She's 11 months now and breast fed. My baby also gets juices and one or two of these baby glasses every day. She has 4 teeth.

I just bought a pack but found they're so hard to chew. Don't want her to choke on that.

Basically if you would feed her everything in the biscuit you can give her the biscuit. MOST contain wheat, whole eggs, and dairy. So take that into consideration.
BTW babies do just fine chewing with their gums and the chances of a baby choking on something they are self feeding is much lower than choking from something someone places in their mouth. She would have to use her tongue to move the biscuit back before she could choke on it. Most kids just spit things out that they can't chew. However if you place food in the mouth you can place it far enough back that they are forced to swallow.

There are also teething cookies in the store that you can buy to help your little one. These cookies are recommended for children over the age of 6 months, and who have already begun eating solid foods. This cookie dissolves very quickly, usually once it touches their mouth. It’s good that is does dissolve so quickly because this will make it harder for them to choke on it; however it can be pretty messy. I think that the cookies work well because it not only helps your child temporarily relieve their discomfort, but it also works well as a distraction for them. They end up having so much fun making a mess they forget all about their gums.

What kind of cookies were they? My six month old is able to eat the Arrowroot Cookies just fine, they pretty much melt in the mouth. My daughter also eats shredded chicken and beef, cooked carrots and green beans, diced pears and peaches as well as all the Gerber puff snacks. She also has four teeth.

Teething cookies shoudlnt choke your baby. She's plenty old to start eating I would think. Your baby cant really chew yet so she'll gnaw and drool on it until its mushy making it easy to swallow. They don't stay hard and in one piece for long. Good Luck

Now is fine. I started mine at four months, but they were bottle fed. The Arrowroot Cookies, and the Zweiback toast may seem hard, but they disolve quickly when mixed with saliva.

I started them as soon as hand went to mouth so 4-6 months. They are supposed to be hard, it is like a dog bicuit, something to teeth on.

They don't bite them off and chew, they gnaw at them to relieve the teething pain (itch). Don't worry, give her one and keep on eye on her 'til you're satisfied there's no problem.
