Melt-in-mouth Baby Biscuits

Baby biscuits and other finger food are great to keep baby self-entertained during meal times.

though I still need a little help holding onto the biscuit.

Mummy thinks melt-in-the-mouth Rice Crackers are safer, compared to other baby biscuits,
for Beginning eaters like myself.

Take One Baby Bites are especially popular with Singaporean mommies.
I suppose it's because it's cheap ($2.40 for pack) and easily available in NTUC Fairprice.

BUT my mummy is not about to give this to me. This Baby Rice Cracker is made in China.
How quickly people forget about the massive recall for China-made milk and dairy product in 2008 when this product was one of those that were taken off the racks.
Well... this product might be tested (or assumed to be) ok now,
but my mummy doesn't want to take the risk and be shocked like how
this Mummy did in 2008 during the recall.



We'll be sticking to made in Japan Pigeon baby biscuits which my korkor was taking.

Pigeon Small Fish Rice Crackers
Ingredients:
Rice, Cornstarch, sugar, fructo-oligosaccharide, salt, small fish powder, calcium carbonate.

cost $4.90 per pack, 2x the amount of Baby Bites, but I suppose we pay for the peace of mind.
Available at all major departmental stores.
You can always wait for these stores to have their 20% sale and grab a few of these.

Recently, Mummy found, by chance, another brand of Baby Rice Crackers:

Wakodo Rice Crackers (Akacyan Osenbei)
Ingredients: Rice (domestic production - Japan), rice/potato starch, sugar, table salt and calcium carbonate, the pyrophoric acid iron.

cost $4.50 per pack,
Available at Yamakawa Super - Japanese Supermarket at Square2 and Central
or you can try Cold Storage and Isetan's supermarket.

Wakodo is a reputable brand in Japan and has its own line of formula milk and other baby food.

Think the next time we go Square2 or Central,
we'll get the
Wakodo Rice Crackers with Vegetables (Pumpkin, carrot, spinach)

Mummy likes these Wakodo and Pigeon baby biscuits not only because they melt in the mouth but also because they are animals' milk free.

Cow's milk is listed on "Super Baby Food" as
"the food most notorious for causing allergies in young babies".
Since I'm on breastmilk, Mummy wishes to introduce cow's milk to me as late as possible.

So don't just buy any biscuit for me, kay?
