Uhhhh·
My daughter started at 6 months with no teeth. She didn't get her first tooth until 10 months old!
Just give tiny fingernail size foods

I've been doing like mashed potatoes and stuff like that, we tried the puffs and she choked on it so that's why I'm nervous
Uhhhh··
Well there is a difference between gagging and choking but I know it's just as scary.
I started with steamed veggies since they're nice and soft then worked my way to meats and stuff.

Teeth won't make a difference. You don't chew food with your front teeth. If you are concerned about how they'd "chew" the food put your finger in the back of her gums. They are strong 😅 my son didn't get teeth until 10m (and by 1 he only his had two top teeth) but was able to eat everything. At 7m one of his favorite things to eat was chicken breast.

no lol. Just make sure it's soft, that is all. Think it's why a lot of people use baby food first, because they are scared of choking. But baby led weaning is best. That's what I did.

Wait until your baby is sitting independently and is approximately 8 months old before introducing thicker purees, soft lumpy foods and meltable solid finger foods. ... Babies do not need to have teeth to learn tochew. The first steps of chewing require only tongue,

I’ve started my 9m old with eggs and really tiny pieces of sausages. He has 2 bottom teeth, but they just gum the food any ways. And I’ve gave him spaghetti too.

I'm so sorry to hear that. And sorry for my comment. I shouldn't have assumed. I feel like garbage for that.

@divinely_favored dont say that about yourself, you didnt know! its completely okay I promise!

They’re gums are extremely strong but I understand your concern. Just give her steamed veggies. Also remember gagging and choking are very different. Choking is when they can’t get any air. Gagging is ok and completely normal. It’s a brand new sensation for them. Good luck mama!

You can definitely give real food now. If you are worried about the chewing, start with foods that you could easily smoosh with your fingers
