Baby Teething Biscuit Recipes

Growing teeth causes itchness.  My baby loves to have teething biscuits daily.  In the supermarket, 12 biscuits cost around $3 to $4; it's not sustainable!  I started looking for recipes online and found out two sites have the best information I can get.  Below, I summarized them into one page: IMPORTANT CAUTION: When feeding your infant Teething Biscuits or any other food that may pose a choking hazard, it is VERY important to watch the child closely.

Child Property Ownership

IT'S a case of walking before they can even crawl for some very young property owners, with parents setting up their children for property ownership almost from the day they are born.    The far-sighted plan is more common in Europe than Australia but the same benefits apply. As Australian prices continue to rise and affordability worsens, child landlords are expected to become increasingly common here too. Under Australian law, minors (anyone under age 18) can own property in their own name. So there is nothing stopping parents or family pooling their combined birthday and Christmas money for the kids and buying a property for them instead. What better gift than to have a home virtually paid off by the time they move out? But there are some catches. The first is tax and the second is finding a seller willing to enter a contract with a minor including those so young they can't read or write.
