I started Stage 2 around 6 months. She had been on solids for about a month. I started after going through all the stage 1 foods and making sure she didn't have any reactions to the individual fruits and veggies. Stage 2 basically are larger portions and mixtures of new and old fruits and veggies. It says they should sit independently. My DD could do that, but I don't think it is necessarily that important.
i think the rule of thumb is when they have been through all of the stage 1s without any problems. however, i think we went through stage 1s two times. when i realized i was adding a decent amount of cereal to thicken it up, it was time!
