What kind of crackers do you give LO?

MsAlyss · March 2011

I've been giving him unsalted saltines, but they make a flippin' mess!

Are there any crackers that don't dissolve into a pile of crumbs after the first bite?

Obviously I'm not a cracker eater Or I would know this!

baby goldfish are the best I think for minimal mess, but as far as everyday basis, ritz, club, graham crackers, saltines, plus baby goldfish. We like to mix it up.

I give her any type of cracker, honestly, but graham crackers, goldfish and mini ritz crackers seem to make the least amount of mess.

Whole Foods brand honey graham crackers are really good

Pepperidge Farm crackers- wheat/variety pack

Goldfish

I try to only give LO crackers without high fructose corn syrup. Most crackers at the grocery store chains use this ingredient.

Hmmm... we don't have any issues with the saltines...Maybe it's the off brand I buy?....

Also triscuits which LO adores. I swear she knows exactly when I open that box...

Veggie Chips (not really a cracker)...I don't remember the brand but LO suddenly loves them. They are unsalted and baked and have three different flavors in the bag.

Graham Crackers...I use mostly as a treat or snack not with a meal

Toddler Mum-Mums...easy on the go crackers (2 crackers per package)

Wheat Thins didn't go so well. LO refused to bite them and would stuff the whole square in her mouth and choke.

If you're anywhere near a BRU try these:

They come in berry, apple & carrot and banana I believe. Very little mess and takes DD a little while to eat. We use them as an appetizer at restaurants for her, she loves them!

If it's a cracker, DD will eat it. ritz, graham, goldfish, saltine. We rotate so she gets a variety

I've never heard of these. I'm going to give them a try Thanks!

I tend to shy away from stuff with lots of salt or sugar, hence the unsalted saltines

oyster, gold fish (the cheese ones, graham, and the pretzel ones), ritz, townhouse...

We always have cracker crumbs. I just decided to bite the bullet and bought a DustBuster... Wink

We give goldfish grahams (loves these but won't eat regular goldfish!) and Kashi 7 whole grain crackers on a regular basis. He loves the kashi with a little bit of peanut butter smeared on. At one point, he liked hummus on the kashi, but he has vetoed that as of lately.

Gold fish or Biter Biscuits from Gerber

DS is really big on crunchy foods so we have been giving him a lot of crackers lately. His favorites are definitely graham crackers, saltines and cheez-its.

DS is also in feeding and speech therapy and his feeding therapist recommend that we try and find things that are longer and smaller to help with some of his oral problems and I found these at the grocery store the other day. DS loves them and they make literally no mess plus they help with the feeding issues!

We've also done the puffs, biter biscuits and those arrow root cookies but the cookies and biscuits are SO messy and he always ends up with them all over himself.
