LO liked her food chunky from day 1 so we had no issues. just give your LO a small bite to try out ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-straining-your-los-food#post-83403 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:17:10 +0000 heffalump 83403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Thanks- I will. She gagged when she first started eating solids so it freaks me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-straining-your-los-food#post-83401 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:16:31 +0000 Rubies 83401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: She won't choke - there's nothing to choke on! She might gag and spit her food out but there's nothing in a puree that will lodge in her throat. Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-straining-your-los-food#post-83400 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:16:21 +0000 heffalump 83400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: She's not getting bored, she loves it! I just want her to take the next step so she gets used to the chunkier food so eventually she'll be ready for real food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-straining-your-los-food#post-83397 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:14:59 +0000 heffalump 83397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I bought a baby food cook book (which was pretty silly because it's the exact same thing for each food- steam, blend, and strain). It says to strain until they're experienced eaters. I think my LO is there, but I just wanted to make sure she's ready. I'm terrified of choking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-straining-your-los-food#post-83395 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:14:04 +0000 Rubies 83395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never strained LO's food - she seems to enjoy the puree as it is (except for the peas). Is your LO getting bored of the puree? Maybe you can not strain it and make it a bit chunkier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-straining-your-los-food#post-83387 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:07:56 +0000 Andrea 83387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe? I never strained my LO's food, didn't know you were supposed to? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-straining-your-los-food#post-83377 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:51:27 +0000 heffalump 83377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a little over 7 months, she started eating solids at 6 months. It took her about a week to finally get out to eat, but now she's an expert eater. Should I stop straining her food when I make it now? </p>
