Maybe the thought never crossed your mind, but Biscotti’s make a great teething biscuit. The cookie is crumbly and, when hard, stays solid so you don’t have to worry about it becoming a choking hazard like some other teething biscuits on the market. The challenge with Biscotti’s is finding plain, nut free versions. The cost of marketed plain versions can also be cost prohibitive. Therefore, I’ve found some great recipes that you can make at home. Plus, they are easy and you can adjust them based on your child’s needs. At http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/teething-biscuit-recipes.html you will find all sorts of variations of the Biscotti recipe. One of my favorites is just the plain vanilla version from their site and posted below.
