1 year old with NO teeth wants to eat "big kid" food
« on: August 26, 2007, 02:26:47 am »
Hi!  I have a brand new 1 year old & her teachers at school say she doesn't like to eat her babyfood anymore.  I've noticed this a little at home, too. The problem I'm having is that she doesn't have any teeth and so I'm not quite sure what to give her.  Any ideas?  ??? ???

Wendee, she can eat anything that a one year old with teeth would eat. Colin had no teeth at all until one week before his first birthday - and then he got the top fronts. He still ate everything that other kids did. LOs use their tongues to mash stuff on the roof of their mouth, just a different way of chewing.

Even meat - like cut up hotdogs, lunchmeat, hamburger?  (sorry, I'm paranoid she'll choke)  Wendee :P

Sure. Just make sure it's cut up very small and she's not left unsupervised.

Kyra just turned 1 on Wednesday and she still does not have any teeth.  We feed her all sorts of people food and just make sure that it is cut up really well. ;D

thanks all!  We tried tonite & unfortunately for dinner she wanted nothing to do with it so at least I offered & she played with it a little. I gave her a 1/2 jar of 3rd Foods babyfood but she wasn't really into that either.  Wendee

That's ok, she will start getting interested if you keep offering.

We'll keep trying.  She does do breakfast really well. It's just lunch & dinner that she's more hesitant about.  :P  Thanks for your help! Wendee

 ;D lol!  Well, you know what they say, it is the most important meal of the day.  Probably more adults should follow their lead - Wendee

Hi there
My 20month old still has only 2 teeth!  Today she ate roast lamb, roast potatoes, roased squash, some strawberries, some blueberries, toast, a slice of melon and a plate of spaghetti with pesto.  She's been eating stuff like this since she was about 8months old (we went down the mostly finger food route)
She's living proof they don't need teeth!  Those little gums are hard!  I would avoid choking hazards like raw carrot or apple, or tough meat, but other than that it's a green light on anything gummable.
Why not start with a piece of toast with something spread on it - e.g. philly cheese, and see how she does.
Good luck.
Fiona
