 Don't Take my Biscuit Mommy Apr 30, 2010
By Ryan Encarnacion
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R210HZW9R0GC78 I was going to write about how much my son LOVES Earth's Best Teething Biscuits, but I thought he could just show you how much he LOVES them in this video. The biscuits do get soft after some time, but we just break of the soft piece and give him back the rest of the biscuit. I would advise not to give these biscuits to a child until they've learned to chew puffs with their gums, so even if they were able to break of a piece themselves, they know to chew on it before swallowing. My son is 7 months old in this video by the way.

Great product May 11, 2008
By V. Bowman
I love how they come in individual packages. They taste good. I know because I tried one. They're about as sweet as a graham cracker but as hard as a ginger snap. Like everyone else said, they do get goopy, but babies are messy and the sooner you come to terms with that, the better you'll be as a mom! Most importantly, they're not made of horrifying bleached flour or high-fructose corn syrup (still don't know what that is...). These are the best, so stop wasting your time looking!

 Major choking hazard. Dec 18, 2011
By S. Clements
The ped suggested I get my 6mo old teething biscuits. I got a package of these and the barley ones yesterday. I gave him one of these. He was gumming it pretty well, with both my husband and I present. Yes, it was messy, but he liked it and seemed happy. I was keeping a pretty close eye on him. He dropped it in his lap and it got stuck, so I went to pick it up and noticed much of it was missing. I immediately looked into his mouth and saw a piece. As I started reaching for him, he had a coughing fit and inhaled it. I immediately picked him up, tipped him over, and gave a few good pats on his back which dislodged the nearly quarter sized chunk. I don't trust giving these to him any more.
On the ad for the barley ones, a reviewer raving about the product wished to start out by telling us all how we need to supervise our children while they're trying out new foods because food is "dangerous". This may not be helpful, but.... duh, ya think? So because one person thinks these type of biscuits are the bees knees, that makes the rest of us incompetent parents? Hardly. Not only am I a parent, I have also been a healthcare professional for nearly a decade now.
I love the company, but I don't trust these biscuits. Period. I gave it 2 stars, because my son went crazy for them and I am impressed with that. Perhaps I'll grind them up and turn it into cereal instead.

Messy, but well-liked Jan 25, 2008
By A. Brooks
These are definitely messy (but no messier than graham crackers), but they don't stain anything because there's no artificial coloring. My son seems to enjoy them very much. They're nice and hard, so they truly are excellent for teething. I don't worry as much about my son choking on these as I do when he eats graham crackers. These are difficult to break into pieces small enough to choke on (it can still be done--so always supervise).

 All it takes is one death, and these will be pulled from market Jan 03, 2012
By Idiotpathic
We're pretty avid Whole Foods shoppers now, and have felt pretty good about purchasing organic baby food for our now 9.5 month old son. Earth's Best brand has been popular with him, so we bought these teething biscuits recently. Today, he could have died eating one.
Although I'm an anesthesiologist, and half of my job is to "protect people's airways", one needn't be a medical professional to realize why these biscuits are dangerous. Most babies get their front teeth (upper and lower incisors) first, long before molars arrive. So, they're limited to biting with their front teeth, and only mashing with their gums (where their molars will someday erupt). These biscuits are great for the first 5 minutes, baby happily chomping away on the hard surface. Then, they soften. Pretty soon, baby bites clean through the biscuit with their front teeth (size of chunk depending on how far they had inserted it into their mouth at the time), and the chunk that remains in their mouth is WAY too hard to mash with gums. Baby has nothing to do but try to spit it out (difficult at this age), or swallow it whole (if lucky enough for it to be a small piece), or have it completely occlude their airway. We were able to quickly fish one large chunk out with our fingers, but our poor soon started gagging, tearing, and wretched once before something resolved (still don't know if he swallowed a large piece or if it ended up on ground), but not before we scooped him up and tried to knock it loose with some back blows.
In any case, although the kids may love these, all it would take would be one infant death from choking to prompt a recall or something. Why risk your own kid?
