Babynat Organic Teething Biscuits $9.50 from www.naturebaby.co.nz 24 rusks (40c per rusk) Ingredients: Wheat flour, whole egg, cane sugar, wheat starch, baking powder, ammonium hydrogen carbonate (a raising agent), sweet orange essential oil, vitamin B1 (thiamin) Suitable from: 8 months Wrapped in: Packs of 4 Made in France, these mildly sweet, slightly orange-flavoured teething rusks look like miniature ladyfingers (you know, the kind of biscuits you use to make a trifle or a tiramisu). They're organic and contain no GMOs (genetically modified organisms). The good bits: They taste absolutely lovely, and our eight-month-old baby taste-tester didn't hesitate to reach out for another one when the first one was gone. We think they'd be quite nice for grownups with with a cup of tea. Seriously. The tricky bits: They're not too hard, which isn't really a bad thing, it just means they don't last as long as the traditional hard-as-a-rock teething rusk. They're wrapped in packets of four, which seemed a bit excessive - how many babies are going to eat four rusks in one sitting? - requiring you to wrap up any leftovers. Bottom line: A delicious organic rusk that parents won't mind snacking on either. They're the priciest of the bunch we tried, but not by much, so worth the few extra cents if you prefer organic.
