When can I give baby solids safely?

Question

My girl is 6.5 months, I'm giving purees once a day but she clearly wants more during the day as we eat. 
Can I giver her something solid to gnaw on? Or just spoonfed purrees? I don't want to be constantly worried about her choking I guess 🤦

Answer

We skipped purees entirely. My daughter will be 7 months next week and eats a lot of the things we eat. I cut things into strips about the size of my pinky finger. They should be soft enough to squish between your fingers or with your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
Zucchini, sweet potatoes, avocados, oatmeal, egg noodles, plain yogurt with berries...all good places to start.

Answer

We do Baby Led Weaning and my baby eats everything that we do! There are guidelines about how to do it though and how to prepare foods so do some research if you plan to go that route

Answer

You can give her more just be cautious on what you give her. Some babies arent ready at the 6 month mark and some are. If you feel shes ready, give her some soft foods. My babygirl is 7 months old and eats just about everything we do except harder foods.

Answer

Mine loves steamed chopped carrots. No choking. I guess you just gotta experiment and see if your little one can chew yet. Maybe try with a teething biscuit first

Answer

I give my daughter purées twice daily (breakfast & dinner, along with breastfeeding), but I started introducing the yogurt melts as something she can chew on once a day. I heard by 8 months, that they’ll want more food.

Answer

Can she sit up by herself?
