food!!

maybe some soft veggies or soft fruit

If you know how to puree(?) This is what my mom does. Cut up some apples and bananas or anything like that and puree them together; my mom puts a little bit of cinnamon in the mixes because we know my daughter, who is 9mo, is not allergic to it. After that she pours the mix in an ice tray, and freezes it then puts the cubes in a bag. In the morning I'll get like 2-3 cubes nuke it for 30sec mix it real good, nuke again for 15sec mix it; then I add Gerber baby oatmeal to fill her up (she a hungry baby).

Fruits are easy - banana, watermelon, blackberries, raspberries, chopped strawberries. Veggies are good after steaming - butternut squash, yams, zucchini, yellow squash (you can puree them if you feel it's still questionable), pureed peas. Tofu is soft. If you want to try some potential allergens, like salmon or egg yolks, try to hand feed them to baby so they are getting the food in their mouth without getting it on their skin, like on their hands, face, or neck. Always be careful with allergens... Yogurt and cottage cheese should also be a big hit.

@Bonny my baby has an allergy test tomorrow actually bc i’m allergic to peanuts so his doctor told us to hold off on peanut butter & eggs!

Download the app “Solid Starts” and it shows how to prepare and offer foods to babies 6m to toddlers. They also post food ideas on their TikTok

I like to squish test any solid foods I’m giving my son. So let say I wanna give him carrot slices, I boil or steam them until fork tender and then I squish them between my fingers and if it squishes easily it should be ok for him to chew without teeth. Any boiled/steamed fruit or veggies Canned or fully thawed frozen fruits are pretty soft typically Pasta cooked well Rice Scrambled eggs Crackers Fish
