Quick Question

when did your babies get down the hand to
mouth coordination?
amelia can get her food to her mouth but
can't get it into her mouth because she
has it wrapped up in her hand/s. she gets
too frusterated about it. It's really
cute.

Hi Sunflower,
I would say my daughter developed the
coordination at aproximately three and a
half months(ish). At approximately five
months, we gave her Gerber Fruit puffs.
That encouraged her since she loves to
eat!
It is very cute when they try to do things
like that and get mad. It's so precious
that you should videotape as much as
possible.

aaww thanks. Yeah, I do give her those
thingies and she likes them. she is sooo
funny because she drools so much that they
are normally gone before they find her
mough. lol it's cute though. i gave her
some mellon today and she was trying to
put them in her mouth....she loves melon
in the little fresh fruit feeder but not
so much outside of the little bag. heheh
i love to watch her try and then get
mad....so then i do it for her.

That's cute that she drools so much that
it dissolves her food! How old is she? I
have to say I love when my baby gets
frustrated at times because it's soo
funny! Babies are such blessings! She's
growing so fast. I remember when I first
started talking on this forum she was
still in the womb and now she's
14-months-old!!! Mommies really need to
cherish every moment with their little
ones.

I think about four months with Chu. It
took another month or two for him to
perfect the pincer grasp (actually be able
to grap the food and get it into his mouth).

hilarious..he was going to his hand

girl, you never know! It could be a week,
or it could be a month. Or hell, it could
be today!!! 
But don't stress if she doesn't get it
soon. Oni will grab like 5 puffs, and
shove them, plus her fist in her mouth.
She's got the pincer grip down pat and can
"palm" her cup (hold it with one hand).
But I didn't write her age down every time
she busted through a milestone, so my
memory is failing! ha!!
I'll put some pics up today, and one of em
is .oni shoving her whole fist down her
throat! lmao!!
I'm still trippin over .melia being 7
months!!!!!

Are those little gerber fruit puffs okay
for babies who are still on stage 1 foods?
I'm too paranoid to try .cheerios yet -
.i'm terrified she'll choke. The puffs
dissolve, right? Ugh, I can't believe .i'm
panicing over this stuff. Answers please?

yea, the puffs dissolve.
I don't think I gave them to .oni too
early. BEcause at her 7month(I think) Dr.s
appt, he wanted me to start enforcing
feeding herself. So I think that day I
went out and bought puffs!
I know she'd get them before 7 months, cuz
.Jathan wuuubs em, so he would always give
her some.
I'm not sure she can have cheerios. Being
that she doesn't have any teefuses! I
don't think they dissolve as easily.
But, when she does...Oni *loves* the
fruity cheerios!! They're sooo much
cheaper than the puffs! And you get *a
lot* more!!

Thank you, .sarah my love! I knew there
was something I wanted to do while we were
out (we had our taxes done today - woohoo)
but my brain wasn't working. I wanted to
swing by the store and grab some of those
puffs! Damn it. I might go back out today
anyway. She's 6 1/2 months, so that should
be good, right?
Alyvia is rejecting her sippy cup I think it might be
because she's breastfed and has almost no
experience with bottles. Meh. She gets so
mad when I tilt the cup and try to pour a
tiny bit onto her tongue. *sigh* my little
drama queen.

Oni's favorite puff is the peach puffs!!!
She looooves them!! But she looves her
cheerios(fruity) too!!! They're
awesome...and naturally sweet!!
I can't believe all of our babies are
gonna be one soon!!!

Alyvia gagged when I gave her stage 1
peaches. I'm not sure that she likes them.
 which
actually makes sense, because I hate them
too. What other flavors do they have? They
have veggie ones too, right?

yes!!
They have sweet corn, and sweet potaote in
the veggies!!! They might have more that
I'm unaware of, but that's what they got
here!!
The sweet corn is great!!! They were the
1st ones we got for her!!
She learned really quick how to pinch with
the puffs. I would hold one puff in my
hand and if she wanted it, she had to pick
it up and eat it!!

cheerios dissolve way better than the
gerber fruit puffs. my son choked on those
cause theyre so thick and big. plus
cheerios are way healthier. he didnt even
like the gerber fruit puffs.

oh, really?
.i'm so scared she'll choke. I was
certified in infant cpr but that was years
ago, and I honestly don't know if I could
help her if she choked.
We never eat .cheerios. They do
dissolve? I didn't think they did at all.
Ugh, now .i'm confused.

I didn't give .adriana cheerio's until a
couple months ago, but she's been eating
those puffs since about 5 or 6 months.
They are a *little* bit bigger than a
cheerio, but they are made to disolve...so
even if she can't chew it, it will disolve
with her saliva. If you want, get some and
put it in your mouth to test it first,
that's what I did. Adriana still likes
those. They have strawberry apple, and
cinnamon apple...hmm they have a few new
ones I think. Even the wal-mart brand has
a different selection, last I checked. But
they are the same thing, only a different
shape...I think the parent's choice was a
tad smaller than gerber.
