My daughter will turn 10 months in 5 days, but she has 8 teeth already...?

Question

Can I feed her Gerber's "Toddler Cuisine" or should I wait til she's older for that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

i would go ahead and let her try it out... just make sure the pieces are ok for eating and make sure they are not to small. But makes sure she chews properly. Some kids don't chew properly and have plenty of teeth but can't really eat anything b/c they don't have that reflex yet. I would try some puffs first.. they melt in her mouth and you can check and see if she will chew it good. Goodluck

Answer 2

My daughter eats whatever we eat. She can chew soft foods and things that are in tiny bites. But she is almost 11 months and has only 2 teeth!
She loves the Toddler Cuisine and the Gerber Graduates. She eats those for lunch, or when we have something that is not baby appropriate (like tacos). I just make sure the bites are small enough that she can handle them. She has some trouble with the meats. I have to mush them up more then the rest of it, but that is becuase of her lack of teeth. The toddler meals are a great item for a 10 month old.

Answer 3

Gerber's Toddler Cuisine is high in sodium, I wouldn't recommend anyone give that to their child.

Just because a child has teeth does not mean they ar ready for solids. Does she chew? Does she pick up food items between her thumb and forefinger?

I suggest you stick to giving her what you eat (of course, I am assuming you eat a balanced diet not high in saturated fats or sodium) cut up into small pieces.

Answer 4

My son is 10 1/2 months old and has 2 teeth, but chews good. He eats the Gerber Graduates- fruit puffs, ravioli, mashed potatoes. He even eats pancakes for breakfast. LOL depends on the child though, my son eats more than I do sometimes.

Answer 5

Well personally i love that stuff. Us 54 year olds can't get enough of it. But I would recommend putting some brocolli and aspargus in the blender, microwaving it and topping it with some applesauce. That way, she won't have trouble eating it, and she can still have the nutrients she needs.

Answer 6

Give her whatever you want. My 9 1/2 month old son has 8 teeth also. Last night for dinner we had chicken, brown rice, and peas. Guess what he had? Chicken, brown rice, and peas. Go for it.

Answer 7

Try her on it, itf she can tolerate it, then give it to her. My daughter had almost a mouth full of teeth, but anything that required chewing made her gag.

Answer 8

No, you can feed it to her now. Just make sure to sit with her at all times to be sure she doesn't choke. Chewing and swallowing food is a learning process.

Answer 9

Her internal organs are too young. Teeth or not keep her on baby food and formula.

Answer 10

If she can eat that stuff, she can eat food you eat.
