A lot of parents are usually wondering, “When babies can eat cheerios?” Or toast, cheese, biscuits, watermelon, and apple. But don’t worry about this anymore, in this article; you’re going to learn how and when to feed your baby in a completely safe way.
When I first became a mother, you cannot imagine how excited and delighted I was to start feeding my little one. However, since I was feeding a lot of other babies as a therapist, I knew I had a severe nerve around the corner.
Although my son had different baby food, I didn’t know what he would do if he ate the food he had to bite before swallowing it. He might choke (it’s not as bad as it sounds like, but afraid of me as a parent to see baby gagging in front of me and I cannot help).
Fortunately, my Ergo therapist’s brain would adversely affect my son’s future diet if I waited for my mother’s mind to overheat. This, for sure, does not mean that there is no perfect time to feed your baby.
It is so important for you to know that you can confidently give your baby puffs, or biscuits, cheerios, meat or other foods that we tend to wonder if our babies can handle safely. Let’s immerse ourselves in the food you care about the most.
When can a Baby Start to eat Cheerios?
I think Cheerios is a portion of excellent finger food for your Baby.
They were primarily the first and most common food given to my Generation as infants and young children. And while Cheerios is always right, there are a few things that must first be known.
In Pediatrics, Cheerios is not the first food I recommend parents to give it to their babies.
They are ideal for easy pick-up, but will not disappear so quickly. The Baby should ideally bite (with or without teeth) up and down to chew the Cheerios. It eventually dissolves, but usually after the Baby tries to swallow it.

This is the reason why babies can eat Cheerios between 9 and 12 months sometimes.
To be precise, everything depends on the food that your baby is already eating. Back to before your baby had cheerios; I just want to make sure about the fact that babies can eat fast-dissolving foods such as Graham crackers and puffs. I want my little one to eat soft food also. Occasional gagging is normal, but persistent gagging that prevents your baby from eating is actually an indication that your baby is not ready to eat Cheerios yet.
To clarify things: Your baby can eat cheerios when he is:
- Between 9 to 12 months
- Safe to eat different food
- You can take Cheerios with tweezers (using forefinger and thumb together). Teach your baby to feed himself, on his own.
When can the baby eat puffs?
Many brands sell puffs now, you can find them wherever you go, but my favorite food is the very first Finger babies.
I gave each of my three kids, the first finger food when they were about 7-8 months, but your kids may not be ready to have it till the age of nine months.
What is more important than age is the signs that show if your baby is ready to eat Puffs like:
- If the baby can sit independently
- Look, how you eat, and to show that it is either gripping Lingen, or with their baby food, and swings
- Usually between 7 to 9 months, but that depends on your baby
If you are not sure about starting your baby on puffs, it is always a good idea to talk to your pediatrician first. One of the fantastic benefits of Puffs and the reason I prefer them for babies is that they dissolve quickly in saliva. If your baby takes a piece in his mouth and does not know what to do, don’t worry, it will dissolve into blobs that your baby can swallow it easily without any effort.
