Baby puffs???

Is anyone giving their 7 month old the baby puffs or yogurt melts?? The recommendation is 8 months or crawler stage, but I’m wondering if I could try sooner. My little guy isn’t quite crawling but he is very close! He eats the baby mum mums like they are going out of style, despite having no teeth yet. His pinched grasp is getting better and I’m thinking smaller items like puffs might help it develop faster as he tries to pick them up! Just wanted other mommas thoughts or experiences!
