Featured Response 💬 

“When I was a kid my mom could get me to eat absolutely anything by putting ketchup on it. Meats, vegetables, even collard greens. Hopefully my baby will be as willing to try something with a sauce when he is older.”

- Community Mom

That’s such a fun trick! Fingers crossed your little one takes to sauces like you did – it's amazing what a bit of creativity can do at mealtime! - Danielle 😊

superhealthykids

Raise your hand if you're tired of all the overpriced teething biscuits with ingredients you can't pronounce. 🙋 

Well, let me tell you a secret, I've got a treat for your little toothy monster!

Get ready for this... DIY teething biscuits.

They are easy to whip up, healthy, and the best part? You only need four simple ingredients.

Ingredients 📝

  1. 2 Cup Oats – Reach for your regular rolled oats

  2. 1 Medium Banana – The riper, the better. Adds that sweet touch.

  3. 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil – It's the magic glue that binds everything together plus, rumor has it, it's soothing for those pesky gums!

  4. 1/8 Teaspoon Cinnamon – Optional, but let's be honest, who can resist a hint of cinnamon?

Instructions 👩‍🍳

  1. Dust off that food processor and blend your oats into a fine powder.

  2. Toss in the banana, coconut oil, and cinnamon. Pulse until you have a beautiful, moldable dough.

  3. Shape 'em up! Roll your dough into 12 baby-sized batons. Keep them soft, rounded, and about 1-inch thick.

  4. Place your biscuit batons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, then flip 'em and bake for another 5-10 minutes.

  5. Let them cool before serving, and remember: you can freeze these little lifesavers for those unexpected tooth eruptions!
