Is anyone feeding their baby actual solids?

Question

Our LO is 6 1/2 months old and she's been on baby food for a couple months now...She loves it! But she has started STARING so hard at our food when we eat! I give her apple slices occasionally to gnaw on but my question is, do any of you moms know of something else good to gnaw on? Or some thing even soggy enough she can eat?

Answer

My daughter is 7.5 months and she eats what we eat....tonight spaghetti and meatballs and that is what she had also....I have a baby magic bullet and I love it

Answer

I am giving him whatever we are eating as he refuses all baby food. So I crumble bread, mash rice up a bit with a spoon, add gravies which I have started cooking without a lot of spices, give yolk from my fried egg and so on.

Answer

I've been feeding my daughter solids since she was about 4 and a half months. Started with mashed bananas mixed with breast milk. Not every day, but a little something every 2-3 days. At about 6 months, we started her on Beechnut baby food and some solids (sliced apples, bananas, Happy Baby Teething husks). She's now almost 8 months and eats 3 meals a day and breastfeeds 6-8 times a day. Breakfast is usually a scrambled egg, yogurt or baby food and half of a frozen waffle. She also eats guacamole, hummus, chicken, pork, turkey (all finely diced), cheese, pears, mango, beans, corn etc. we do a combo of purees and baby led weaning and she loves everything. Obviously she doesnt eat everything, but she tastes a little of everything. I should add that she doesn't have any teeth (except a small poke through on the bottom). We just make sure everything is soft or small (or big for her to hold and gnaw on). She loves eating!

My little boy is the same age and he will eat whole strawberries and pieces of banana (with my holding them) rice cakes and baby "crisps", sweet potato mash, broccoli mashed up, steamed carrot sticks, watermelon, apple like you said and whatever we are eating I always mush up a bit of it as fine as I can get it and give him a taste, even if it's just the sauce of whatever we're eating. I think they just like to eat when you do to feel involved and it gets them used to eating with others :)

Answer

My pediatrician said to give her anything except honey. She recommended even pizza crust or half a bagel for her to chew on. As long as it's large enough for the baby to hold and soft enough for them the chew it's good! I have tried the bagel and she loved it. I've given apple and mango slices too. I just try to be cautious and always supervise too.

Answer

My son just turned 6 months. He gets some purées and oatmeal and I've let him chew on broccoli, strawberry, bananas, toast with a little butter. He's been doing the same thing staring when I'm eating so I'm letting him taste stuff. 😀

Answer

Yup! We are doing baby led weaning. Breastmilk is still #1 source but LO has had banana, toast with peanut butter, hummus on pita, avocado, eggs.

Answer

Can they have yogurt my son is. 6 months turning 7months in 6 days I can't remember when I fed that to my oldest boys lol

Answer

We are doing baby led weaning. She gets pieces of whatever we are eating. We don't mash anything, but we do peel things like bell pepper or potato.
