My DD is 11 months also. I have her on stage 3 but she is taking herself off of that. She wants "big girl" food. She eats whatever I am eating. I do not give her a bottle at feeding because she doesn't want it. I give her a bottle about 2 hours after a meal. I give her a sippy cup with water in it with meals.

I always gave a bottle with the meal or beforehand for the first year. I would say she should be on Stage 3 at 11 months.

Sydney just turned 11 months yesterday and she has been off baby food for a few months now. She only has her 2 bottom teeth and just this week is starting to get the top 2.
But this does not hinder her from eating everything!
We tried stage 3's but she didn't really like them.
How does Shannon do with regular food?
Syd gets milk(she is on cows milk) when she wakes up and before bed. Occassionally she will drink 4 oz or so in the afternoon.
With meals she drinks water or watered down juice.

Brendan will be 11 months next wek. He still eats some jarred food, but I also give him a lot of real food as well. He has 3 meals a day and 3 8 oz bottles. I give him breakfast around 7:30, a bottle at 10-10:30, lunch 12-12:30, bottle around 3:00, dinner at 5:00-5:30, and one last bottle at 6-6:30. I don't give the bottles with the meals because he's not hungry for both so I spread it out. If I give him a stage 3 jar he'll usually finish it and then eat some finger foods as well. He eats puffs, cheerios, cut up pieces of soft fruit and veggies, toast, pancakes, hard boiled egg yolks, pasta. He also likes meatballs and meatloaf. If I cook chicken or beef I'll put it in my food processor real quick just to break up a bit and usually I'll mix it with some veggies.

Don't worry about the teeth. Babies are really good at mashing everything up with their gums. Brendan has had 8 teeth since about 5 months, but he doesn't use them when he chews. Everything gets gummed in the back anyway.

7am- Bottle 3oz formula, 3oz milk
8:30am- breakfast examples- pancakes, oatmeal, banana, bagel, french toast, muffin, cereal bar, sliced peaches, waffles
10:30-Bottle same mixture
12:30-lunch examples-chicken nuggests, mac n cheese, egg noodles, pizza, baby carrots steamed, fish sticks, mashed potatoes, water in sippy cup
3:30-Bottle same mixture
5:00-snack examples- animal crackers, graham crackers, water in sippy cup
6:30-dinner examples- could be same examples as lunch, then fruit cup
7:45-Bottle same mixture

This kid eats mostly anything!
