I just need some personal info and tips from moms out there! I won’t go into details, but me and my 7 month old daughter recently moved back in with my mom from living with her dad/my fiancé. I don’t know how long I’ll be here, but the time I have been here has been tough because my mom is extremely judgmental.

(This will be important in a second)

Anyway, I didn’t start baby cereal and baby foods until 6 months and my doc told me I could. She is now about to be 8 months in a couple weeks and that’s all she is still eating. I’ve tried to do some research on the next steps, but anytime I talk about out loud to my mom about giving her something new, she tells me that she isn’t old enough to have anything else, and that’s “not how it’s done”, and I don’t know anything because i’m a first time mom, and so on. And I know that I’m the mother and I can do whatever I want, but it’s just tough listening to her comments. She doesn’t think I should give her anything differently until her 9 month checkup and the doctor tells me what to give her. (I’m only 21 which is why she feels the need to comment on anything in the first place)

I just need some personal advice on what you fed/feed your 6-9 month old. And what the next steps are for me. I know this shouldn’t be a very difficult thing for most people, but living with my mom makes everything stressful and worrisome and I’m just not sure what’s right and wrong at this point...that’s why I wanted some personal tips instead of advice from articles online!! Thank you guys in advance, I’m sorry this is so long! I’ve just got a lot going on right now and needed a little bit of a vent lol. Thanks ladies:)
