How do you all not freak out when giving baby bread?

Question

I’ve tried bread and tortillas for my baby and she will rip off huge parts of it and I start freaking out and fish it out of her mouth. I cut it into long strips so she can feed herself and she loves it but I freak out and end up cutting it up 😬

Answer

My baby just chews it and swallows 🤷🏼‍♀️ he did gag a bit at the beginning but he’s great now at 9 months

Answer

Do you toast the bread?  It’s easier to have toast then bread because sometimes bread   Can mush all up in a ball and become a chocking hazard.  And get stuck to the roof of the mouth.

Answer

I freak out and fish buts out of it looks like too much so I have mo advice lol, just in exactly the same boat!

Answer

I have bad anxiety and I haven't been able to give me babe any solid foods yet other than purées 😪 I'm so scared of him choking, but I know I have to try it soon. He's also been having tummy trouble with just the purée, so another reason I haven't felt pushed to do finger food yet.

Answer

Just a warning, fishing it out is actually putting your baby at more risk of choking, you can accidentally lodge it further into there mouth and cutting it up too small also puts more risk of choking. I'm not trying to be a dick just want to warn you.
I always toast bread for her or make quesadilla if I'm using Wraps, she's just takes bites, chews and swallow. We've never had a problem, they are more clever than you think with this stuff, the more you panic the more baby will have a problem with eating certain foods

Answer

Toast the bread!
