Rusks

Hi. I want to give my 6 month old a rusk as he is teething. I have heard you can get muslin bags that are safe to put food in for babys with apple or rusks to avoid choking. Can anyone tell me where I get these bags or suggest another idea? Cheers

apparently also, the old fashioned way to make rusks is to put marmite on toast and then cook them a bit longer in the oven to make them properly hard. (Sounds yuk lol!)

I have a great recipe for Muesli teething Biscuits, (exactly like rusks, but a heck of a lot cheaper!).

1C flour
1C Farex Muesli
1tsp Baking Powder
2Tbsp Spreadable butter or Margarine
1/4C Sugar (I made them without the sugar and they were fine!)
1/2C prepared formula

Mix everything except milk in a bowl. Rub butter through until completely mixed.
Add milk in a think stream and mix. Stop adding milk when you can press the dough together to make a ball that is not dry and crumbly. Roll into an evenly shaped cylinder 20cm long. Dip a sharp serrated knife into cold water and cut into 24 pieces. Flatten or roll into crayon shapes (I did this, easier to hold).
Bake at 150 degrees celcius for 20-30 minutes until lightly browned. Leave to cool completely before putting into container.

This works, they last for ages, and are a lot cheaper. They don't break, the just go soggy like a rusk, so minimal chance of choking for baby!

if you had an older baby, like almost one, could you use milk or soy milk (since you can add it int heir food by then) or even breast milk, or would breast milk be a bit runny?
