ARK Baby Tetra-Bite® Soft
ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite®
Designed to calm and soothe infants who are in the early stages of development. The teal Tetra-Bites are soft and chewy.
- Babies can mouth and explore 4 different "arms" - each with a different texture for lots of varied sensory input.
- The two rectangular arms have ribs: one with horizontal ribs that wrap around the extension, and one with long ribs that run the length of the extension.
- The two rectangular arms have bumps: one with mild round bumps, and one with zigzag bumps that provide more input.
- With all these different shapes and textures, the Tetra-Bite™ helps introduce babies to new sensations orally, which helps prepare them for solid foods later on and also helps decrease and/or prevent oral sensitivities.
- The Baby Tetra-Bite measures just under 5" across. Each extension measures just over 1" long and about .4" thick - perfect for reaching the back molars where we need to chew the most.
Please note - Baby Tetra-Bites are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years.
After that, children should graduate to the regular Grabbers or Y-Chews.
At approximately 5-6 months of age, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Tetra-Bite® provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills.

Our Story
When my son was born with autism, my world changed and Sensory Direct was born
Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life changing that Weighted Blanket would become.
