table food question

I'm sorry if I sound stupid but I really don't know.  My babies have been on solids now for 2 months and I've pretty much introduced everything.  They stare at us in what we are eating.  Could I give them some table foods at all at 7 1/2 months old?  They don't have any teeth yet, does that make a difference?  When I say table food I mean things like cottage cheese or other soft cheeses, soups, etc.  Also, what about puffs I keep hearing about or cheerios or teething biscuits?  Do they need teeth for these things, are they too young?

    They have teeth, they are just hiding under their gums.  Kids can chew all kind of things without teeth.

    By 8 months our LO was eating nothing but table foods. I would give them some puffs, or cheese, or cottage cheese and see how they do.  As long as they eat it, they should be fine.

    They are under the gums ready to pop out any minute actually, poor little girl and boy, the teething is at it's peak!

    Thanks for the info!

    We started giving Katie table food right around then.  She would stare us down for food too.  We started with easy thing pancakes, bread, soft fruit, cherioes, puffs (they are in the baby isle gerber makes them.  They are very airy and just melt in their mouths)  I am not sure about the soft cheeses but we started doing american and some mild cheese around 8-9 months. Don't worry about the lack of teeth they gum everything. Katie now eats just about everything we eat and still has no teeth.  She will each chicken, quesadillas, pizza all with no teeth....not sure how the girl does it but my girl can eat!

    Hayden had no teeth break through until 10 months and he was on table foods before that. We would do puffs, yogurt melts, and cherrios quite a bit. (These are still favorites of his). You could also do like string cheeses.
