My little guy cut his first two teeth just over a week ago. Some babies are champs with teething, but mine, not so much. Miles was constantly gnawing on his hands {or anything he could get is mouth on, including me}, he was cranky, refused to nap, got sick, and just wasn’t his sweet, happy self until those suckers popped through.
I meant to buy some teething biscuits at the store but kept spacing it, so I just made some myself! With a quick google I landed on Bridget’s blog My So-Called {Mommy} Life who had a simple recipe for teething biscuits.
The great thing about making these yourself is you know exactly what goes in them and what your baby is consuming. And these biscuits are made of rice cereal, wheat flour, a banana, coconut oil, water and cinnamon. That’s it!
Baby likes!! I’ve got these on hand for the next round of teething!

Ingredients
1 cup infant rice cereal
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 mashed banana
2 tsp cinnamon
4-8 tbsp water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425.
Mix everything together in a medium sized bowl, starting with 4 tbsp of water and adding more if necessary. Mix well until a dough forms (I used my hands). Roll out on a floured surface until about 1/4"-1/2" thick. Cut out shapes using cookie cutter or cut into squares. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake for 15 minutes.
Let cool completely. Store in air-tight container. These can also be stored in the freezer.
Notes
**supervise child closely while eating these, they should get soggy and goopy but I am not guaranteeing your child won't bite of big chunks.

This is perfect!!! I actually did a post on how I was having trouble finding teething biscuits that weren’t made in China. You mean, I can make it at home? Awesome. Thanks for the great recipe! http://chocolateandcarrots.com/crackersandcarrots/2013/01/teething
What a little Heart-Breaker!!!! He is absolutely Adorable!!!! Thank-You for sharing.
Yay! I just had my second baby 6 weeks ago, and have been on the hunt already for healthy baby food recipes. Love this!
He could not be ANY cuter!! I hope life is going well for you cute thing!! xoxoxo
This is the cutest thing EVER! I almost want to have another baby just so I can make these. sniff sniff.
Can I use home made brown rice cereal instead of the processed store junk?
absolutely! great idea:)
What a great recipe! thank you!! Should they be golden and hard like an actual biscuit when done?
They will be hard and they will be darker in color than an actual biscuit (like a pillsbury biscuit?). The color in the picture is pretty accurate!
Also, how long can they be kept in an airtight container? And from your experience once they nibble on a certain piece should that piece be thrown out right after due to bacteria? Wasn’t sure about this…
A few days in the fridge, but you can freeze them for 3-4 weeks.
Just a quick note to say thanks for the post – made these for my 8 month old (with my 3 yr old) yestereday (so got an activity out of it as well) – went over well with both of them. Actually, my 3 yr old is eating an awful lot of them – but I figure it doesn’t really do any harm. Thanks for this – we’ll make them again
Awesome! I’m so glad your kiddos liked them!!
Oh these look brilliant!
I would love for you to link up at the Friday Baby Shower – the link party for all things pregnancy and new baby. We have a special focus on teething this week. Alice @ Mums Make Lists
