I would follow her lead. Gums are pretty amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toothless-1-year-old-amp-finger-foods#post-1876533 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:57:55 +0000 JerricaBenton 1876533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe compromise with bigger chunks? LO is a slow teether too. Their gums are super hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toothless-1-year-old-amp-finger-foods#post-1876488 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:22:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1876488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Talk to your pedi. My brother was the same and my mom said the doctor said to follow his lead, that's how old people eat! Their gums are pretty hard and good at mashing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toothless-1-year-old-amp-finger-foods#post-1876413 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 06:09:45 +0000 illumina 1876413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S has 7 teeth, but they're all at the front so I wouldn't say she particularly uses them for eating. She doesn't often bite pieces off...she prefers to put the whole thing in at once! Unless the fruit/food is going to get mushy really quick, I still cut into pieces. Strawberries I still cut in half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toothless-1-year-old-amp-finger-foods#post-1876321 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 22:31:30 +0000 daniellemybelle 1876321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My poor LO still has zero teeth at 11 months and no signs that any are on their way. Actually, I don't mind because I've heard that teething sucks, but she minds because she wants to eat like a big girl.</p> <p>Right now, she eats 90% finger foods. I will sometimes spoon feed her some oatmeal or yogurt or she'll have a pouch. Other than that, I have been cutting everything into very small bites unless it is super soft because I don't want her to choke. She gums things up well but she also stuffs her mouth really fast and it makes me nervous. For example, she will put an entire strawberry in her mouth... while reaching for more!</p> <p>I'm not sure if I should follow her lead and let her have large pieces of food (like full strawberries rather than cut in 1/8ths) even though she is tooth challenged? She seems irritated by the small pieces now and grabs for anything that isn't cut up. </p>
