Pureed to Solids

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
Hey ladies! I started feeding my son rice cereal and fruits at 4 months. At 5 months oatmeal and fruits/veggies and now at 7 months purred pasta/meats. I introduced the mesh feeder last night with a frozen banana and he loved it! He still has no teeth yet but I am wondering when I can start giving him other foods. Sounds dumb I know as he cant chew, but I don't see anything wrong with giving him a cracker or a teether cookie to get all soggy. I just worry most about him choking. Thanks for your advice!

    He absolutely can chew.  They chew with their gums.  Molars are the chewing teeth and they don't get those until after a year and kids definitely are eating finger foods before a year.  Give him pasta, toast strips, cheese, soft pieces of chicken or beef, soft fruits and veggies.

    I started giving DS1 mushy stuff around 8 months, I think.

    Yup, all this! My DD is just now cutting her first tooth at 8 months but has been eating cheese, pasta, soft-cooked veggies and ripe fruits with no problem. Their little gums are very strong!

    Start to try with puffs or mums cookies for fun. They dissolve.
