My daughter is 8 months and I am giving her stage 2 foods. When she turns 9 months, i will begin stage 3 foods. One friend has been giving her son table foods (chicken nuggets, fries, macaroni and cheese, etc) since he was about 7 months…. He had no teeth then. I think it is way too early to start table foods until the baby has more teeth and at least 1 year old. Am I wrong and should be starting table foods with my 8 month old?

she will be 8 months in 2 weeks and my friends and family are saying she can have it at 8 months. And others are telling me when she crawls. And she does crawl. what do you think? i dont want to start her to early if she is not ready.

My son is 3 months old & a couple of days ago I tried banana’s (in the jar) on him. I’ve had him on rice cereal for about a month now due to severe acid reflux. He takes down the banana’s…slowly and not very much but he does. Everyone has their own opinions on when you should start the solid foods & i’d just like to hear some.

When your baby has doubled his/her birth weight and does not seem satisfied with milk only, may start waking more often, or have a growth spurt that does not seem to end (this is what happened with my babies) – normally between 4 and 6 months. Baby will sometimes look interested when you are eating.
I also used plain baby rice cereal first, only one or two spoonfuls in the beginning, if baby likes it slowly increase it according to intake. Your baby will probably push her tongue forward when you start feeding her the first time, this is normal and after a few attempts she will get the hang of it. If not, just wait another week or so then try again.
After rice cereal, you can start with some veggies, like butternut or sweet potato. Don’t introduce fruit first as you don’t want her to develop a sweet tooth. Once she is used to veggies you can try some fruit, like pureed pear, apple and later banana. Remember banana could make her constipated, so watch carefully after feeding banana the first few times. But banana is a great help in treatment of a runny tummy..

I was wondering when will my baby Jadah start sitting up on her own and playing with her toys? She is 3 months old and Ive tried to introduce rattles to her and little bears. Also could she be teething ?…
She always has her hands in her mouth and slobbing She also like to chew on her clothes to where the front of her shirt in soaking wet.
thanx everyone!

I have tried sweet potato, apple, banana, swede & cauliflower. She loves the sweet potato, apple, and ok with the banana, but she doesn’t like the veggies so much! She is also not so keen on pure baby rice! Also, roughly how long after you start with solid food, should baby be eating 3 meals per day, I have been feeding solids at 2 meals per day for 2 weeks but I think she may need 3 meals per day, but I dont want ti give her too much too fast? She is 16 weeks old today?

Im a new mom so please shear anything you think I should know..

My son is almost 7 months old and has two teeth. My friend said I could give him some baby finger foods the kind that dissolve but Im kinda scared about it. When did you start this

Should you go through all the 1st foods, before you start the 2nd foods? or can you mix them up?
And why should you wait a week before introducing a new food? What are the signs of allergies in a baby?

I’ll admit I give my son a taste here and there of some things Im eating (it’s hard not to when he reaches for everything on my plate ha)
He is almost 7 months old, and has been on pureed fruits and veggies since he was 5 months.
He also eats baby rice cookies, and has no problem picking up the pieces and putting them in his mouth.
No teeth yet, but Ive seen babies go til they are 18 months without teeth, and they learn to just gum the food
Do you think its too early to start table foods?
