Rusks
Sorry if I'm being a bit ignorant, but I just had a question about Rusks that I wondered if people could help me with.
As far as they go for a first early weaning food (which I keep reading about) - surely they're the worst possible given they're processed, full of sugar (and probably salt too), and contain wheat, which isn't suitable until 6 months?
Am I missing something with them? If so, why do so many people feed them to their babies?!
This isn't meant to cause an arguement about early weaning or what to feed your baby, but I'm just curious I guess, as it seems a bit strange to me. xx

Ds1 has probably only had 2 rusks in his life!!
I forget to buy them when we are shopping as there are so many alternatives. xx
I don't intend to try Sophie on anything containing any sugar until 1 at the very earliest, partly due to guidelines and partly due to my horrendous sweet tooth - I don't want her getting that!
Until then, I will protest with all my might that veggies a treat, yum yum!! haha xx
I'll be avoiding them there are nicer things to give as a treat!
I suppose if you didn't know then you'd think they were, not the most appealling sweets to look at but you're definitely onto something! xx
I don't know why he thinks the word "sweeties" is better than "fruit"...?!
But he has got to nearly 2 years thinking raisins, apple and banana chunks are sweeties!! heehee - naughty mummy!!! xx

Why waste them on babies, they are delicious little beasts. Eat them all yourselves!
