Babies don't necessarily need teeth to eat finger foods. As long as the food is soft enough to mash with her gums, it should be fine. You may want to try a mesh feeder to help with the transition from purees to solids like berries and melon. Small pieces of wheat bread ( the middle, not the crust) is a great first finger food. Also the store bought puffs and yogurt melts dissolve in baby's mouth and decreases the risk of choking. Hope this helps.
