What are you feeding your 8 month old (besides baby food)?
I feel like the baby food is not filling DS anymore and he is getting bored of it. But he doesnt have any teeth yet  My mom said to make a little pastina with some chicken broth and start giving him some really soft carrots and even spaghetti to eat. But I think he is too young for that stuff. I already give him the Zwieback's cookies and he eats them like a champ so maybe he is ready.

Taylor has 2 bottom teeth and is cutting one of the top ones.
I try to give her lots of different things to try. Mind you, I don't give her lots of some of the stuff, but I let her try a lot of different things now.
Puffs (sweet potato are her fave)
cheerios
zwieback
I grill chicken and cut it up really small
I cook sweet potatoes and cut them up small as well
pastina (didn't go over well, she looked scared)
chicken soup
lots of other stuff but I can't think

Re: What are you feeding your 8 month old (besides baby food)?
I am feeling the same thing with Troy.
He'll be 7 mos on Saturday, but has two bottom teeth and one just cutting thru on top.
I made some carrots and mashes potatoes the other night. I mashed up the carrots and tried to give him some, he sorta choked/gaggged on it.
I want to try other things (pastina, etc) but afraid. How do we get past the gagging/choking????
At his 6 mo well visit the Dr said we'd talk about table foods at his 9 mo well visit.
Can I give him Cherrios?? Puffs???

I would start with puffs before cheerios as they disolve in the mouth

Re: What are you feeding your 8 month old (besides baby food)?
DS has already mastered the puffs and Zwieback cookies. And I feel if he can eat the Zwieback's without choking, he is doing pretty well for not having any teeth.
The dr. told me even when they get their first 2 teeth, they still use their gums to "chew" and mush whatever is in their mouth. I think i will try some pastina. That is probably very easy for them to mush up.

At that age, I gave DD pastina which she loved. Also, yogart and little pieces of banana. You can also try mashed up potatos.

Re: What are you feeding your 8 month old (besides baby food)?
At 9 months...DD still had no teeth. DH had made a steak on the BBQ one night, so I cut it in really small pieces and gave them to DD...she gummed them
They don't need teeth to chew...they use their gums. At 8 months, DD was eating a little table food, cheese, yogurt, chicken, veggies.

American cheese, I used to break up into small pieces she could put in her mouth. Now that she is older, I give her the whole slice and she likes to bite it. At around 10-11 months I also started giving polly-o string cheese..I would just rip it into small pieces for her to chew. Again...now that she is older, I give her bigger piece because she like to break it down by biting it.
