Are You Pronouncing This Baby Gear Wrong?

Pronouncing baby gear wrong isn’t uncommon. I definitely have said some of them wrong myself. But I’m here to try to set the record straight on some of the most popular baby products.

Let’s settle this now: it’s “BRIGH-tax.” Not “Bree-tax” or “BRIGH-tex”

I have said this one wrong more times that I will admit (and I probably still will) but I’m sure “AY-dun” and “uh-NAY,” will understand. Spread the word.

Norwegians say Stokke like “STOWE-kah.” I’ve heard “STOW-kie” but have been assured that it most definitely is not that. And some people say it’s “STOCK-kuh.”

Turns out, the founder of Robeez has a son named Robbie. So the brand sounds like “Robbie’s” not “row-bees”.

It’s “peg-PERR-eh-go.” Not “Pe-purr-go”, and no not even “Peg-Purr-eh-go”.

It’s “muh-DEE-la,” not “muh-DAY-la” as I used to think.

Say “KEY-ko” not “CHEEK-o.”

Don’t over think this one. It’s not “HOO-vy” or “JJJJOO-vy”. Just think ‘nickname for juvenile hall’ and you’ll get it.

You got the first part down, right? But what about that little “j” and the two dots that are throwing too many non-Swedes off. It’s “be-YORN” not “bah-JORN,” But some Swede insists it’s “be-YEARN”. Say it anyway except “Bah-JORN”, ok?

 It’s “PEE-di-ped.” not Ped-ee-ped. Simple.
