Are these chunky? Or just textured? My baby doesn't like chunks yet, but I would love to try these for the variety if they are just textured...

These variety packs are pretty smooth for stage three food but the quinoa can be a bit challenging depending on your kid. There are no chunks like you would find in stage three Gerber brand food which incorporates pieces of chopped pasta and veggies. I gave my son very small undiluted amounts at first. I've found warming the food helps immensely because it smooths out the consistency and brings out the flavor and your baby, if like both of mine, will enjoy the experience more. My 8 month old was able to handle it after two weeks of gradual introduction. Your baby might take to it quicker. Good luck!

The ones I received were just a thicker texture. Surprisingly, my daughter's favorite has been the salmon.

These are chunky, my 11 month is not a fan of the texture. I am hoping when he gets a little older or I might try blending it up a bit with some water...

They are hard, but very easy to chew. I have a lazy eater and he loves them. I know the gummies would be awesome, but they would just not work with these since they are made from real WHOLE food, as opposed to synthetic vitamins.

I'd say they're mostly just chewy. Not too hard or soft. If you put them in liquid (I like to make overnight oats and put these in) then they will get very soft.

They're hard chew sticks. Not as hard as a bully stick but definitely not soft. I would compare them to chewing a carrot.

Yes the ingredients are not as chunky, softer texture. The only variety that seems to be a harder chew is the Maple Pumpkin Seed with sea salt, but I like the flavor so much I don't mind the consistency.

Not my experience. I received a bag of primarily thin ones. My chewers gulped them down, so that was my first and last bag. There's also a 1-star reviewer stating they were square and too thick. When did you order your last bag? Were they all primarily square or various sizes? If I could get a bag of thick ones, I'd start buying these again.

They are hard, not soft. My daughters both chewed on the soft ones and made extra holes, so these worked better for them.

Sorry to hear that Jill. We are on our 4th box and the texture has been fairly consistent. What I have noticed is that the size of the "flake" might be dependent on how much the box was adjutated during shipping.

Good question! I think they are smooth not bumpy. But that's my perspective. Enjoy!

They are crunchy, but they smell delicious. My schnoodle pup loves them. The smell might entice your baby to give them a try.

These are average softness. Probably not soft enough for her delicate skin. Try a bamboo washcloth, they are super soft!

I didn't love them at first but now I do. They all have about the same texture... You get used to it, and they are very addictive!

They are not crunchy like a biscuit treat but I wouldn't describe them as a soft treat along the lines of a Zukes Mini Natural or the like. They are of a fairly firm and chewy consistency but still easy to break with the fingers. If the bag has been opened for quite a while though they dry out and get relatively hard.

My son was eating them before he had teeth. They soften up quickly so it may get messy (and sticky). But without teeth you will have to keep a close eye because the pieces may break off too big for a little one that isn't use to eating something solid. But my son took to them quickly and enjoyed feeding himself.

Well, I wouldn't call them squishy, but they are not hard. I would call them pliable. The doll is as perfect a replica of a baby as you can get. When my Granddaughter (who had a 6 month old sister named Roxie) opened her gift, she exclaimed, "My Roxie!".

No. Theyre actually pretty soft and as long as you keep them in good shape they are nice and smooth. Read their instructions that come in the package! Very helpful

They are semi-hard, not too hard and not too soft like gummies. They have a delicious chew, give them a try you won't regret it.
