Baby Biscuit
8 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Baby biscuit is not a nutritious food; it contains sugar and starch, and in complementary feeding the priority should be on real foods.
How to serve it by age?
It can be given rarely and in a small amount, without replacing a main meal; preferably softened with milk or yogurt and served by spoon.
A small piece can be given as a snack; but natural snacks such as fruit and yogurt take priority.
⚠️ Allergen information
It usually contains wheat (gluten) and cow's milk; the label should be checked on first offerings.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
It has a texture that softens when wetted in the mouth; still, against the risk of the whole biscuit given into the baby's hand breaking and a large piece slipping into the mouth, the baby should sit upright and be fed under supervision.
📌 Watch out for these
- Because it accustoms the baby to sweetness and takes the place of real foods, it should be chosen occasionally rather than regularly.
- It increases the risk of tooth decay; on days it is given, attention should be paid to dental cleaning.
- Under age 1 it should never replace a meal; the priority of breast milk or formula should be preserved.
