When did you intro table foods?

And also, what did you introduce first?  The Babies are eating purees and breastmilk right now.  I just want to be sure that I dont miss the boat with table foods.

 Thanks!

At 6 months he would do the Gerber puffs but our first real "solid" food was yogurt at 7 months followed by cherrios about a week or so later. Then we moved onto really soft fruits (bannanas were a huge hit). By 9 months, he was eating more table food.

hmmm, are purees not considered "solids"?

We started Abbie on rice cereal at 5 months and added Level 1 carrots and bananas a week or so ago.

Our pedi recommended we start at 5 months and no later than 6 months.

I just started purees at 7 months, and will be thinking about adding table foods (puffs, cherrios, small and soft pieces of fruit) in the next few months.

I guess that maybe purees are solid foods.  I mean table foods - just couldn't think of the right word to explain.

Honestly?  Whenever you start will be fine - your babies will let you know if they are not ready?

Mine took a LOOOOOOng time getting the hang of table food and Alex still eats a good amount of purees.  It was like 9/10 months when the idea of table food "clicked" for them.

oh, gotcha. :-)  yeah, no table foods yet for Abbie. Just purees. She doesn't even have teeth yet. :-)

At about 6-6.5 months we started with cheerios, puffs, and cottage cheese. And by 8 months she was fully eating table foods- she ate what we ate!

I want to say DD was about 7.5 months when I started offering finger food. We started with whole grain toast with fruit or veggie puree on it. And then moved onto super mushy carrots and other fruits/veggies. By 9 months, she was pretty much only on table food.

We started solids at 6 months once she displayed signs of readiness for solids. We did Baby Led Weaning and went straight to table/finger foods and has self-fed from the get go.
