can I give my still gummy 7 month old??
She doesn't like the lumpy stage two foods, so we're still working on the thicker mashed/pureed stuff without big chunky bits.. Can I offer her toast? Cruskets? Rusks? What spreads are they allowed if any? Fruit in a Fresh food feeder? Thanks in advance -------------

Daniel didnt get teeth until he was 8 months..
I gave him toast, cruskits, pieces of fruit and vege, rice crackers, milk arrowroots, rusks, wafers.. Spreads wise Jams are ok (but some have high sugar content) and vegemite/marmite. Honey and peanut butter are a no no. |

Oh so I could pretty much give her anything that doesn't have high sugar content then? She has been having rusks since she was 5 months old (even though they state 6mos on the box  ), so she knows what to do with them so I guess toast and cruskets etc should be okay if I watch her closely..
I think I might stay away from spreads now that you mention the sugar content,marmite and vegemite will do at this stage... she doesn't seem to put off by bland tasting goods LOL -------------

Briahna still has no teeth. I give her crackers (rice crackers, cruskits etc), biscuits, sammys, toast, fruit. She pretty much sucks and munches it till she can swallow it, shes pretty good with that stuff.
Hmm I give briahna peanut butter on her sandwiches... ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

my watties carrot chart says smooth peanut butter is ok from 8 months as long as there is no history of allergies in the family, just be careful the first time i guess
T still has no teeth, you can do snax crackers, rice crackers, cruskits, strips of cooked veg/fruit, pop in bit sandwiches, milk arrowroot bikkies just dissolve in mouth i got the idea for using the anathoth jam which has less sugar in it and only sugar and fruit from here. I gave t jam sandwich once and he wouldnt eat it! so we just stick to marmite and peanut butter for now and avocado ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Mr T loved plain biscuits and crackers at that stage. Fruit in a fruit thingy is fine - banana is also good as its soft and weetbix if you want a different brekkie cereal is good too.

Ohhh Weetbix for brekkie, I hadn't even thought of that.. I was looking for something a bit different 
Thanks for the awesome ideas everyone... my brain is on a go slow as of late, I think I'm a tad sleep deprived -------------

| Daniel turns his nose up at weetbix. I wish he would enjoy it. He will only accept toast and custard for brekkie lol |

Ella loves her weetbix, especially when it is mixed with warm milk and yoghurt- Yum Ella fav fruit is any type of melon- she loves it and it is so easy to eat (it's a pity that tthey are going out of season now). Also bananas are nice and handy (and easy to eat as well) Have also just found a receipe for homemade breadsticks and am so am going to give those a go. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Be careful with weetbix, our pead advised that it has too much fibre for littlies to digest, best to leave it until 18 months +
