Gerber Biter Biscuits Reviews

My son has eight teeth and is learning to pick up food and put it in his mouth.  I love to give him Gerber Graduates Biter Biscuits because he can hold it himself and gnaw on it for a good ten minutes.  It is large, so it teaches him how to hold his food to self-feed.  It is the first step in our self-feeding routine.  They are very messy though.  Be sure to have a wet cloth near by when your little one is finished.  There will be Biter Biscuit mess on his face, hands, clothes and high chair.  Don't make the mistake I made by giving him his first Biter Biscuit in the car seat while driving;...

I bought these for my fifth son, they weren't around with my older boys, but I thought what a great idea! I didn't realize what I was in for.

The idea of the finger foods bitter biscuits is good. I like that they promote independence. I was however very surprised at how incredibly messy these were. My son liked them but would never eat the whole thing. He would end up being covered in soggy, sticky cookie. Also, when they get soggy the child could bit off a bigger bite than they probably should. I'm really not impressed. I can give my son other finger foods that are better, less messy, and safer.

My son goes through a biter biscuit faster than I can blink, but somehow in the sheer moments it takes for him gum it down to just a little crumb, he has slathered himself in crusty biscuit remains from the top of his head to his toes. Not recommended during car seat travel. Gives my son the necessary outlet for his sore gums.

I love being able to give my baby these biscuits! They are good for her and she can feed herself, a great starter food when feeding herself. They are easy to give her and come in a box, individually wrapped so you can keep them fresh and with you where ever you are!
