Your pediatrician can tell you for sure, but kids age 9 months and older typically are ready for foods like original Cheerios when:
<ul>
<li>They have mastered the art of chewing. 
(it doesn&#8217;t matter how many teeth they actually have)</li>
<li>They can use the &#8220;pincer grasp&#8221; and can pick us small objects.</li>
<li>They can sit up without support.</li>
</ul>

Easy to grab and swallow, and dissolves easily in the mouth.
