When did you ladies start giving your baby’s puffs? I’m sorry for the long post but I feel the need to explain:
When did you ladies start giving your baby’s puffs?
I’m sorry for the long post but I feel the need to explain:
Our doctor said we could try them even though she probably doesn’t have her pincher grasp yet (that was about a month and a half ago). She now has two teeth since and we figured she would be able to chew better because she chews on her spoon and opens her mouth up and down to make sounds, which she didn’t do before. Our doctor also said if she gets one in her mouth, it won’t hurt since they dissolve so quickly. They don’t dissolve fast enough for me tbh. Unless it was just that one brand. But she was getting several in her mouth and it was fine until she tried to swallow one kind of whole and choked and threw up and I had to pull it out of her mouth. I’m terrified of trying them again but I know she can’t eat purée for the rest of her life... 😫

He was around 7m. She won't really learn how to do the bouncer grasp without practice, so it does help. But, try only putting one or two in front of her at a time. And yes, he has had issues with gagging and too much at one time, but he also won't learn how much he can put in his mouth without practice and trial-and-error.
We did start with the rice rusks too. I hated those. They dissolved so easily that everything was covered in melted crackers.

Baby Mum Mum rice rusks dissolve more easily than the puffs, I would try those first.

@princessrose, I think it’s just natural for your baby to gag on new foods and textures. My son was a whole lot worse then my daughter. The gagging is scary, but my son still will gag at 2 1/2 years, if he gets too much in his mouth. Small pieces always, nothing sticky or dry, and you should be alright. It’s so much fun when your baby starts to eat table foods. My 11 month old girl is such a good eater. My husband and I look upon her in absolute amazement when she eats!

At about 7 months we tried puffs and my baby would start gagging if they got on the back of her tongue. We used the rice husks. They seemed to dissolve a lot better and she loved them. 2 months later my girl is entirely on solid food. No more purees. When she was able to handle the puffs she wanted nothing to do with them. I give her Cheerios or veggie straws as a snack now.

@glencoco, I should say several in her mouth, but not at the same time. Idk if that was confusing. But okay! I’ll look into what I can do to get that started

@mommytok, my daughter, last time we gave them to her, just let her play with them and then I showed her how to pick them up and eat them she went to town. Lol.
But idk. I’m scared again. 😅

Try just one at a time. You can wait if you want. They’re not necessary. You can teach them to grasp and feed themselves with other foods. I don’t think I used them till after 8 months.

I’m right there with you.. my daughter definitely doesn’t have her pincer grasp down yet and I don’t know if giving her something like puffs would help her figure it out, or just be too soon 😩
