How to serve, by age
6 mo+
Once your baby sits steadily, let them grip and gnaw under full supervision. Pick infant teething biscuits with a short ingredient list — low sugar, low salt, no honey.
Choking risk: Moderate
Biscuits that soften and snap quickly in drool shed crumbs that can gag. Stay within arm's reach the whole time, and remove any large broken piece immediately.
If choking ever happens: act immediately — call emergency services (911 in the US) and seek emergency care. Do not wait.
Allergens
Most are wheat-based and may contain milk or egg. Read the ingredient list; watch the first serving.
Common questions
- Teething biscuit or teething toy?
- Edible teething biscuits are food; teethers are toys. Keep the two separate and consistent, so your child learns the rule.
Practical tips
- Wipe hands and mouth afterwards — stuck crumbs redden skin.
- Never during crying, lying down, or car-seat rides; the gagging risk is real.
