EBF - puffs and no teeth

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I EBF and decided not to start solids until 6 months.  My LO has no teeth and now I'm unsure of when to start with the snacking of puffs, mum mums and/or cheerios.  If you were/are in a similar situation, when did you start?  Does the lack of teeth even matter?

    Teeth do not seem to matter for my DD, she doesnt have any yet and eats puffs like she has never been fed before. That being said..She seems to prefer puffs over purees now, ooops

    My DS has no teeth. I just started offering puffs last week. I'm mostly doing it to help him practice picking them up and getting it in his mouth. It does not matter if they have teeth for the puffs because they dissolve. I would wait a while on cheerios since they would need to be chewed a bit.

    Teeth don't matter. We started mum mum before DD had teeth, she has 1 half out and we started puffs a couple days ago. We're also doing baby led weaning so no purees and she eats normal food just fine.

    Teeth don't matter :)

    DD has had avocado, sweet potato, chicken, cucumbers, broccoli, eggs, strawberries, and puffs and has 0 teeth. Their gums are more than capable of chewing :)

    We are also doing baby led weaning.

    We offered puffs after we'd introduced most Stage 1 foods and he could gets the puffs to his mouth on his own (the veggie sticks and wagon wheels were easier to grasp at first).  We haven't given cheerios or mum mums yet because they don't dissolve as quickly.

    We started giving camden puffs and cheerios at 7 months and she just gummed the heck out of them it was fine..  But I do a combination of BLW and purees so she knew how to chew early.
