Table food? Baby snacks?

Question

My son is a little over 8 months old, and has two bottom teeth. I was talking to a girl at work about her little girl who is almost the same age just a little older and the same amount of teeth. She feeds her little girl all sorts of stuff, lettuce, puffs, gravy, Mac and cheese.... I’m absolutely terrified to give my baby food like that! I’m so scared he’s going to choke. What do you all think? Would it be okay for him to eat more than just his baby food and formula?

Answer

Once they hit 6 months if they accept it, food should be a part of their routine to help develop milestones. Pinterest has a ton of ideas about what babies can have that doesnt require teeth. At 4 1/2 months, my guy will eat avocado about once a week and does really well.

Answer

My sil does that and it scares the crap out of me.

Answer

Also make sure you know the difference in choking and gagging. And what to do if he does choke (ie don’t stick your finger in his throat)

Answer

He doesn’t need teeth to chew. Adults chew with their molars and so a baby will chew with the back of his gums. Chewing is important for them to learn. Try bits of banana or well cooked pasta. Puffs and such are good too.
