Hi All,

Thank you for ur replies on my 1-2 of my previous queries.
I just wanted to know when & how shld i start giving NON_MASHED food to my 8.5 mth old son.
He currently takes either Biscuits in Milk, Dalia or Sooji for breakfast; Apple or Banana for midmorning snack, Khichdi arnd 4-5 pm & Cerelac at 8-9 pm. He is breastfed till now.

If i give him something which is not grinded in food processor he makes a vomitting face.
When can si start giving him things like roti pieces or even part of our food.
He doesnt hv teeth till now.

pls. help me

THANKS

My son is also 8.5 month old and no teeth till date. I also give him mashed foods. But sometime I give him a piece of Roti or a biscuit. He love to eat on his own. But do not give him biscuit on regular basis as it contains maida.

Good to know u r still breast feeding him.Well U can start giving him non mashed food from now. What u can do is start grinding it in a semi solid form give him for couple of weeks then slowly shift to non mashed. Regarding roti I think wait for some moretime & then slowly give him rotis.
What I do with my 11 month daughter is what ever I eat I just but 1 peice of it in her mouth,in that way she is developing taste of food which we eat.
I hope it helps for u .
