Are saltine crackers added to diet after mushies?

Hi, I know after the clear fluids I was able to add them but I don't know if that's the rule of thumb. I was able to break up saltines in my broth.

Not usually because they're not soft. Check with your doctor to be sure.

I was allowed saltines and graham crackers at the mushy phase. Reason being, that they quickly turn to mush once your saliva mixes with them. I didn't eat the saltines, but I did partake in a few graham crackers

Are saltine crackers added to diet after mushies?

I was told only if they were put in liquid and mushed to be no larger than cottage cheese. I don't eat them anyway so no biggie for me!

Thanks!!
