If you have a baby who’s past the six month mark, you’ve probably had your first taste of teething! After colic, teething is usually the next painful challenge that most new parents face, and it can go on for a while too. There are many natural remedies for teething troubles, which include the use of special teething biscuits. We’ve been getting lots of queries for healthy teething biscuit recipes for babies. Which is why we’ve scoured the internet and brought you our curated list suitable for babies under one year of age.

Now most biscuit recipes out there use ingredients that aren’t exactly baby friendly – refined flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cow’s milk, honey or whole eggs. Trying to find substitutes for all these can take more time than actually baking the biscuits themselves! The recipes we’ve listed here use safe and healthy ingredients for the most part, and where they haven’t, we’ve offered substitutes. Baking powder is quite common, although the amount is usually minimal – about half a tsp or so for the entire recipe. You can go ahead and skip this too – the outcome will be just as good!

We can’t think of a healthier (or yummier) combination to solve your little one’s teething problems! You can even substitute the pear with any other fruit puree that your baby likes.

10. Prune Baby Biscuits

Now prunes are something we often associate with old people, not young babies. However, these prune baby biscuits from Family Feed Bag will prove that prunes are ideal for everyone, especially when they’re made with homemade prune puree. If you can’t find prunes, don’t stress – use any other fruit puree.

11. Apple Flax Teething Biscuits

Flax is another ingredient most parents shy away from using, but your baby can have it once he is 8 months old. If you’ve never tried it before, start with ground flax seeds in your baby’s cereal and see how he takes it. Then go on to make these yum biscuits from My Little Me! Substitute brown sugar with grated jaggery in the recipe for a more mellow taste.

12. Spiced Coconut Teething Biscuits

Leelalicious has this great teething biscuit recipe that includes coconut flour. You can use regular whole grain flour instead of spelt flour in the recipe.

13. Arrowroot Teething Biscuits

Why feed your baby store bought arrowroot biscuits when you can make them at home? This recipe from Healthy Mama Info is vegan and uses arrowroot which is non-allergenic and may help soothe an achy tummy. Arrowroot also makes biscuits hard and perfect for babies to gnaw on.

14. Homemade Baby Cookies

These cookies from Smart Nutrition are good enough for the whole family, in my opinion!
