  We offer him food - whatever we're eating - whenever we can all sit down together to eat something.  Sometimes that's morning, noon, and night.  Sometimes just noon.  Sometimes just night.  I don't sweat it at this point.  I always hope we can do dinner, but sometimes he's just too tired by the time it's ready.  

  At daycare (3 days/week), they give him a morning snack from time to time, and always lunch, and then I try to haul a$$ when I get home to have something ready for dinner before he's melting down, but that doesn't always happen.

  So at least 3 days/week, he gets lunch for sure.  The rest of the week is pretty up in the air.

  He's been feeding himself since about 5.5 months, has never had a puree. 

  ETA: still no teeth here either.

  We started doing the second meal shortly after 6 months, we started solids at about 5 months.  We still haven't done any finger foods, but he doesn't have any teeth yet either.

  Been eating puffs since he was about 6 1/2 mo. Love those suckers. He has 6 teeth now (at 8 months). Probably in the past couple weeks I added a second meal though.

  She was eating oatmeal in the morning for a couple weeks before 6m.  Then we started fruits and veggies once a day for a week.  Then it went to 2x a day.  Sometimes if we have a super busy day, she only gets 1x, but mostly 2.  Started giving her puffs and Mum-mums probably 6.5m and she's done great with them.  Started Cheerios and sweet potato fries just this last week.

  We added a second "meal" for LO around 5.5 months and a third a week ago.  We started giving him puffs and biter biscuits last week when he was teething and he loved it.

  I started P on homemade purees a little after 6 months. We started with veggies and then after I introduced fruits, I added a second meal. Probably about 3 weeks later. She was getting 1-2 oz of fruits in the afternoon and 2 oz of veggies at night but now she gets hungrier so she gets 2oz of fruit in the afternoon and 4oz of veggies at night. She also gets puffs sometime during the day because she likes the independence of putting stuff in her own mouth.

  When we start meats (prob next month?) I'm not going to puree those. So I guess if you don't count puffs those will be her first finger foods. I might try giving her some cooked carrots cut up before that since they're soft.
