big people food but no teeth?

My girls are the toothless wonders, hehe. They are quickly getting "bored" with baby jar food. Is there any table food I could safely give them? I'm thinking things like eggs or something, I don't know. Any ideas? I give them the yobaby yogurt, they love that. And they will still eat the jar food but they just arn't crazy about it anymore for some reason. Maybe its just a phase?

Toast strips, cheerios, puffs, cheese shreds, shredded meat, diced fruits or veggies (soft, or cooked). They might be getting bored with the texture, I bet you could move on to Stage 3s as well.

 

I have the same problem, but Ellie just turned one and has one tooth. She will eat Cheerios, noodles, soft veggies. Ellie doesn't like the Stage 3s. Too much chewing involved. She'll eat the 'sauce' and the meat/noodles will be in her mouth. So why she'll eat real mac&cheese I have no idea. She can't seem to gum the meat in Gerber Grad meals...it will just stay in her mouth and I have to dig it out. I'm doing the Stage 2 sweet potato/turkey types of foods for the meat protein.

I'm open to suggestions too!

 

Jenny gave some good suggestions. I would add pancakes, pasta and waffles. They don't need teeth, they just mash it all with their gums. You could also try bananas maybe even the meat sticks. I just did anything that seemed soft enough for them to mash with their gums.

 

Liam had no teeth til he was 15 mos and i gave him anything we were eating including steak and he did just fine.

 

I'd ask your pedi about eggs. Many Dr's will wnat you to hold off on introducing eggs for at least the first year if not longer.

Definitely check with your dr. about eggs. We were told at 9 months to introduce them sometime before 12 months as that is when they get the chicken pox vax. that way they know if they are allergic to eggs, but check with yours first as they all say different things.
