lifesaver but i have taken a star off as you only get 2 ribbons, should really be including more even if it was slightly more expensive.
still well worth it
Must have for teething.
Why did you choose this product over others?:
Good
Excellent old remedy for teething, useful for reaching back teeth...only drawback is only 2 pieces of ribbon included
now using it with my granddaughter so happy to see that the product has remained strong throughout the years. was delighted when i can find this in asda!
Took to them straight away and loved them!
works really well
love it great for teething babies, the ribbon is really a bonus for attaching to baby's wrist no added sugar which is great
Honestly didn't know what to expect but these are brilliant. My little one just loves chewing on them when her gums are sore. Proper little lifesaver some days when nothing else calms her.
Brilliant xx
Worked well for my grandson
I’m afraid I need to add my voice to those who’ve had these break. They are indeed rock hard, however when I gave one to my 6 month old after 5 minutes I discovered a piece of the biscuit in her mouth. I have no idea how she managed to break it but she did. I was timing her use of the biscuit (they shouldn’t be used for more than 20 minutes) so I know how quickly it broke. My heart stopped. Fortunately I fished the piece out of her mouth. I have looked at other reviews to see whether this is a repeat experience. I do not understand why a broken off piece of the biscuit is not understood as a chocking hazard.
Good for babies, easy to tie around their wrist. They really help babies
I wasn’t sure about giving biscuits at first but these aren’t like normal biscuits, they’re firm. Actually worked out very well for teething! My son just sits and chews and chews, gives him something to focus on instead of being miserable. Should've got them way earlier tbh.
These are hard and sturdy, good for soothing gums Was scared that my baby might choke when I read the comments but they were all fine... rock hard and doesn't break even when son chucked it on the ground!

Questions about this product
From what age can my baby use Bickiepegs?
From around 6 months, when most babies start teething and are getting ready for solids. They can be used until the first teeth are all through, usually around 3 years. Every baby develops at their own pace. Always supervise.
How long should my baby chew one biscuit?
No longer than 20 minutes. Take it away sooner if it softens, cracks or feels weak, and use a fresh biscuit next time.
Is it a biscuit for eating?
No. It's made from simple food ingredients, but it's baked very hard to be chewed rather than eaten like an ordinary biscuit. Always supervise and follow the instructions for use.
How do I use Bickiepegs safely?
Stay with your baby the whole time, and check each biscuit before use by bending it. Tie the ribbon to their wrist so only the non-holed end goes in the mouth. Take it away after 20 minutes, or sooner if it softens, and use a fresh one next time.
What is the ribbon for, and can I get more?
It ties to your baby's wrist so the biscuit stays close and off the floor. Each pack has 2 washable cotton ribbons, because not everyone uses them. Need more? Just contact us.
Are Bickiepegs suitable for babies with a wheat allergy?
No. Bickiepegs contain gluten (wheat), so they aren't suitable for babies with a wheat allergy or gluten intolerance.
