Has anyone gave their LO teething cookies/biscuits? My LO is teething (she has her 1st 2 bottom teeth).. and I tried giving her the mum mums, and she bit a piece off and kinda gagged/choked.. so I immediatley threw it away and said no way... maybe I over-reacted but Im terrified that my LO is going to choke and I wont be able to help her. I am CPR certified (as i took the course when LO was born).. but still.. I guess im a bit nervous.
The reason I ask is because I seen some gerber teething cookies, but they seem so easy to bite off/crush. I remember back year ago, they had these cookies that seemed hard as a rock so babies could gnawl on them with the gums and not be able to break off until it was soggy enough from their saliva... but I havent been able to find anything like this hard enough... have any of you?
Re: Teething Biscuits/Cookies
thanks for your responses... I bought a mesh holder thingy that i put bananas, sliced carrots, and other soft veggies/fruits, in so that she can actually chomp on without chunks actually going in her mouth.. she seems to love it... I think I will just hold off a little longer until I think shes ready to actually swallow something other than baby food.
Eta: it did however make a big mess once soggy but he loved them and it was something to occupy him while I made his food
