table food for baby?

Question

My mil recently made a comment about how all of her kids were putting back spaghetti and cheerios at almost 8 months and doesn't understand why we're still giving puréed food and oatmeal. What are you guys doing as far as table food? My LO will be 8 months November 12th and still has no teeth. Am I crazy for thinking she isn't ready/fear of choking?

Answer

We do a mix of both, but he prefers"adult food"...

Answer

I did baby led weaning with my son he absolutely hates purées. He eats whatever we eat. At first I was scared about giving him solids, choking was my biggest fear. But after gagging himself a few times he's learned how to eat slowly and how to chew all the way at 7.5 months old

Answer

Wow I guess I'm out of the loop. I've only given my LO purees and oatmeal/rice cereal. I don't know enough about when to give them table food and what's ok for their tummy. I need to do some research. I'm glad you posted this!

Answer

My doctor told me that anything with the consistency of cooked linguini is fair. My baby eats everything that I can make soft and small enough!

Answer

Ours eats what we eat, but it's only part of her meals. She gets pureed fruits and veggies every day, and I made ground chicken meatballs for her and break those into little pieces to eat. I feed most of them to her, because she drops most of the food in her lap. But it's helped with her pincer grasp a lot.

Answer

My 8 month old is eating baby food because she prefers it. Nothing wrong with it.

Answer

My baby girl is 8 months, has no teeth, and feeds herself cheerios, puffs, yogurt melts, soft veggies, bites of turkey/chicken/hamburger. She just gums it. She's hasn't choked yet. She won't touch puréed veggies, but she'll devour them when they're soft.

Answer

He's been eating whatever we eat since 6 months old. Mostly because he didn't like purees so we went the baby led weaning route. He also had 8 teeth at 6 months old which helped with eating actual solids. The only puree he eats is applesauce.

Answer

I am in the same boat as you. Mine has no teeth and everyone wants to give him the baby treats that require teeth and he is definitely not ready even if they melt in the mouth. It is just too much of a choke hazards. Untill I see teeth I am not risking it not unless it is mushy or puréed.

Answer

My 8 month old prefers what we eat but im still giving him babyfood. He loves the baby rice rusks and puffs. He's gettin pretty good at self feeding and he has 6 teeth he got all in the last month.
