Feeding cheerios etc...

Hello ladies

I know it has been awhile since I have posted (please forgive me)... I was just wondering about giving your LO's cheerios, the gerber puffs, etc... I was in the store the other day and saw the gerber puffs on the shelf and really wanted to get them (I think I wanted them but don't judge LOL) but I was reading the label and it said "3 signs your baby is ready for these".... Unfortunately my son did on 1 out of the 3 (makes a chewing motion with his mouth).  I know the right age for this is about "crawling" DS is not crawling right now.  He lunges forward from a sitting position and puts his legs behind and pushes up with his arm but does not fully undertand to go on "all 4's" just yet.  He has his 2 bottom teeth and his top ones will be making their debut shortly (I think).  Just curious when you starting giving your LO's these items or if you even are?

Thanks ladies :)

    DS has been eating puffs and cheerios for a few months. Now I give him almost anything I'm eating.

    I gave mine puffs before she started crawling. At first I had to watch her because she didn't know what to do with it in her mouth but she figured it out pretty quick. It also really helped with her coordination with her fingers to mouth. SHe loves them now and we're working on giving her more "everyday" foods that DH and I eat. I would just give it a try and if LO seems to completely detest the idea then whold off for a while.

    We started giving him a few puffs here and there before he was 6 months old but sucked on them and would gum them. He started crawling at 8 months. Now he gets cheerios or rice chex daily. We dont even buy the puffs or any baby snacks anymore. He gets bites of our food now.

    Fifi does a military crawl and only has the bottom two teeth. We started giving her puffs. She didn't get the concept at first, then the first two times she seemed taken aback by the feel/taste of them. She, too, slightly choked a couple of times but the puffs melt so quickly when moist I wasn't really worried.

    I started giving DS the puffs about 2 weeks ago. He loves them. I buy the Target brand since it is the same thing and cheaper. DS is crawling and standing while holding on to something. He is also walking behind is walker toys. But that has been within the last week or so that he started the standing and walking behind a toy.

    We started feeding LO cheerios around 7 months which was before he started to crawl (at 8 months). He gagged on them a bit at first, but now he's really good at chewing them and he really loves them too. I think he stopped gagging on cheerios around 8 months (LO is almost 9 months now).

    DD eats mostly what we eat... unless we are eating something unhealthy.
