You can give him pretty much anything you eat even with the front teeth only, being cautious, of course. Mainly, vegetables (squash, peas, beans were my kids favorites) of any sort making sure they are cooked thoroughly so they are pretty soft. Any fruit, cut into small pieces. Also, rice and pasta are okay. The goal is just for him to experience different textures and tastes and figure out what to do with it but not necessarily to replace the nutrition he is getting from his formula since he will continue getting the formula through 1 year. One of my twins didin't have a single tooth in his head until he was 14 months old but it didn't stop him from being a good chewer and learning to eat well. We didn't give either of them a bunch of meat or anything but spaghetti was one of their favorites. I understand being worried about choking but seriously, we were told to give him anything that we would eat and when I thought it was too big, I cut it in small pieces. They both loved grapes to snack on and I cut them up into quarters to be sure. Good luck!
