I really don't know what to do at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1043694 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 10:08:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1043694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: We stopped at 7 months, and transitioned to full on BLW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1043577 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 09:24:42 +0000 littlecasita1122 1043577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 14 months old and still eats purees for fruits and some veggies. I've tried cutting little pieces of blueberry, strawberry, etc on his tray and he refuses to eat them, but loves purees. He is learning how to self-feed with a spoon, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1043561 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 09:20:12 +0000 mrsjyw 1043561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 9 months old and is still between chunky purees and BLW. He doesn't care which way he gets it, as long as he gets FOOD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1028489 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 08:15:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 1028489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 10 1/2 months we are pretty much all on finger foods. I still have some baby food I'm trying to use up so I might do one every once in awhile if she seems hungry, and we still do pouches when we are out and about. She hates when I feed her the spoon, she wants to do it herself (and it's always a mess :) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1028436 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 07:27:53 +0000 sumer08 1028436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO essentially weaned himself from purees by pushing away the spoon right after he turned 10 months old. Now at almost 12 months, he will ONLY eat yogurt from a spoon and is beginning to self-feed with a spoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026550 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 16:21:10 +0000 sarac 1026550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did some purees early on, but mostly focused on yogurts, applesauces, thin oatmeal, etc. We switched away from them as her ability to chew increased. I can't really remember when that was, but kind of later. It just felt very natural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026496 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 15:32:17 +0000 sandy 1026496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was doing lots of table food around 8 months. I would give her a protein, veggie and fruit and sometimes some well boiled pasta and let her eat that first and then supplemented the meal with a purée...sometimes she only ate a little and sometimes she ate a ton...eventually she spent more time eating the finger foods that she didn't take much purée. Around 11 months she was mostly eating all finger food and some purée and I just stopped offering purées around 12 months and she was fine just eating finger foods.</p> <p>ETA: we introduced her own fork/plate around 14-15 months but she didn't really start using the fork until 18 months and even at 21 months she prefers to just pick up pieces of her food and will use the fork after she's eaten a bit off her plate first...she's definitely getting better at using the fork everyday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026479 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 15:22:04 +0000 Penny Lane 1026479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we started purees at 6.5 months, and starting giving a mixture of finger foods and purees from 9 months. then, bang on 11 months he would not have anything to do with a spoon again, unless it was yoghurt on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026388 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 14:19:44 +0000 winniebee 1026388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started purees at 4 months. At 7ish months started table foods, though he still got some puree (at daycare) until 10 months. By 9 months he was pretty much doing everything on his own (but at 15.5 months still can't really spoon feed himself without a major mess, so I still spoonfeed him stuff like yogurt and soup). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026358 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:48:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1026358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is seven months and won't take a spoon anymore. We started BLW and she's doing really well so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026321 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:16:02 +0000 Lindsay05 1026321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped when LO started grabbing the food off the spoon. Then she would start refusing the spoon so we knew it was time. I think it was around 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026310 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:11:48 +0000 HLK208 1026310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped around 9 months. She still ate fruit/veggie pouches but ate table foods too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1026307 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:06:55 +0000 MaisyMay 1026307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is just shy of 8 months and we started finger foods yesterday.

That's when we introduced finger foods, and once she had finger foods she wanted nothing to do with purees anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1020655 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:58:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1020655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with purees one week shy of 6 months. Started BLW around 7 months, I think? Even now at 15.5 months I still occasionally spoon feed her soft stuff like oatmeal and soup. She can use a spoon but it's still so messy sometimes it's easier for me to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puree-fed-babies-when-did-you-stop-purees-and-spoon-feeding#post-1020643 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:56:35 +0000 sunny 1020643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who did purees with your LOs... when did you stop purees and only do table foods? And when did you stop spoon feeding, both purees and table foods? </p>
