Teething biscuits and finger foods are not just about nutritional intake and helping teething discomfort. Giving your baby teething biscuits will help your baby develop motor skills and also start to find out what it is like to eat solid foods.

Making teething biscuits at home rather than buying branded foods
is one alternative, and would require learning about various recipes for teething biscuits. There are many teething biscuit recipes and making them yourself at home is a good alternative to buying branded ones.





Banana Bread Sticks

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana
1 3/4 cups flour (white, whole wheat, or a combination)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Combine ingredients and stir only until smooth. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour or until firmly set.

Cool, remove from pan, and cut into sticks. Spread sticks out on a cookie sheet and bake at 150 degrees F for 1 hour or longer until the sticks are hard and crunchy. Store in a tightly covered container. Source: Feed Me I’m Yours by Vicki Lansky

Egg-Free Baby Cereal Cookies

1 cup flour
1 cup dry flavored or unflavored infant rice cereal
3 tablespoons cooking oil
ice water

Directions:
Preheat oven 425F
Mix flour and cereal.
Gradually stir in oil. Mix a little ice water at a time (start with 1/4 cup) until dough begins to form a ball and pull away from the bowl.
Roll out to the thickness of a cracker on a floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet 10-12 min. or until lightly brown. Cool completely.

The obvious advantage to using your own recipes for teething biscuits and making them yourself is that they will probably be more nutritious for your baby plus it can help save you a lot of money. Also, there are many store-bought teething biscuits
that contain high sugar levels or other ingredients that can even lead to your baby developing allergies.
