5 Reviews of Teething Biscuits for Baby

From: Food Snob in Israel

On Oct 21, 2007

I am going to totally disagree with everyone on the list. Pasturized honey is fine. Cooked honey (as it is here) is TOTALLY fine and the truth is, milk and soy (and even gluten in the wheat) may be BIGGER problems than botulism from honey would ever be. Botulism is extremely rare, btw. Please do your OWN research before cooking for your baby. Use your OWN assessment of your child's risk factors for disease and cook accordingly. I would DEFINATELY use this recipe (looks like the best one on here) if I had access to soy flour and powdered milk, which I don't in the country I'm in.

    Please, Please, Please do not use this recipe for babies! Unless you change your sweetening choice from HONEY. Babies are not supposed to eat honey because of the botulism risk. Wheat allergies and lactose sensitivity are also concerns for new mothers. My little one started teething at four months and doctors told us honey can kill them. Milk is not an option until they are 1 year old, either. While I do appreciate the effort to submit healthful recipes, I would suggest that you do some research before posting something like this.

    Please do not feed anything with honey to babies less than one year old even if it's cooked. While fatal cases of infant botulism are rare, it's not something you want to expose your child to.

    I agree with the others. DO NOT FEED YOUR BABY HONEY!!!!! OR CORN SYRUP, FOR THAT MATTER, BECAUSE BOTH CAN CAUSE BOTULISM.

    Please no honey! I had Daycare for years. I was trained by the state on what not to feed babies also what to feed them. They said, no honey under 2 (two)years of age.
