What are you all eating in the mushie stage? I have heard that crackers are ok if they are soaked, and if you chew, chew, chew. Is this right? I am hearing a lot of people saying that what you can tolerate is different for everyone. I thought it was physically soft foods, but I have also heard people say that it is actually soft to digest foods? My dietician was very vague about "soft" foods. My Dr. said "soft" foods. that was over a week ago, and I really didn't think to ask him more about it!

Help! :confused2:

"Soft foods" for me was basically anything that didn't require chewing. I ate applesauce, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes mashed up w/ a little sour cream, refried beans, tuna and chicken salad blended up in a mini food processor w/ lite mayo, lentil soup blended in the food processor, BBQ chicken (the kind that comes in the tubs) blended in the food processor, Stouffers spinach souffle, oatmeal, poached eggs mashed up.

YUM! Those all sound so delish! Now I'm hungry, lol.

I was told for mushies: 3 TBSP 3x a day protein.

3 TBS = 1/4 cup.

Soft protein is like tilapia, salmon,cottage cheese, eggs. Soft protein is any protein you can cut with your fork.
