7 Important Reasons to Give GekoO Biscuits to Your Baby:
1. Development of Chewing Muscles:
- For babies over 8 months, slightly hard foods support the development of chewing muscles. Our organic biscuits help strengthen your baby's jaw and mouth muscles, which also positively affects the development of speech skills.
2. Dental Development and Health:
- Dental problems are more common in babies fed soft foods. Research shows that when babies are fed too many soft, smooth foods like pudding and pancakes, these foods can cause crooked teeth to grow later in life. Furthermore, because babies eat soft foods easily and comfortably, they may have difficulty eating raw fruits and vegetables as they grow older and become picky about vegetables. Later in life, they may turn to fast food like hamburgers, low-nutrient white bread, and excessive pizza and pasta consumption. This can lead to conditions such as overweight, obesity, and diabetes.
- Ideal for teething, GekoO biscuits' slightly firm texture helps soothe babies' gums. They act as a natural teether.
- In addition, our high-calcium, sugar-free carob biscuits do not cause tooth decay like other conventional products and support baby's tooth and bone development.
3. Nutritional Variety:
- Introducing textures of varying hardness reduces your baby's food pickiness. Our biscuits help your baby become accustomed to different food textures, which will help them accept a wider variety of healthy foods later in life.
4. Practice Safe Chewing:
- Our biscuits break down in a controlled manner, minimizing the risk of choking. This allows your baby to practice chewing safely.
5. Natural and Organic:
- Our biscuits, produced with completely natural and organic ingredients, support your baby's physical development by providing healthy nutrition. They do not contain artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Our whole grains are ungerminated. Our biscuits, rich in omega-3 and made with natural extra virgin olive oil, offer unique nutritional value, helping you meet your baby's daily needs.
6. Expert Opinions:
- Pediatric and nutrition experts emphasize the importance of introducing babies to a variety of tastes and textures of varying hardness after 8 months. Furthermore, feeding babies by picking up food and feeding themselves (BLW) is described by experts as a highly positive feeding style that increases "Independent Feeding Skills" and is desirable for motor development.
- GekoO Biscuits help your baby develop self-feeding skills. This improves hand-eye coordination and a sense of independence.
- When you give our biscuits to your baby, you'll see that they have been formulated in accordance with these recommendations, and your baby will chew on them with great pleasure.
- Of course, your baby should be supervised by you or an adult while feeding, sitting upright. You should never leave your baby alone while feeding.
- The information we provide regarding feeding is for guidance only. As each baby's development and sensitivities may vary, we strongly recommend that you consult your healthcare professional regarding the introduction of solid foods and infant nutrition.
7. Gradual Transition:
- If your baby is teething, you can first soak our biscuits a little and let them soften, or mix them with foods like milk or fruit puree. This way, you'll increase both the nutritional value and flavor of your baby's food. You can also grind them up and use them in cheesecake bases or mosaic cakes. Our biscuits are also perfect for older children who want a sugar-free and healthy diet. You can even treat yourself to GekoO biscuits whenever you pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea.
