I have been giving Nathan pieces of cheerios since he was about 8 months.

ok.. thats what i was thinking but i wasnt sure..
prolly like when the 1st tooth comes in right?

Hailey has 6 teeth and she still cant handle it

ive been giving it to catherine since 5 1/2- 6 months, and she's just 7 months now and does great with it. Try it.

I don't think it matters about teeth.  They pretty much gum it to death and it dissolves with saliva.  They have gerber puffs which are awesome.

well braiden will be 7 months on the 24..
i wanna try them but im scared hes going to choke!
i think im goin to get those puff things and try them..
is 7 months too early?

No, it's not too early.  I don't think anyway.  Does he pick up food by himself?  The puffs are great and they dissolve really easily.

yea he picks everything up! lol
and it goes straight to the mouth!

It should be fine then.  I was worried about giving him anything but I tried the puffs to see how fast they dissolved and it was pretty fast.
