When do you move to stage 2 foods, meats, etc
I've heard different things from different people, just curious as to what you do...
DD is 5.5months and we've done carrots, peas, prunes, sweet potato, oatmeal, pears
I'm trying to decide when we should try some meats

Re: When do you move to stage 2 foods, meats, etc
my DD will be 6 months on january 12 and we haven't even started solids yet. she shows no interest and the ped agreed that i might as well wait for allergy reasons.
ds, on the other hand, was eating barbecue with us by 8 months  we were doing stage 1 type foods at 5 months and he was eating just about everything by 7 months.

Re: When do you move to stage 2 foods, meats, etc
i always did stage 2, stage 1 really is just a smaller jar so i would just split the stage 2 (it is a big difference in price per ounce)...
meats i started at 6 months

Wow - is that true? I always thought each level was thicker than the previous (can't tell you where I came up with that, though). Can I really skip stage 1?
Sorry to hijack!

She said meats after 6 month appt, and 2's is okay now to start (DD is 5.5months). Sounds like we have the same advice. I guess I was just wondering what others are doing.
I don't know why but I'm getting bored with her veggies, and I'm not even the one eating it I can't wait to give DD meat 
I haven't had time to make the food myself with the holidays but now I want to start blending/processing myself...
ETA: BTW, cute avatar!!!!

Re: When do you move to stage 2 foods, meats, etc
i went straight to stage 2 at 4 months, and at 5 months we started meats (apples & chicken, sweet pot & turkey, never just plain meat in a jar)
