This little giraffe had no rest at the Junior Design Awards. Our judges were constantly squeezing her and cooing over her iconic status.

The judges were pleased to hear that Sophie is still made from natural, renewable rubber sourced from the Hevea tree and finished with non-toxic, food-grade paint. Easy to grab, easy to hold, satisfying to chew and adorable to look at.

Winner:SILVER - Best Teething Product Design
Who:BioGaia UK
What:Prodentis BABY
Why:
The JDA panel was extremely impressed by the research and feedback behind BioGaia UK’s Prodentis BABY. Formulated with two scientifically researched bacterial strains to support oral wellbeing through the teething journey and beyond, these drops promote a healthy oral microbiome and can help soothe tender, irritated gums. The panel admired the gentle liquid drop format, making it easy for parents to administer when babies are likely to be a little bit cranky!
"A great item to help parents. Love the packaging and everything from this range. Excited to try it."
"I find it fascinating that a well-supported microbiome can have so many positive knock-on effects in so many areas of health. BioGaia are at the forefront of this research, and their products always show great results."
"Easy to administer and definitely a great addition to any parent’s box of tricks."
