Question

my baby will be 7 months old on nov 2nd, i just started him on the little cearel looking snack things that disolve in their mouths he seems to be doing good with them and loves em. is he ready to start on other foods?

Answer 1

Definately. You can try very soft foods cut into pea sized pieces like bananas, well cooked carrots and ripe avacados. If you aren't already giving him stage 3 baby foods, switch to those. You can also give him cottage cheese, scrambled eggs (tiny pieces), mashed sweet potatoes and other soft foods. Once he is mashing those things well (give him 3 or 4 weeks) you can add other foods like small pieces of soft pasta, tiny pieces of breads, beans, other cooked veggies and all kinds of fruit.

Answer 2

Really, you're the best judge of that. Babies all develop differently, as we all know, and some babies start earlier than that while others cannot start until they are over a year. My son is 9 months and he eats almost everything that we eat. He has already lost interest in baby foods. Since he was 7 months old, he eats bananas, cheerios, cut up pieces of grape (make sure you cut them up) and a month ago we started giving him even things like pizza crust, sliced hot dog (again make SURE you cut it up) and all kinds of other things. He had all 8 teeth by 7 months and showed a sincere interest in food we were eating. Those were the factors we used in deciding to introduce him to more solid foods. Your baby will let you know if they are interested and like it, or if they're not ready. Good luck! Let the food tossing begin.

You will get a hundred different opinions for this question. All of the baby foods are now labeled with ages and steps which makes it easy for mom. I would still ask your doctor for a hand out or good resource that you could follow. Babies can start to eat a wider variety of foods as they get older. I would be careful to add foods slowly ( this makes it easier to know what the baby ate should he have an allergic reaction). There are foods that you should avoid until after one year: eggs, nuts, honey, whole wheat, cows milk, seafood, are just a few to name. Peanuts should be held off as long as possible due to the increased allergen possibilty. There are also a few reliable sources on line if you google your questions.

I hope this helps!

Start with little baby food jars of rice cereal. He will LOVE it, and it's SO much fun! Then graduate from there to squash, sweet potatoes. At 7 months, yes, he is ready for this and will do fine.

But do not give him things he must chew of course, like "table food." Also you do not know how these things will sit with him so careful; one thing at a time... in case there is an allergy. This way you will know just what the source is. The cereal is where to start. After a few weeks of tolerance of that, maybe try the sweet potatoes.

Babies can't have:
milk
strawberries
peanut butter
honey

in case you do not know...

Answer 5

each and every infant is diverse yet my son is 7 months and 3 days and so a techniques he can: one million) sit down up for long classes of time 2) Can circulate slowly short distances (yet is right at militia crawling) 3) Can say "mum" (for while he needs his bottle) and "mama" 4) likes to place each and every little thing in his mouth (infant's way of getting to grasp) 5) likes to snatch/pull onto each and every little thing in sight Your son does sound generic and could grasp sitting up immediately. My son all started solids some month in the past and has 3 nutrients an afternoon. He eats in simple terms approximately an oz. or 2 of pureed ingredients and nevertheless has approximately 24 oz. of formula on a regular basis. And he would stay conscious in the process the night yet!

Answer 6

I would be really careful with starting foods at 7 months old, he probably has at least 2 teeth or is working on getting them. But more important is gastrointestinal readiness for solids.
Is he doing baby foods? Start with one vegetable, then add as you see he adjusts.
My 19 month old was 7 months before I started cereal, meaning the kind you mix with breastmilk...
then he was about 8 months before we started other foods. I made my own baby food.

Answer 7

Keep him on actual baby food for another few months. You can give him stuff like crackers, Cheerios and the like as a snack or sumthing to help with chewing for now, but the real baby food has the specific vitamins and the such he needs within his first year.

Answer 8

Yes. Applesauce and pureed green beans. Cheerios. Scrambled eggs, rice cereal, saltine crackers. Introduce a little every day, and by his birthday, he should be able to eat table food if he has enough teeth.

Enjoy watching the look on his face as he tries new foods, and give him lots of diced foods she can pick up and feed herself, like bananas, cheese, etc.

Take care!

at 7 months they should be ok by eating babies ready meals, those you find in supermarkets, and they can also eat boiled vegetables,raw apple, bananas so long as you blend them and you do not add any sugar or salt in them.my friend's 8 months old baby is on that and loves it all. puree of lentils, courgettes, and all that. but remember not to add salt or sugar on the food. if you are not sure check with your midwife and she'll be able to advice you for the best.good luck with your baby

Answer 10

I'm hispanic and by the time baby's in the family are 8 months they're eating soft foods like banannas and soup (just the little noodles.) If you do decide to start feeding your baby other foods make sure they are easy to swallow and make sure they aren't hard because then he might choke.
