Brand New Dad » Month By Month » 7 Months Old » Breastfeeding Advice

At seven months, your baby may begin to eat mashed or pureed vegetables and fruit in addition to infant cereal. These foods are not as important as breast milk. Do not worry if he is more interested in playing with his foods than eating them. Nursing him will meet most of his food needs.

Sometimes, your baby may bite down on your partner's breast with his new teeth while he is breastfeeding. He doesn't know that it hurts her. Usually, this happens late in the feeding. If it does, your partner should slip her finger in between his gums and gently say, "No." If he does it again, she should slip her finger in between his gums and gently say, "No" again.
