table food

When did you start with table food and what did you start with? DS is almost 7 months, so curious when we can start other stuff?

Also.... how long did you keep up the 3 day rule for new foods? At some point I feel like you really can't keep doing it!

At DS's 8 month dr appointment, he said we can start table food and stop the 3 day rule (since DS had no allergies or issues with any food).

Re: table food

DS is 7.5 months and we are just starting him on table foods. He seems ready, but I'm nervous about him choking still. I'd like to hear how others introduce foods.

Last night, for the first time, I gave him very soft pieces of chicken broken into itty bitty little pieces. They were so small I don't even know if he realized they were in his mouth!

We stopped the 3 day rule a long time ago. Once we started stage 2 foods and he was eating more, I never had enough of a single jar to feed him the same thing for 3 days.

Re: table food

we started around 7 months with puffs. DH was crazy, and would make me cut them into quarters, so they were pretty much microscopic. that got old after a few days.

by 8 months we had her eating / getting a taste of anything we were eating. we also stopped the 3 day rule once she moved off purees.

Re: table food

Purees became a fight by 6 months,s o I turned to table food then. Dinner is so much nicer when I can feed her finger foods and not something that requires a spoon! I give her whatever I make for us - steak, pork, veggies, shrimp, macaroni, on and on, I just cut into small pieces.
