Solid Foods

I’m having a hard time starting solids with my 9 month old.. He’s over the purées, but when given for example strawberries, he’ll chew but when swallowing he gags. Same with noodles. Any suggestions?

Just keep going. It’s new to them to their mouth is just getting used to it x

^ yes & download the app Solid Starts if you haven’t already

Thank you so much, very appreciated

Try the fruit pouch. Kinda looks like a big pacifier it you can put fruit in. May help with the gagging

We did the feeders silicone ones and mesh ones here and there while doing purées. I think it helped introduce self feeding but also different textures and getting a little chunkier bites vs runny purée.

My baby was like this at first, and after about a month of trying everyday, she really eats and swallows now! Keep going mama, it will get better!

I offered puffs and yogurt drops to her so she could get use to the harder textures of food but then they would disintegrate so she could swallow like purées. I feel like it helped with the transition of learning new ways to eat.
