What to feed my 12 month old. He stills is on Gerber 2nd and 3rd', baby cereal and formula. I do feed him like chicken and cheese and cheerios but anything else he gags and vomits. He only has 5 teeth. Please any suggestions

Feed him the same food you eat... just get a baby food grinder and grind it up to make it baby food... puree it.

Save your money and get rid of the baby food. Take whatever you are eating and if it can't be mashed up put it in the blender and chop it up to where he can eat it. For snacks give him bananas, graham crackers cheese things like that. If he keeps up with the gagging and vomiting then contact your pediatrician as there may be some kind of medical issue that is not being caught. My daughter had reflux and it was just hard for her to eat a "meal" so we had to feed her small amounts several times a day.

Maybe he's not gaging because of the food maybe he's teething still. Try giving him a cold towel to chew on before feeding him. Wet a towe and put it in the freezer for a few minutes, see if that helps. Smashed beans, mash potatoes, carrots, oatmeal, rice,chicke noodle (stars). Jello, yougurt,egg, putting.

soft foods in very small pieces like bananas, and peas. rule of thumb - if soft food is the size of a pea child will be able to eat it. introduce one new food per week to check for allergies. consult pediatrician if gagging and vomiting continues

my 10 month old eats baby food and beef, chicken pork cooked veggies, soft fruit, crackers, chineese food, usually whatever i am eating....small bites of coarse, if he gaggs on it he might not like it try something else next time.
