crackers

When did you give your LO some? I saw a mom feeding her Lo some of the Earths Best kind and Lo didnt have teeth yet. Do they just get them mushy in their mouth then swallow? Should I wait? I wasnt in a rush just wondering how common it is to introduce crackers at this age. (7 mos.)

We haven't given N crackers but he does fine with hard pretzels and pretty much anything else we've given him.  They don't need teeth - their gums are pretty hard and can handle a lot.

I gave my LO crackers about 6ish months.

She gums them enough to eventually swallow or just crushes them in her hand and then stuffs in her mouth.

It's a more "keep her hands occupied so we can eat in peace" sort of thing. :)

After Collin had the puffies down pat I let him eat crackers. 

I posted a pic of him eating some baby goldfish on facebook and people were shocked I let him eat them. Whatever. It's not like that's all I give him :-\
