FAQ
Teething biscuits are designed to be chewed on by babies to help alleviate the discomfort of teething. They are usually made with soft, easily digestible ingredients such as wheat flour, rice flour, and oats. Although not a substitute for nutritious meals and snacks, they can be a healthy part of your baby's diet.
6 to 11 months old:. Opt for teething rusks and other styles of crackers or biscuits that are made for infants, and avoid crackers that are harder, sharper, or very high in sodium. Infant crackers are safer for babies because they are thin, lack sharp edges, and tend to melt in the mouth as baby eats.
Sugar Content: Teething biscuits may contain added sugars, which can be harmful to a baby's emerging teeth and overall health. Nutritional Value: Some experts believe that teething biscuits don't offer much nutritional value and that there are healthier alternatives available.
Packaged baby snacks, such as rusks, baby biscuits and baby biscotti, should not form part of your baby's diet, as they may contain lots of sugar.
While you can start introducing some types of solid foods by the time your baby turns six months old, that's still too early to give your little one a teething biscuit. MedlinePlus recommends that you shouldn't introduce teething biscuits until 8-12 months of age.
