MOMS: Good finger foods for 9mo old?

[clh2]

*sigh* That's what I figured. We're going to the ped this week for a check-up...and I'm going to ask why no teeth yet!! Poor baby...she wants waffles in the worst way...

My DD didn't cut her first tooth until she was almost 12 months old. (I think it was the week before her first birthday, although it has been almost 11 years since then )

We fed her lots of cut up really small things. They "gum" the food up. Just make sure the food is soft, and in small pieces. I think waffles would be a great thing. They are very soft.

For some reason, (again this was many years ago) I think someone told me that the first couple of teeth they get don't really help with food chewing anyway.

Thank you to all who took the time to post a reply to me. This is all GREAT information. Gives me lots of good ideas to feed my boy!

For the record - he's got 8 teeth now... got his first tooth the day he turned 5 months old. I couldn't believe it! He loves to bite through the cheerios using his teeth, it's the funniest thing!

Happy feeding!
