Not a problem Tracy. It is so fun when you start feeding them new things. Not two children are alike. I work in a nursery and I am not afraid to give the children food that I may not have given mine at a certain age. I guess it is because I have my first aid. But funny I would panic for my own. Glad to be of help

Well finger foods will get her to start the chewing motion. Some babies do not get their first tooth until they are about a year old. Some when they are 4 months. I used to give mine carrot sticks. ( I boiled them first so they were a bit soft) I also gave them chicken fingers, fish fingers, sandwhiches with jan. As always you need to watch for choking but that is always a concern. Mine also used to like dry cereal like cheerios. Any cooked veggies so she can just pick them up. It has been a while my youngest is 5. I hope this helps a bit

You can give her farley biscuits. Anything that is mushy, even with small chunks in it. She will still do the chewing motions and it will actually help teeth break through the gums. Have she had any types of solids yet?
