First time mom, so my little man is 9 months and has no teeth yet. I’m not sure when a good time to try meat would be. I was told to wait till he has teeth then I seen that it wasn’t and just got me confused. Also looking for more food ideas as well. He mostly has fruits, veggies, scrambled eggs, pancakes, baby oatmeal. I feel like I can offer him so much more just starting to get a little overwhelmed trying to figure it out. Thank you in advance for any tips!

I feed my son meat all the time and he has quite got teeth just yet but their gums are strong enough to cut through and chew meat. If you don't want to give it to him whole you can shred it up and mix it with veg ☺️

My baby is 9months and has no teeth. I jusy give her a little off what ever I'm having. You could start with some pulled beef/ pork or shredded chicken. Cut it as small as you are comfortable with. After the first few times you'll be more comfortable to offer the right amount etc x

They don’t need teeth to eat any kind of food, don’t worry if you give a piece of meat he will probably just suck on it. And food wise they can have anything that you are having but with appropriate seasoning

My 1st never got teeth until about 13-14 months 😂🙈 so definitely don’t wait until they have teeth 😂 xx

I started giving my baby meat at 6 months, I just made sure it was soft

My baby eats every meat, she’s 9months and has no teeth. Xx

Babies can start eating meat as early as 6mo old! Check out the app “Solid Starts” It shows you how to prep/cook/cut all different types of meats and foods that is age appropriate for your baby. They also have an Instagram page, and a recipe/meal idea section!

You don’t need to wait till they get teeth. Their gum is strong enough if you cut them in appropriate way. He needs to practice chewing anyway xx

No need for teeth to try meat! My son is 8 months no teeth and eats meat just fine!

My son was chomping on chicken drumsticks at 7m and he had no teeth until 8m. They use their gums. Try taking away a drumstick from him to replace w a new one 😂 he screams his head off. Lol
