View latest: 24h 48h 72h. Sun, Jan 02 , pm she is 6 months old has been eating jar food for a month and can sit for long periods on her own. Back to top. Sun, Jan 02 , pm I've given my kids puffs from months.
Try to start with the puffs since they melt in the mouth and in a few weeks if she's doing well then try the cheerios. I'm sure you know this already but make sure to put her in a high chair when you're giving her the food to minimize choking. Sun, Jan 02 , pm I know my doctor said only purees so far mine is 6 months with two teeth and been eating solids since 4 moths.
Mon, Jan 03 , am I always start with Cheerios! Mon, Jan 03 , am When and what they eat has nothing to do with having teeth, babies without teeth can gum food. The question is whether the baby is ready for finger food, the idea of finger food is that the baby picks them up and puts them in their mouth, try is and see. If you're putting them in the babies mouth there's really no point your baby doesn't need them and isn't gaining anything from them. This will make it much easier for your baby to eat.
However, the texture will still be a little lumpy. Always keep a close eye on your baby while they eat. Just like oatmeal or porridge, you can add extras to the Weetabix as soon as your baby is ready. Pureed fruit is always a good option. When your baby is ready to eat more whole foods, you can add mandarin segments, other fruits, or baby-friendly yogurt.
However, do be careful. While porridge tend to be reasonably smooth, they can have a somewhat lumpy texture. Especially if your baby is new to the business of eating solid foods, keep a close eye on them while they eat. If in doubt, put the mixture in a blender or mash with a fork before you serve the cereal to your baby. These cereals naturally have adult-sized portions of salt and sugar, and these can be too much for your baby.
Check the salt and sugar content before serving to your child. You might worry about allergies gluten, dairy, and strawberry allergies, for example , or worry about giving your baby a new food too soon.
Smooth foods like oatmeal, porridge, baby food, pureed fruit, and well-mashed Weetabix may be suitable for your baby right from the beginning, but how can you tell if you baby is ready for more difficult foods — like Cheerios?
You serve them what you think is a perfectly suitable finger food, one your baby has eaten before, and they begin to cough and splutter. Even the idea is terrifying and upsetting. Foods like melty puffs may seem to be the perfect snack for babies, however there are hidden dangers. Puffs left out for too long will become squishy and lose their ability to dissolve so quickly.
Back to top. What are signs that your baby is getting ready for solid foods? Your baby can swallow better and drool less. Your baby can sit up while supported.
Just make sure they have less than 2g added sugar. I do not recommend any other types of Cheerios like Honey Nut Cheerios, Multigrain Cheerios, or any of the other Cheerios varieties for babies. Whether their front bottom teeth have started coming in or they are completely toothless, they can still handle solids beyond purees. A good test for you to know whether their gums can handle a food is to squish it between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.
I like fruit, veggie, and peanut based alternatives. Baby puffs can be great, but I like to pack in the nutrition if possible. Here are some good options:. Baby grain cereals like rice cereal and baby oatmeal are commonly recommended when babies start solids.
Rice cereal was traditionally recommended because it has a low risk of causing an allergic reaction. In the past, health professionals recommended delaying allergen introduction. But now we have studies that show the exact opposite. Allergen introduction should be early and often for the best chance of preventing food allergies.
Rice cereal is low in nutrition, and I like to make sure babies taste a variety of foods early on. There is no nutritional reason to stick with rice cereal for the first several weeks or months. Baby oatmeal is more nutritious than rice cereal, and I do recommend serving it to your baby. It is okay to introduce several new foods in a day, and even more than one food in a meal!

I have a whole post on serving toast to babies here. I actually love toast for babies because you can spread healthy, soft foods on top to boost nutrition. Cottage cheese, plain yogurt, mashed soft beans, or a thin layer of any nut butter make great toast toppings for babies.
