She grew up in Newfoundland. The bread was very hard. I don't know if it would break apart, but I don't think so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539637 Tue, 03 May 2016 10:33:11 +0000 Madison43 2539637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: yeah, we did BLW with LO1 so I get gagging. The issue I have with this teething wafers is that she was able to break a huge piece off and then it just adhered to her tongue. There was no way for her to move it around in her mouth because it was completely stuck to her tongue and the roof of her mouth. For the Catholic bees, it reminded me of the consistency of communion - it dissolves, but takes a little work to get there. In any event, my goal was to get her something to gnaw on to satisfy her craving for pressure on her gums, not to actually give her something to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539624 Tue, 03 May 2016 10:14:51 +0000 catomd00 2539624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They dissolve so it would be pretty hard to actually choke. Just an FYI, gagging is not choking. Choking is silent. We did BLW and there was lots of gagging involved. It's super scary, but it's also a sign they are learning to move food around in their mouth safely. I did like Mum Mums best, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539618 Tue, 03 May 2016 10:09:07 +0000 MrsSRS 2539618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: 👍👍 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539605 Tue, 03 May 2016 09:47:11 +0000 LindsayInNY 2539605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: @MrsSRS: Personal preference then. Just passing along some cautionary advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539500 Tue, 03 May 2016 08:10:50 +0000 MrsSRS 2539500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right. Just let them gnaw on it while it's still frozen hard and can't break. Then take it away. No more than little scrapings of mush will come off that way. No way the giant chunks my kids would break off of teething biscuits would dissolve quickly enough in their throats to be any safer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539491 Tue, 03 May 2016 08:06:18 +0000 Madison43 2539491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: no doubt, but I imagine that @MrsSRS: takes it away once it's defrosted to the point that pieces break off? </p> <p>I'm also going to try some mesh feeders for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539340 Mon, 02 May 2016 21:23:36 +0000 LindsayInNY 2539340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: Don't use frozen food like bagels! It's a choking hazard. It doesn't break down in their throat like teething crackers would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539314 Mon, 02 May 2016 20:54:06 +0000 ocean81 2539314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the reason I never gave them to my daughter! I feel like they all turn to cement! We tried plum organics teething wafers.</p> <p>Try the mesh feeders! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539306 Mon, 02 May 2016 20:38:12 +0000 MrsSRS 2539306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: Thanks! :grin: We also did a lot of frozen washcloths and water filled frozen binkies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539298 Mon, 02 May 2016 20:25:52 +0000 peaches1038 2539298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im planning on making these but have not yet<br /> <a href="http://www.mamanatural.com/how-to-make-healthy-teething-biscuits/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamanatural.com/how-to-make-healthy-teething-biscuits/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539282 Mon, 02 May 2016 20:05:17 +0000 macintosh 2539282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After trying those Happy Baby biscuits a few times, I totally switched to the Trader Joes version of Ritz crackers. Much cheaper. Lo loved the mesh teether, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539268 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:40:11 +0000 SweetCaroline 2539268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: I think Happy Baby's wafers are very similar to Mum Mums. That being said, we love them both and simply gave small bits and a sippy cup of water when DD was younger.</p> <p>Have you tried a mesh/silicone teether that you can stuff frozen fruit, etc. into? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539266 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:37:59 +0000 Madison43 2539266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: this is kind of genius. I used to freeze washcloths for my older LO chew on, but i never thought about a mini bagel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539256 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:28:32 +0000 MrsSRS 2539256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the stick to the tongue gagging issue with mum mums... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539242 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:13:33 +0000 Madison43 2539242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: @mfa_lady: see, I'd be ok if a piece broke off. This was literally half the cracker and because it's so thin, it was just stuck to her tongue gagging her. I'll try mum mums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539240 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:12:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2539240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby Mum Mums!!!! They're the best. They disintegrate into mush and I give them to my kids at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539238 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:10:49 +0000 MrsSRS 2539238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cut a mini bagel in half so it's a semicircle and freeze it overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539230 Mon, 02 May 2016 18:49:50 +0000 mfa_lady 2539230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: Agree on both counts. Plum Organics are much thicker/harder, but I like Mum Mums because choking isn't really a hazard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539223 Mon, 02 May 2016 18:32:52 +0000 Tidybee 2539223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think plum organics yum Yums are abit heartier. I myself prefer the thinner ones (mum mums) because they dissolve quicker if LO does break a piece off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-biscuit-that-doesnt-break-apart#post-2539207 Mon, 02 May 2016 17:55:50 +0000 Madison43 2539207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO2 just started solids and she loves them so far. She's obsessed with grabbing the spoon herself and also loves any type of frozen teether so I thought a teething biscuit would be perfect for her to gnaw on. Tonight we tried the Happy Baby teeing wafer and it lasted less than one minute before she bit down (no teeth) and it broke it half, leaving her choking on a 2 inch piece of wafer stuck in her mouth. :shocked: No joke, I had to flip her into the baby Heimlich position as my husband pulled out of her mouth. This can't be the way a teething biscuit is supposed to work....anyone have a sturdier suggestion? </p>
