We give LO pretty much anything we eat, as long as it's soft enough for me to squish between my fingers I figure he can squsih it in his gums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-late-teethers#post-1260908 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:18:05 +0000 lamariniere 1260908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made sure everything was very small and soft. LO got his first teeth at 11.5 months and only had 6 teeth by 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-late-teethers#post-1260902 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:16:29 +0000 immabeetoo 1260902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: I bet he will surprise you if you let him try! My kiddo only has three in front and can eat most anything just grinding his gums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-late-teethers#post-1260898 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:15:53 +0000 mynoahbear 1260898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dd#1 didn't get her first tooth until she was 13 months old. I offered her a lot of soft foods that she could easily gum, like bananas, pasta, bread, ripe pears, mangoes, steamed carrots and peas. I diced up the foods fairly small and just made sure she only ate one piece at a time and didn't overstuff her mouth. It's surprising how well they are able to "chew" with their gums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-late-teethers#post-1260851 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 07:32:35 +0000 Aimed 1260851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 11 months and not a tooth in sight. I assume that they will show up at some point and we won't have to resort to baby dentures, but I'm the meantime could any other mamas of late teethers tell me how it affecting eating? My LO takes purées, puffs and crackers but I nervous to give him chunks of food as he can't chew them and I am terrified of choking.<br /> I should probably mother up and give him bigger chunks of food but the lack of teeth to grind food worries me.<br /> All thoughts welcome! </p>
