Embarssingly dumb solids question

So if my baby doesn't have teeth, can she have cheerios?  And what are these mum mums everyone writes about?  Do they dissolve in her mouth? Will the cheerios?  she just turned 8 months and i'm making her purees.

    Yes she can.  Their gums can chew pretty good.  DD only has 4 bottom teeth and gets finger foods, we never did purees.  She has been getting finger foods and puffs (which are like cheerios) since 6 1/2 months.  If you are curious, look up baby led weaning.

    Yes, but I would start on the "puffs" first because they melt in their mouth, so it's a good intro for them to try feeding themselves something and experiencing something other than a puree.  They have the work out the "chewing/gumming" thing a bit to start.  I've also heard to soak the Cheerios for a bit to soften them when first trying them out.  I started the puffs a few weeks ago, and just tried dry Cheerios a few days ago (DS is 8 mo + 1 week, and only just got 2 bottom teeth in past couple weeks) and he did fine with them.
