any snack ideas for a nine month old with only her bottom 2 teeth?

Answer 1

Most of the suggestions people have made are processed foods high in sugar, salt and low in nutrients that your baby needs. Of course most good stuff comes from breastmilk at this age, but when you do feed her, make it count! Most fruits and vegetables steamed and cut into spears are great and safe. But some are soft enough not cooked (like juicy pear and shredded apple).

Check out the book super baby foods.

Here is a list of the main things I feed my 9 month old:

avocado (very good baby food--soft and good fat!)
soft banana (in spears)
soft pear (in spears)
diced pieces of organic turkey hot dogs
bread with avocado
shredded apple (this was his favourite first finger food--he could grab handfuls of it, and it's not chokable)
shredded cheese
rice puffs (another favourite first finger food--good for practising dexterity!)
rice cooked with tiny pieces of brocolli, shredded carrot, lentils, and chicken stock (organic--I buy all organic when I can) or butter
cooked potato
etc.

Gerber has these great things out for babies. My 10 month old daughter loves their Graduate Finger Food puffs, and Biter Biscuits. The puffs disolve with their saliva, and are great at teaching them how to pick up a small item. But for general around the house things that I also give my little one here. Try pretzel rods (skim off some of the salt though), cheerios, YoBaby yogurts are great, toast cut into squares, graham crackers. Theres a few of our most popular choices. My now 10 month old is my 4th here, and I have learned from trial and error with the other 3, avoid round snacks like goldfish, kix cereal, cheeto shaped items also. And never give nuts or honey to a child till they are at least 3. (Know of a child that died from eating a penut at age 2.) So, here are some suggestions. Hope they help!

Answer 3

Cheerios! But remember, never leave a small child alone when eating..they could choke. Also, and this is really important, ONLY buy Cheerios. A lot of the generic brands and the organic (which, yes sounds great) are not made of all the same ingrediants and don't melt the same as the actual Cheerio brand does. The whole point of the Cheerio as a safe first food is that it melts.

Answer 4

Try Baby Mum-Mums they are rice crackers and are available in the baby section at walmart. Also try rice crispies my son is the same age with the same teeth. I like these options because they dissolve in the mouth faster than other cookies and cereals which decreases the chance of them choking. Always keep an eye on them when snacking my son loves handfuls of rice crispies in his mouth LOL!

Good luck with your daughter :)

Answer 5

Frozen juice bars, jello, pudding,yougart, and any other bland foods. Just read an article on children which parents are targeted to spend tons of money for the specialitykid foods and products. You save money by buying the same regular foods, and products and giving your child smaller amounts. Best Wishes and God Bless!

Answer 6

Some snacks suggestions are:
*Yogurt (even yoplait tubes frozen are good)
*Cheerios
*Baby mum mum rice crackers(they melt in the month)
*Arrowroot cookies
If you are scared to give her anything that she might not be able to chew they make this mesh bag by munchkin where you can put fresh fruit inside the bag and it baby's seem to love it, plus it is safe.

Answer 7

they have food just for kids with only a couple teeth.

theres gerber graduates finger foods type things and you can get sum that are light and theyre basically puffy flavored pieces of bread. theyre good tasting, so the child will like them. but its not only fruit they also come in veggie flavors too and are a great way for the child to start chewing gradually.

they come in banana, banana strawberry, and other flavors.

Answer 8

graham crackers are good; also, if you have a toaster oven, put real cheese between two pieces of bread and lightly toast it then tear it into pieces; pieces of soft fruits and veggies; pieces of pasta

both my kids gave up babyfood at 8 mos of age, and my son did not have ONE tooth till he was over a yr old; the ped said that is was NOT the number of teeth a baby had, but how willing they were to make that chewing motion to grind the food with their gums

Answer 9

Here is the best idea yet ------- Gogurts,, they are Yogurt but in a package like a freeze pop,, put them in the freezer and then give to child,, they are healthy, good for them and they are dang tasty,, I Love them myself, they will be about half frozen easy mess to clean if there is one and can teach the child about eating healthy If you decide on something else in answers here,, still try these,, I swear the kid will love them,

Answer 10

I found this thing online, the Baby Safe Feeder, and its a fine mesh bag your baby can eat out of. You can put strawberries and other fruit in it, and when your baby sucks on it, the fine mesh will make the food inside a fine mush.
