How can a 9month old eat solids? My 10 month old barely has 2 teeth,she'll gag if she eats out of those big jars with "chunks" of food in them....how do u all do it?

I have a friend whose lo has not teeth & eats chunks of meat... teeth don't mean they can't eat chunks, they actually "gum" it, at least my 12mo with 6 teeth does.
Some lo's just don't take to mashy food until they are older... the gaging is not related to lack of teeth, just she hasn't learnt to master it yet...keep trying it will happen
Stacy. I use minced beef (think you call it hamburger or ground beef in the US) & then I just cook up any veg I have, or use frozen veg, pretty much use up my "scraps". I think you could use lamb or chicken or turkey, I just tend to use beef
I make a tomato sauce... (roughly like all my cooking) tin of diced tomatos, 2 tblsp tomato paste, then a bit of herbs... sometimes I just buy a "spaghetti sauce" or use Ketchup.
BTW my dh & FIL both love them, but when I was giving Liam some lentils they both were horrified...LOL little do they know they eat them
Stacy I also mix Lentils with avocado, Liam seems to love it & actually I like it on toast too
Also have to agree, mash up the lentils, they get digested better
