He will eat cheese sticks but that is seriously the ONLY solid that he will eat. He just wants purees spoon fed to him :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-blw-parents-when-did-you-offer-your-lo-food-you-didnt-cut-up#post-820820 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:19:32 +0000 PinkElephant 820820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I gave her a big chunk of banana around 7 months (she started solids at 4.5). Around 10 months I gave things like pancakes, rice cakes, toast, and she does ok with them. She's 11 months now and likes to feed herself bite sized items. She initiated the move from purees herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-blw-parents-when-did-you-offer-your-lo-food-you-didnt-cut-up#post-820817 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:10:41 +0000 Sweet T 820817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 22 months old and I still cut most things for him. We've been giving him whole bananas for a long time but we cut them in half. We didn't start giving him cheese sticks until closer to 18 months but I think he would have been fine a little earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-blw-parents-when-did-you-offer-your-lo-food-you-didnt-cut-up#post-820804 Thu, 30 May 2013 23:59:59 +0000 HLK208 820804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started giving E (12 months in a week) a half slice of toast to naw on, a banana, a slice of quesadilla and she has done really well. She does love to take big bites though so I have to watch her carefully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-blw-parents-when-did-you-offer-your-lo-food-you-didnt-cut-up#post-820570 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:50:02 +0000 heffalump 820570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the food. Lo is 22 months and I still cut most things. Not bananas though, so bites into those. She got her teeth late, she still doesn't have all of them, so I'm extra paranoid about that stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-blw-parents-when-did-you-offer-your-lo-food-you-didnt-cut-up#post-820559 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:46:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 820559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha... that still very rarely happens at 3.5 years old!! ;) He's so antsy at mealtimes now, it usually helps him eat more if we cut everything up for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-blw-parents-when-did-you-offer-your-lo-food-you-didnt-cut-up#post-816498 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:45:00 +0000 mediagirl 816498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is...without cutting it up for them?</p> <p>My Mom is in town and offered our lo a cheese stick and a banana and she went to town on both. I, of course, was freaking out just thinking about it but M did pretty good. She used her front teeth to shred the cheese and to bite off of the banana.</p> <p>She's 11.5 months old </p>
