I remember a yellowish package being available when my brother was still teething. Is this no longer available in the us? Baby mum mum are on the shelves but these are a melt in your mouth kind of product, not a good long chew for a teether in my opinion.
Any ideas on where I can get some or a similar substitute?
Thanks

I see them still at the grocery store.
But amazon has them:
https://www.amazon.com/Brandt-Zwieback-Rusk-Toast/dp/B006...
It is called Zwieback and a product from Germany.
My nephew used these for teething. At one point he got a chunk off and started choking on it and turned blue. If his dad wouldn't have noticed and acted quickly he could have died.
I remember Zweibeck. IT's made by Nabisco. I think you can buy it online from Amazon. I Googled "where to buy zweibeck toast." There is a picture of the yellow box. I only did a quick glance. You may be able to find a local source if you spend more time looking.
The grocery store where I shop will order food they don't stock.
You can make your own. Dry out the bread of your choice in the oven.
We weren't allowed to use them or any other "food" like item in child care because kids died from them. If it breaks off into chunks it's a choke hazard and too dangerous to have in the center. We had the frozen rings that they could chew on at home. At the center there were washcloth looking things with firm corners that were great for chewing on.
Zwieback is a choking hazard because it would get sticky, break off in chunks, and not dissolve. For teething needs, use non-edible devices.
don't know if they're still available, i'm just remembering several of my various little brothers choking on them as teething babies.
