Babies: 9 - 12 Months

So confused about solids.

Ex. I read one book and it says no blueberries until 9 months. Then another website says not until they are 12 months.

Teething biscuits box says 9 months but I see/heard younger ones using them.

So you can see how I am getting overwhelmed and confused by it all.

What sort of foods are your 7 month olds eating?  And how did you decide what they could have and when.

Thanks.

  • We're still on purees.  We waited until 6 months to start solids so he's just now starting to like the textures and be able to swallow them w/o gagging.

  • All Scarlett has had is basic fruits and veggies (EB jarred stuff), Puffs, Pastina (twice), and Oatmeal.  We just started yogurt on Dr's orders.

    I am in no rush for the other stuff or for table foods. We're cool with purees and cereals/rices.

    As far as blueberries go, I think wholesomebabyfood.com has a good section on that.  I did feed Scarlett the Apple/Blueberry mix from EB, but I cleared it with the Dr first.

  • brady has had blueberries and teething biskets.  I really am only staying away from the stuff that is highly allergenic (nuts, strawberries, honey...etc).  I started with things that were easy on his tummy (sweet potatoes, pears, squash...) and have slowly introduced things like broccoli, mangos, and asparagus.

  • I think it just depends on how cautious you want to be, and if there is a history of allergic reactions in your family.  We have none, so I am just staying away from the obvious stuff (honey, nuts, strawberries, etc...).

  • ditto, musicmaker. there are no food allergies in my family. but dh has a milk allergy. so we'll avoid dairy for as long as possible. otherwise i want her try a variety. we haven't done teething bisquits or berries yet. we've done lots of veggies, some fruits, puffs, and cereals. i think we're going to try risotto this week.
