Can I give my 9 month old finger foods? She does not have any teeth yet.?

Definitely! Great answers above (well almost all...)

My son never had any purees, he hated them.

I will warn you though, they do gag. Gagging is different from choking though, so don't be alarmed. Babies have amazing gag reflexes. My son was quite the gagger, but it didn't bother him.

Yes absolutely!!! They don't need teeth the chew the early solids suggested anyway..

Early solids should be soft of dissolving and be in very small pieces...

Some suggestions:

Ripe banana

Ripe avocado

Cheerios-whole grain are good

Mashed potatoes

Very small and well cooked pasta with cheese or light tomato sauce

Apples or pears-these should be either super ripe and soft or steamed to be soft, the baby aisle sells them perfect for baby as well in cups..

Since she doesn't have teeth you may want to stay away from chunks of meat or some breads... Shredded very fine chicken breast is a good first meat and frozen waffles (cooked lightly) can be a good finger food..

I worked in a daycare and most parents brought in finger foods at 6 months. But be sure it's super tiny and soft enough since teeth aren't in.

Yes, she can have finger foods.

She doesn't need to teeth to eat them.

Babies chew with their gums. (And she will continue to chew with her gums even after she gets teeth. The molars (the chewing teeth) don't usually come in in late in the 2nd year.

As long as the food is relatively soft, or softens up in her mouth, she can eat it.

Feed her with water kind of food like urine.
