Solid food ideas for 11month baby with ONLY 2 bottom teeth...?
babies don't need teeth to eat foods.


give small pieces of food that he can mash up with his gums.


like for breakfast, give pancakes, cheerios, bananas, nutragrain bars, any kind of fruit, yogurt, applesauce, toast ect.





lunches give butter bread, ravioli, spaghetti o's, any fruit or veggies.


ect ect.





my babies never ate puried food past 8 months they were on table foods and had whatever we ate. whether they had 1 tooth or 4.


just make sure the food is soft enough for him to mash up with his gums.


he has to get used to it because its a lot different than eating puried food he may gag or choke a little but thats okay he will learn how to chew.
Reply:try noodles, just plain


vienna sausage, cut in little pieces....


soft fruits, like bananas
Reply:dont let daddy feed him. he is maybe giving the baby too big of peices or something. make your own home made baby food it will taste better than gerbers.
Reply:You can actually buy a little baby food processor (small, not expensive, has a manual handle so you can take it and use it anywhere). You can actually mash up just about any kinds of food for babies.





Since your child only chokes when the father feeds him, maybe daddy is giving him too large of a bite. Bites should be very small.





I gave my daughter so much mashed potatoes and gravy when she was small that she won't eat them any more! I wasn't very creative with food varieties.
Reply:Avocados and mashed bananas were a hit with my daughter at that age (and nutritious). She was a big-time choker as well, even with a lot of her teeth in. I also baked butternut squash or sweet potatoes and mashed that. My friend's child ate a lot of oatmeal (my daughter still doesn't like it). My daughter had some lightly toasted bread or well-cooked rice for her carbs. You can also find cereals that can melt in his mouth (Graduates) and then move on to Cheerios. For protein, she ate scrambled or sunny-side-up eggs or ground meatloaf/meatballs. I disagree that you can give them harder foods like noodles or sausage without the teeth, unless you plan to ground it or make it very very small. Maybe you can just dice up pasta very small if he seems to really like it. It took a lot of reminders and training to get my daughter to chew--now (at 2) she's a slow eater, making sure it's all chewed up. There are some books like Mommy Made and Daddy, Too! that can give you an idea of foods you can make for the whole family. You just want to be careful about a baby's sodium or sugar intake if they're eating your same food. If your husband is feeding him too quickly or isn't chopping up the food (men don't have a motherly instinct), then I guess you need to take the reigns and cut up the food or prepare his plate separately for him.

Bananas


Small cut up noodles, pasta


Mashed potatoes





He can eat anything soft that he can gum. My daughter only had 2 bottom teeth at that age too. Just make sure they are really small pieces!
Reply:I would buy a BABY SAFE FEEDER. I bought my son one and there a little messy but they were made by a father whos son choked on a baby cookie. There cool you can put all kinds of food in them and the chew on the mesh and it gets the food out. They're also really good for teething if you put frozen fruits or ice in them.


Here's a link to see what they are if you haven't seen them but I think you can buy them cheaper at walmart or target.

Reply:Try: waffles, scrambled eggs, cheese, corn, peas, cooked carrots, pancakes, toast, noodles, applesauce, yogurt, cheerios, chex, raisins, grapes (cut in quarters), beans (black beans are great), hamburger, chicken, and more!


Make sure that your husband is cutting the food into very small pieces. I know that my husband cuts the baby food into larger pieces than I do...
