I started Kaden on meat at about 6 months. I bake or steam it and then dice it up. Teeth don't matter because they don't use the front of their mouths. They use the back of their jaws.
Kaden has 1/2 banana, toast or cereal for breakfast
Cheese cubes, avacado, baked fruit for a snack
Lunch- grilled cheese, soup, veggies
Dinner- chicken, turkey, macaroni noodles, spaghetti noodles, steamed or baked veggies (he loves butternut squash) ↑ |

LMAO!

randi is he still on formula as well? ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Sep 1st, 2007 1:24 AM |
| Yeah. He will be on formula until at least a year. He still has a bottle about every 4-6 hours. ↑ |

| oh, and evelyn doesn't know how to chew??? i used to give her the gerber biter biscuits but now i can't. she'll get a chunk off and then just swallow it. she chokes on things ALL the time. everytime i give her finger foods, i have to give it to her in a mesh feeder. so maybe meats should wait ↑ |

| Are you only feeding her purees and cereals? If you don't start feeding her little chunks or thicker foods, then she doesn't need to chew. If she just doesn't want to chew, then she is most likely just not ready for the next stage. ↑ |

| i started mashing her foods about a month ago. she puts on a weird face though when she comes across a larger sized chunk in her foods too. she's almost 8 months old, do you really think she's not ready?? ↑ |

ok so I know that kendra is younger only 5mo and I know lots of people don't start solids til 6mo so I haven't been that worried about it, but should they eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner? also do you guys still let them have the same amount of formula at feedings or do you decrease it?
I pretty much feed kendra solids once or twice a day, but sometimes not at all. I guess I am a little afraid of over feeding her. ↑ |

| our kids are 8 and 9 months old jill and aren't under/over fed. but thanks for the concern :]] ↑ |

After a year I am going to cut out formula. For the first year food is just for practice but I want Kaden to get into a routine and develop good eating habits. He does eat breakfast,lunch and dinner because I want him to eat with me and Tyler. That's the number 1 thing that is recommended when starting solids... to eat at the same time as your child and eat the same thing. It makes them more willing to try new things and they feel like part of the family. Kaden is not overfed. He is actually only in the 50th for height and weight right now. I don't feed him any crap. No added salt or sugar and nothing processed. Hell, I even make my own bread : )
Oh and also, it's hard to overfeed them. It's baby led solids and you watch for cues. When Kaden turns his head and stops putting food in his mouth I know he is full. If he slows down on his formula intake, then I cut back on solids because he still should be on mainly formula for the next 3 months. I also have him pretty much only on a sippy cup. No more bottles except for nap time. ↑ |

| I think that is soooo important! To make sure your kid has routine meal time down and has to SIT and eat with you or at that time. I think that is one of the keys to a non-picky kid. I have a nephew that was pretty much fed on the floor just when ever he whined, never at a highchair/table....now he is sooo hard to get to eat anything at normal times! ↑ |

| ya i agree, i hate when i see parents making food for them selves and then a totally diff meal for their kids like frozen chicken nuggets or mac n cheese..... thats soo horrible, and then the kids have no Palate !!!!! ↑ |
