A New Year Brings New Products, Introducing the Bitey Bu™

My product ideas tend to come from our home and the things we use or need. We have tested and used every product that I've made long before it ever gets mass tested or sold. I believe strongly that if it's not something I would use, I shouldn't be offering it.

The Bitty Bu™ was something that my youngest son demanded soon after his birth. He loved to smush his face into his blankets and my fabric, and it was obvious he needed a lovey. Well, he was the imputus behind our latest product as well. He is a late teether, and he's really struggling with it. My other two children teethed early, quickly and almost painlessly, but not the X-man. As a result, he's taken to chewing on his Bitty Bu, but they don't offer him the comfort or satisfaction he desperately needs. I have a good friend whose daughter is 3 days older than my son and she and I commiserate about life with the babes and she came to me needing one too. They needed a little more bite to their Bu, and the Bitey Bu was born. I do want to give a special thanks to my good friend Diane, who named the Bitey Bu. I am always thankful for her humor and grace in my life.



Made in the same fashion as it's counterpart, the Bitey Bu has one noticeable difference, one of the loveys has a 3" wooden ring sewn in. Made of one solid piece of birch, the ring is 1/2" thick, sanded smooth, and finished with multiple layers of olive oil. It provides lots of chewing comfort to those in need, and tactile stimulation once teething is complete. All Bitty Bu sets will have the option of becoming Bitey Bu and I'll be offering Bitey Bu sets already complete as well. I hope they bring your little one as much relief as they have mine.
