Bickipegs

I'm really fortunate in that my two babies don't seem to have had many problems with teething so far. They get a bit red in the face when one is about to poke through, and chew their hands and toys constantly and can sometimes be a bit grizzly but we've not had the 24-hour a day screaming that some parents seem to face. Having said that, I still want to help them as much as I can as I can see that sometimes it can be quite uncomfortable for them. When they first started getting teeth I went to Boots and bought a few things that I thought they might like - teething rings and the like. And then I saw Bickiepegs. I'd not heard anything about them ...  Read the complete review

Well what on earth would I write my next op on other than a teething product! For the last two weeks I have been pacing the floors with a screaming baby and have spent half our income at least on everything possible to placate the small squirming eel I was holding! I bought these from Tesco's for £1.85 (45g). I think this is far too expensive and just shows how much Mums are willing to pay over the top for a bit of peace! They come in a small purple box with a baby looking very happy with his gnashers! The box is covered in cellophane for hygeine and contains ten sticks that look like dog biscuits with a hole in the top to thread through one of the two strings ...  Read the complete review

Well Ive seen them about, read the adverts in the parenting magazines, but never gave them a thought with Charlotte. Then Ciaran decides to bring four top teeth through at the same time! So in the realms of desperation Mr F brings some of these home. He had seen them in Boots and had fell for the patter on the back of the box. And I quote: 'All babies cry and teething babies cry (or seem to) even louder' Well Ciaran was certainly making his thoughts known on teething but then he has done on colic too! So I opened the box and out came these dog biscuits. They are about 3 inches long, square with a hole in the top. This is for the ...  Read the complete review

I remember seeing bickipegs when I was looking around while pregnant but didn't really pay them a second thought until my Mother in Law mentioned that "in her day" they used to give them to teething babies. That reminded me that they are still about and I gave them a try. I'm quite impressed! Until his top teeth started to come through, Jake didn't really have any trouble with his first 3 teeth so when he started getting fretful I got some bickipegs in. They've been around for donkey's years and cost about £1.65 for 9. All they are is like a wheatgrain biscuit shaped like a stick (crude description, sorry!) and you can ...  Read the complete review

As all parents will know one of the more traumatic experiences a young baby will go through is teething, theres no way to avoid it those little pegs have to come through eventually. Some people are lucky, like I was with my little boy, he had all his teeth by the age of six months and had almost no pain(well he didnt complain about it any way) other people have a complete nightmare from the second the tooth even thinks of growing, my daughter had some problems with her teething, she didn't complain too much but she'd chew on whatever she could get her chubby hands on and when she's choosing shoes and dog biscuit I have to draw the line. I remembered my little sister ...  Read the complete review
