Teething hurts and it hurts to watch.
This morning I decided to make Rosie a treat. A helpful treat, using the baby food and cereal that I need to use up.
I'd imagine that the recipe would work the same using homemade cereals and food, but I can't say for certain.
I saw plenty of recipes for homemade teething biscuits. Some had too many ingredients, some had ingredients that I didn't have on hand... for one reason or another, they didn't seem the right fit. So, I decided to make my own. I plan to try a few new things out later (different flours, thicker/thinner cookies, etc), but here is what I've come up with for now:
Homemade Teething Biscuits
1 cup flour
1 cup infant oatmeal cereal
1 cup (2 jars) baby food
1 tablespoon baby food
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Preheat oven to 425.
Mix all ingredients well.
Dust surface with flour and roll out about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut into shapes using cookie cutters.
Bake 20-25 minutes, flipping every 5-10 minutes. Make sure they are cooked until HARD.
I don't think it's necessary, but I'm going to store ours in the freezer. Just because everything for a teething baby seems better in the freezer.
Rosie enjoyed hers. We did need to cook ours a little longer, which is why I added a possible additional 5 minutes to the cook time in the recipe. All in all though, it was successful and, most importantly, seemed to help (or at least distract) my poor teething baby for a moment.
