What to feed??

Question

My daughter is almost a year old. She doesn't have teeth and she doesn't like anything but purees and puffs. What the heck are we supposed to feed her when she's off formula? Lol We've been trying take foods since she was 8/9 months.

Answer

They don’t need teeth to eat real food. Feed them whatever you are eating and that’s fine

Answer

I fed my daughter mashed potatoes, Greek yogurt, bananas, scrambled eggs... things like that.

Answer

Cheese (cut up small), avocado, cottage cheese, yogurt, super soft noodles, etc.
I would also peel the skin off of blueberries and give our son the mushy inside.

Answer

My daughter didn’t get her first tooth until 1 year 1 month. And we fed her mashed or blended anything (fruits, veggies). She also loved orange plugs and just sucked on them. She did this with strawberries also. We also gave her yoghurt, scrambled eggs, she would use her tongue to further mash the food in her mouth. 
She went through a phase when she loved pumpkin and carrot purée which I became an expert at making, it was slightly sweet so she was addicted. And it was nice and warm.

Answer

My little one didn’t have any teeth until she was 13 months. We fed her a lot of different foods as long as they were soft. They can use their gums for a lot of it. Bananas, berries, fish, oatmeal, steamed broccoli (stems cut off), mashed potatoes, yogurt... that’s all I can think of right now, but you get the idea. Start her with maybe 2-3 new things a week and go from there.

Answer

If she only has purees, maybe try just mashing up some fruit/vegetables and start leaving some lumps in there to get her used to different textures. You can also steam sticks if veggies to use as finger food. Pasta is good to try too

Answer

Your child doesn't need purees at all. Teeth are irrelevant. We skipped purees completely so our daughter has always had table foods (from 6 months onward). She was eating 3 solid meals a day by 9 months and we were formula free at 11 months. It's important to start giving her actual foods. You cannot get off formula if she's not actually eating foods. That's something you need be introducing/promoting. If you're eating it, she can eat it as well.
