at what age did you feel your Lo table food?

My son is starting to not eat his jarred food and more interested in what we are eating.. he is 8 months old and daycare told me he can eat real food now but I'm conflicted.. at what age did you feed him regular food and do you have any food suggestions? he doesn't have teeth yet either.. TIA

Re: at what age did you feel your Lo table food?

around 7 months started with cereal and Puffs. Don't need teeth. Both were soft and could be gummed.

After he got that down I was giving him small pieces of pancakes, soft turkey meatball, matzoh ball soup, avocado, etc.

Mostly soft foods that break down easier.

Around 7-8 months I think for real table food. Around 6 months for puffs.

YOu can start now if you feel comfortable with it. Start with softer foods.

Re: at what age did you feel your Lo table food?

we started puffs at like 6.5 months and then started offering him pancakes, french toast, meatballs, taco meat, mashed potatoes, pasta, cous cous, french fries, chicken cutlet, turkey, pizza, pretty much whatever we eat for dinner... at around 8.5 months

Started giving DD purees at 6 months and by 8 months she was sick of them. She wanted what we were eating so we started giving her table food.

I gave cheerios and puffs at at 7 months. At 8 months I started with soft fruits and steamed veggies along with toast, pasta, rice, tiny pieces of meat. From there we just gradually added more and more variety.

Re: at what age did you feel your Lo table food?

6 months old...........DD ate everything. Yogurt, cheese, meatballs, meatloaf, pasta, bread, mashed potatoes, pancakes, scrambled eggs, etc.

She didn't have a single tooth until she was a year old. They don't need teeth to eat. Teeth are for mostly for tearing but as babies you're giving them soft foods only so teeth aren't necessary. Their jaws are very strong and even when they are all gums they can handle chewing food.

Re: at what age did you feel your Lo table food?

We started DD2 at 6 months. Now at 10 months, she is completely off baby food.

Re: at what age did you feel your Lo table food?

We skipped baby foods all together and started table foods between 7-8 months with all 3 kids.
