I was just wondering, is it ok for a 6 month old to suck/chew on a ginger nut bikkie?
Caden had a try of mine and loved it....sorry if this is a dumb question. ------------- |

The only other thing to consider is there's a lot of sugar in them but as long as he's not eating too many and you clean his gums (and any teeth) afterwards it should be ok. -------------

Thats true Jo, I never thought of that!
Well I have given him some banana in his fresh fruit feeder cos he got angry when I took the ginger nut away, he is happy now lol ------------- |

If he likes banana, you could try the 'bananacle' - get some popsicle sticks cut the banana into 3 pieces and freeze them, my daughter LOVED them and they are great for teething.
But on the gingernut front - they should be fine, but maybe a treat item (as Jo said they do have a wee bit of sugar in them) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Sophie would ONLY eat ginernuts if she had her way  - she loves them and buy they are messy! I was told by a friend that they are one of the 'best' bikkies interms of health - he had a stroke and had to watch what he ate, so he did some research and gingernuts came out on top  .-------------

Leah wouldn't eat rusks so she had gingernuts all the time. Didn't bother me........at least she was eating something! -------------

Cool thanks for the replys. I might wait until he is 7 months and then offer him things like that as a treat.
The bananacle sounds like a coll idea though! ------------- |
