Chamomile and Carrot Teething Biscuits
Our Chamomile and Carrot Teething Biscuits are calming and soothing for babies. This is also a great way to use up blackened or over-ripe bananas. Chamomile is known to have a calming, soothing effect. You can also replace chamomile with pure mint tea, which is cooling and may help with swollen, sore gums.
