Help. Cannot seem to feed baby solids.

I'm petrified he'll choke.  He can do cheerios and puffs like a charm.. what are some of the foods you give your 8ish to 9ish month old?  (he does get puree's and oatmeal all the time.. just not SOLID solids.)

Oh.. and when I say "like a charm", I mean he can drool all over them and stick them to his hair like a pro.

Bagels. Toast. Banana

I think that's pretty good that he can do cheerios and puffs. My LO still has a hard time with them. Learn infant CPR...it'll make you feel a lot more comfortable.

About the same as you, I am not even brave enough to try cheerios. She eats puffs and purees some times little bits of noodles or baked potatoes.

She's done over cooked pasta, and a few cherrios.  We tried a banana, but she was just pissed, maybe I'll try again.  Try wholesomebabyfood.com, they have some good ideas.

At that age, both my girls were eating a lot of table foods.  Scrambled eggs (for the non-allergic), bits of cheese, bits of meat like deli ham, roasted chicken, pork, etc.  Pancakes, waffles, cut-up fruit, bread, avocado, steamed veggies, etc.  Basically whatever we were eating, just in manageable pieces.

*April2005*

toast (cut up in tiny pieces)
banana
avocado
peas
blueberries (cut in half, started around 9 months)
shredded chicken
meatball/hamburger cut in tiny pieces (closer to 9 months)

My little one was still eating mostly baby food purees, oatmeal, and puffs/cheerios until 9 months. I started with the softer foods like bananas and then progressed from there.  Around that transitional time I also used stage 3 baby foods--like Gerber baby spaghetti, lasagna, etc.  They have tiny pieces of noodles in them, so it got both of us used to her eating more solid type foods.

DD eats hut about anything. Fruits, veggies, chicken, cheese, pancakes, mac&cheese, pasta w/sauce. She's a piggy. Try soft stuff at first. You'll be surprised at how well it goes

She loves dry toast.  We've also done french toast, strawberries (in a netted teether), bananas, sweet potato fries and are about to try some scrambled eggs this weekend.

DS has had baby food of course - have you tried any of the stage 3? They're a lot chunkier without being TOO solid.

DS has had bananas, peaches, pieces of bread/rolls, salmon, chicken, green beans (french cut), mashed potatoes....probably more but I'm not sure. They are much better at it than you think : )
