Probably a silly question

Yes you can. Im also afraid of choking but if you have tik tok people show tips and tricks all the time. They also sell books on Amazon for blw safe foods

Yes. Teeth are not a requirement. If you're scared of choking make sure you familiarise yourself with the difference between choking and gagging, they will gag when putting food in their mouth but this is normal and all part of understanding how to feed them selves. The gag is a protective reflex to stop them from choking, so although it's not nice to see or hear, it's there for a reason.

Use the solid starts app to tell you how to prepare food in what size and shape etc for your age baby 😊

All of the above I just came to say its not a silly question 💗

you absolutely can! those gums are stronger than you think. they will gag which can be a little nerve racking but it’s totally normal

Thank you everyone for the support and advice 🤍xxx
