A Solids Question

When did you all start feeding your LOs whatever you ate instead of 1 or 2 ingredient "meals." Wondering when I can just puree what we're eating or with soft stuff just give bites. We had our 6 month appt and I was planning on asking this but as  usual forgot. My boys haven't had any allergies or problems with any food so far FWIW.

    We started purees at 6 months and allergy tested all the foods that are Stage 1 and 2 before adding multiple ingredient things.  So for 3 days they ate sweet potatoes, then 3 days pears, then 3 days carrots, etc.  If they didn't have a reaction after being fed it 3 days in a row we assumed they weren't allergic to it.  Then we'd start combining already allergy tested foods.  So we would do sweet potatoes mixed with carrots.  I don't think we started giving bites of our food until they were at least 10 months old.  It took us a long time to get through a number of foods using those allergy rules.  We followed www.wholesomebabyfood.com for guidance.

    you can do this whenever you feel comfortable.  Some people skip the purees and just start on table food.

    Obviously stay away from milk, shellfish, nuts and honey.

    I have 10 month old triplets and we are sort of doing it now.  Sometimes for breakfast we give them french toast, waffles or pancakes (no syrup though)- they LOVE IT!  They eat mostly everything, fruit cut up, veggies cut up etc.  What I usually do is give them left-overs from the night before.  That way if I need to cut things smaller or puree a bit with some liquid I have plenty of time to do so. 

    We did just take them out to eat and we didnt bring any of their food.  They all split a giantic meatball and ate some pasta.  Just ease into it so you feel confident that there wont be any choking issues- you'll also be more comfortable giving them table food.

    WWW.weelicious.com   is also a GREAT website- tons of info. :)
