"Feed self a cracker..." ?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

WTEFY says that by seven months most babies can feed themselves a cracker.  I think my DS is probably ready to try eating a cracker, but I have no idea what kind to offer him.  Added complication - I was allergic to wheat as a baby so we're waiting until one year to introduce any wheat.

Suggestions?  We've tried rice cakes and those are going okay.

    They are prob talking about the pincer grasp and not all 7 month olds have developed that yet.

    They don't need pincer grasp to feed themselves large items such as biter biscuits or mum mums.  I think that's the sort of thing that they mean.

    I give my daughter the Gerber puffs - it took her about a week or so but she can get them in her mouth pretty easily now. I don't think it means you really have to give your kid a cracker.

    I think that probably just means they can bring something to their mouth, open & chew.  Try a bitter bisquit or other teething thing, like mum mum, doesn't have to be a triscuit or anything.

    Baby Mum Mums from Amazon. Great deal (I also got a discount for their large pack!) and DD gobbles it up like nothing else. If only she would love peas and carrots as much...
