Q: Don't Know What to Do....

Hey ladies I have a question for you all who have had children already. Okay, jayden is 6 months old as most of you already know. Well right now she is on gerber 1st foods. Should I switch her to 2nds yet? I mean I keep having ppl tell me that she should be give stuff like baby cookies, kix, froot loops, ya know finger food stuff. Well I gave her a baby cookie the other day and she crushed it up in her fist and at a small piece and started choking! It was so scary. She does exhibit up and down chewing motions. Should I just try again I mean does she just need to get used to it or what? I know all babys develop diff...I am just confused. What types of things were your children eating at 6 months? Ohh and by the way none of her teeth are in yet..One is almost all the way through though.
And my other question is I have read that at 6 months they should be able to start to say stuff like mama and dada. I mean jayden talks up a fricken storm and makes all kinds of noises. Sometimes I actually have troubles getting her to be quiet...Anyways..She dosen't say mama and dada or baba. Did your children? How old were they when they did?

Ok
he has no teeth right
i would try mixing a little of stage 2 with stage 1 see how that works
i bought my son teething toast all babys are different though you have to pick what to do its not going to hurt him to stay on stage one for a while I wish I was more help but my son was not able to eat baby food much and no cereal at all he was allergic (spelling) to almost all of it and was on special mike till he was 3 he as not able to drink milk till he was 3 and sometimes that made him sick you can always talk to your dr but as I said all babies are different and I would gradualy swich him over to stage 2

I disagree jennifer.. This is my outlook at 6 months sean was eating baby cereal, stage 1 and stage 2 and sometimes a jello cup. You can now start cutting up little pieces of a real banana and giving jayden that, she'll like that. Sean is now 10 months old, sleeps through the night(has been), is bigger than most babies but well proportioned..He eats table foods, he is moving away from the cereal, and only takes 3 bottles through the day..I cant tell you what to give your child but I think that I have given you some pretty good advice in the past.. Keep me posted on her..P.S. I wouldnt do the teethy cookies yet..Not yet..Maybe 2 more months

I started giving my son little things when he was four months. I started off with things like babanas, you soft things. When I saw that he got the hang of eating his fruits I gave him soft vegtables. Then I gave him cookiies, but those baby biscuit ones. Because after they have them in their mouth for a while it gets soft and kind of like melts. But all children are different and grow in different stages. I would try again and if theres a problem hold off a few weeks on it.

Well I went ahead and gave her some kix cereal today. Omg she loves it so much and she actually gumms away at it until its all mashed up, and then swallows it. I am so happy and so is she! She had a blast snacking away at them. Thanks for the info about #2 foods jen.
