Can he eat biscuits or any of those type things?

Question

My son is 6 months, and is teeathing with his 1st, someone told me to try those cookies or whatever they are... he doesnt have teeth so bad idea?

Answer 1

At 6 months my daughter was self feeding, so she was given teething biscuts. On the box it says 9 months, however, as you know, not all children are alike. Just because a product has a specific age listed, doesn't mean it is suitable for you child at that age. Your child may be more advanced than the average child, or a bit slower. If you deside to give them to him you want to make sure, like anything you give to a child, he is supervised.
The biscuts can help some children with the teething process. They can roughen up the gums a bit and help aid in the teeth popping the surface.
Small ice chips can help numb the gums if you don't want to use teething gel.
Other kids just like chewing on a soft toy, or teether.
Good luck !!

Answer 2

Bitter biscuits. He can gum them and they will disolve some-put if he gets a good size chunk it can be a choke hazard. Plus-those biscuits disolve and get on clothes, baby, and anything they touch-it was a mess to clean up and stained a few tops (mine). I would try a paci or some type of teether or a wash cloth that has been in the fridge (cool and chewy). And be careful-my little guy only bites me when he is sleepy and teething-after a bath being his prime time! Keep your shoulders covered:)

Answer 3

at six months he should be able to have some of the baby solids made by Gerber (and others) found in the grocery baby isle, on the back of the box it will tell you physically what the baby should be doing in order to eat it.Usually the cookies and little snacks they need to be able to crawl (hands and knees, not scooching.) I think if you give him baby snacks he should be fine. My (not so intelligent friend) is feeding her 6 month old son popcorn, real cookies, triscuts, and other not so smart snacks, but none the less he is doing fine.

Answer 4

Gerber makes the appropriate teething cookies; stick with a well known (and not store)brand

Gerber or Beechnut; they've been around since our grandma's were infants. You can trust them.

The purpose is to help the teeth cut through; which is why Gerber calls them 'biter biscuits'

Good luck though; my kids comb their hair with 'em!

Answer 5

I gave My toothless girls things like cutup banana, mini marshmallows, red Licorice sticks to suck on & The Teething biscuits are Fine! You just to be attentive & take each away once they get soft & get a chunk off in their mouth . Let Em TRY !

Answer 6

at 6 months your baby might still be a little bit young to know how to move those toddler finger foods around his mouth (his oral skills are not fully developed yet at this age)....you can try those finger puffs (they are "melt aways") and see how your baby does with them. I didn't really give any toddler finger foods to my son till he was able to eat 3rd stage foods fairly well (about 7-8 mos)...that was my first step...when i saw him doing good with 3rd stage...then i introduced the finger puffs...then the biscuits...

The biscuits (even with no teeth) he was able to just kinda suck on it till his saliva softened the biscuits and then he was able to munch on it with his gums....

Whatever you decide to give him...watch him as he eats...those kinds of foods can be a choking hazard especially if your baby is just learning to eat them...

Answer 7

i would try them and just watch him and all hell do it chew on them which will help his gums feel better but i gave them to my daughter and she loved them and i wouldnt worry about choking if your watching him and since he doesnt have teeth he cant bite it into peices to swallow. i also tried crunching ice cubes and putting them in a towel and letting her chew on it i tied it up so it wouldnt fall out because she liked the roughness of the towel also. oragel was also a lifesaver even though she hated the feeling it always made her fall asleep better

Answer 8

I wouldn't use those teething biscuit you can buy @ the store. My brother choked on one when he was little. I would suggest refridgerated teeting toys or my son is 7m and I fed him crackers one day. He did pretty good with them.

Answer 9

he will just gum them...which if he is teething will actualy help him....they get reall soft when sucked on...they do get a little messy so keep a bib on him and you might even put him in the high chair...makes clean up easier....

Answer 10

I bought them when my son was 6.5mo old and he did fine with them. They are very messy so I suggest a highchair and just put him in a diaper and bib. Just watch him carefully, plain and simple. Don't walk away.....
