Question

What age can my baby hold a rusk and eat it?

Answer

Babies develop at different rates so some will be able to hold and feed themselves finger foods from about 7 months, while others may take a bit longer. We think that most children will be able to feed themselves a rusk by about 9 months of age. You might want to offer half a rusk to start with so it's easier for little hands to hold.

 

Farley's rusks are a perfect texture for those new to finger foods as they dissolve easily in the mouth but don't crumble and create a choking risk like some other biscuits might.
