When your baby starts teething, finding safe and effective ways to soothe their discomfort becomes a priority. One natural and time-tested option is teething rusks, a hard biscuit-like snacks designed to help babies through the teething phase. But not all teething rusks are created equal. At Lil' Nibbles, we make healthy, sugar free teething rusks that not only help relieve teething pain but also double as sugar-free biscuits for older children and even adults!
What Are Teething Rusks?
Teething rusks are firm, chewable snacks that soothe sore gums by allowing babies to gnaw and apply gentle pressure on their erupting teeth. Think of them as the original teething toy, but one that’s actually edible and nutritionally beneficial.
Why offer babies Teething Rusks?
Soothes Sore Gums: The firm texture applies gentle pressure to tender gums, providing relief from teething discomfort.
Supports Oral Development: Chewing on rusks helps strengthen jaw muscles and promotes the development of oral motor skills.
Encourages Self-Feeding: The design of teething rusks allows babies to grasp and hold them, fostering independence in feeding.
Nutritional Value: Lil' Nibbles dietitian-approved rusks are made with nutritious ingredients!

When Can Babies Start Eating Teething Rusks?
Most babies are ready for teething snacks around 6 months, once they begin sitting up and showing signs of oral readiness (like mouthing toys or solid foods). Always supervise your baby while they chew and consult your GP/paediatrician if unsure.
