Do you give your 7 month old Gerber puffs?

Melnat2007

A couple of people have told me to try those Gerber puffs as a fist finger food. I looked for them today and on the container it says for babies 1 year and older?? Does anyone give them to their DC anyway?

We started them at 6.5 months.  DS doesn't like purees so those and bananas are really the only solids he eats.

Amy Schramm

No. ?We're not giving him anything but purees til at least 9 months, per my ped.

We just started giving them to him last week. At first I just gave him 1/2 of one to make sure he could handle it, and it was fine.

He actually can already pick them up (pincher grasp)! I was surprised as I thought they didn't learn that until later on.

Yep... we started right around 7 months. DD LOVES them... she gets so excited and squeals when we pull out the Puffs container!! lol

No we were told to wait until 9 months for any finger foods per pedi.  She said it is still too much of a choking hazard this young.

yep! we started around 6 months too...she choked on one at first...so I stopped for a few weeks and tried them again in smaller pieces...she does great with them now! She loves them.

We started even earlier with mum mums...she's never had a problem with these and they keep her busy for a good while:O)

We started giving them to DD at 7 months and she loves them!

Mrs.McLovin

Started them at 6.5 months! DS loves them. Then we moved on to yogert melts, mum mums, banana chunks, graham crackers and pasta.

Yes. We started with Mum Mums, but she got puffs sometime around 7.5 months. I have searched my can of Puffs up and down and cannot find anything on it that mentions waiting until a year old. How strange!?! Mine has a label that says it's okay for babies who can crawl, pull themselves up, etc.

We started at around 5.5 months, after her first teeth were in.  I only let her have one or two at that point, but she never had a problem with them.  Now she wants them every time I put her in her high chair.  She can gobble a handful down in a couple of minutes.  My pedi did give us her blessing before we ever gave them to DD.

Our pedi recommended waiting until a first tooth appeared...still waiting!  I bought the Happy Baby puffs, too, the other day in preparation of the big event!
