start feeding ur LO's the gerber puff food that dissolves in there mouth...cant remember when we started with my son i think it was 9 mths..is that too young? j/w thanks mamas

pft no my son was eating those at five months. He's VERY independent (gets it from both his parents) and has been self feeding for months and months now.

my LO is 6mths do u think we should try them or wait

6 months I think!

My daughter eats them now and she's 5 months, will be6 on the 9th.

yup. And once they have those down, you can give them cheerios. Even if they don't have any teeth. Those puffs are SPENDY!

ok..im just afraid she'll choke on the puffs..oh and can she have juice now..

Quoting M.I.L.FX2{BBM}:“ ok..im just afraid she'll choke on the puffs..oh and can she have juice now..”

yes she can, however juice is basically pure sugar. If you wanna offer water in a sippy (she'll probably just play with it) that's fine. Babies don't need juice though. You'd be much better off if you feed her her fruits as solids (applesauce/mashed bananas)

I'm not going to say you should, but you can, it's your choice. My LO lovess them. & as another momma says they get kind of pricey so sometimes I give Kendra KIX instead of the puffs, i prefer them to cheerios.


ETA: and about the juice. I give my LO about 1oz of juice mixed with 2 oz of water. she loves it

yep thats what i mean with the juice we gave her some yesterday and she loved it we always mix it with water

Demetri kept choking on the kix. I prefer cheerios...

actually drinking out of a sippy? Maybe 8 months? You can let her play with one now though, and get used to it.

thats what i thought..i think i will give her one to play with so she can get used to eat but i dont expect her to start drinkin out of it right away lol

yeah try and make a habit out of giving her one during meal times. Just so hse can get used to it and you can get into the routine. I have a hard time remembering and Demetri is a year old and is supposed to get whole milk at mealtimes, but like I said I'm forgetful sometimes
