Tara ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Phoenix ate my post. I totally forgot to copy before I posted too.
Oh vw, not as a "strategic move..." (((vw))) Bad shrink, no biscuit.
Ah, too late once more to unload one of mine. *g*Next time I find I need a new mail that can handle big-ass attachments, I am coming to you first Cashmere.
Owen stories are good. Though now I want grapes.
Small pieces please, and portion control
I walk that fine line between too small to pick up and small enough not to choke. Did you know that you can get about 10 pieces out of a medium sized, seedless grape?

Okay, Owen's more than safe. I think I was content with quartering a grape.

I am a little paranoid, but a close family friend lost his son who choked to death four years ago and that left a mark.
VW, I honestly think firebombing the insurance company would be a lot better strategic move....
Cass, insent
And now I'm a worried mom because Owen is obviously way ahead of Annabel in what solids you're giving him, and I'm afraid I'm being too cautious! Our pediatrician recommends waiting on finger foods until 8 months, so she's only been eating them for a few weeks. So far I've stuck to strictly baby foods like the Gerber fruit puffs, biter biscuits, and zwieback toasts. And Cheerios.
Speaking of which, the girl is due for a feeding....

So. Damn. Messy.
Try frozen waffles. Whole wheat, if they have them. Cut them up and there you go.
That's wonderful about Owen, Cashmere. Sara was all about the sweet potatoes and green beans, et al, when it was baby food, but cooked pieces, not so much, sadly. She does love apples, bananas, and grapes, though.
t watches Emeline finish up her steak and potatoes
How well I remember the days of cutting grapes into quarters...

He's not that far ahead. He's only been eating Cheerios for maybe a month or two (I'm not sure). He's been eating biter biscuits and Zwieback for a little less time. I first gave him fresh, ripe fruit in teeny pieces two or three weeks ago and today was the first time I'd tried cooked, cubed veggies.
I tried to take it slower, but he kept taking the spoons out of my hands when I was trying to feed him. I went through 8 spoons in one feeding and heard that that was an indication that he wanted to feed himself. The combination of finger food and me shoveling in pureed baby food seems to work.
You're not overly cautious--you and Annabel are your best guides.
