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! You must be wondering how to make teething biscuits at home ? 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!

Yamini says
Doctor, Can I bake these using a microwave? I have tried few cookies before in the MW. Haven’t been using microwave since pregnancy cause there is a lot of debate on how unsafe/safe it is. Hence the question.
Thanks in advance!
Dr Hemapriya says
You can use an old pressure cooker as an oven replacement.
Add salt to an old pressure cooker and put the lid without whistle . Heat the cooker for 10-15 minutes on medium flame. This is similar to preheating an oven.
Now transfer the biscuits to a tray ( not plastic) and keep it over the salt in the cooker. Transfer the lid without whistle and bake the cookies for 15- 20 minutes on low flame
Sathya says
Should I avoid both gasket and whistle for this method?
Dr Hemapriya says
For which food preparation dear? Biscuits?
