No teeth needed to start solids.
MJ slobbers all over things such as toast and they go softer and then she sucks and chews them.
She also bashes the food with her hands...
But as i have mentioned earlier, it is more about the experience that the intake... If you compare what you would be giving your little one if you were doing the mushy foods, you would start of with one teaspoon only - its a very small intake really.
The health nurses told me that grated apple was really good too.

Cookie, i would be interested in helping out with the paper
