    Geez I can't remember- I don't often buy them... maybe 5 months for DS and anytime over 6 months for DD1 cos thats when we started solids with her. Will be the same with DD2 as well

    Probably about 7 or 8 months. Handy when you need to keep them quiet for something, like an important phone call or grocery shopping! Lol. they are messy though...DD loves them..mostly all over the floor

    Cant remember for DD1.

    Never for DD2. She can't have anything with dairy in it.

    And 10 months for DD3. Only because we usually give fruit instead.

    I was asking my mum about this just the other day. I've never given them to my kids

    I don't buy biscuits so it's not something I'd thought to give them. I might buy a packet and keep them in my nappy bag for those emergencies when you need to keep them entertained!

    He was having those baby mum mum rice rusks but he's a bit over them now.

    :yeahthat:

    Same for me - never thought of it until I saw a mum in my MG give her bub one. Then I checked out the ingredients next time I went shopping. DS loves them - we always have a couple handy whenever we go out. Very handy for if he's starting to get restless.

    Well DS is 7 months so I gave him one this arvo and he LOVED it!!! So I gave him another! Anyway good to know he likes them and it's something else I can give him cause he has already had vegies, fruit, yoghurt, custard, meat, rice, pasta and rafferty's cereal.

    DD1 was tried on it about 4-5months old but not interested. She loved it by the time she was 8-9months.

    DD2 was 3months. Very early I know but she had an appetite for food. I use to soak them in breast milk and turn in into a mixture and feed her like that. It was one of her favourites.
