Hi, my daughter is 8 months and she is my first, so im not to familiar on when to give her certain things. I didnt know when i can substitute her baby food for a table food..such as say spaghettio's or something like that? She wont eat baby food meat unless its chicken and apples,chicken and ham, and sweet potatoes and turkey.

Ok thank you. Its just that i eat really spicy foods so its just kinda of hard to feed her what we are eating. I guess im going to have to stop eating them.

At 4 mo we almost couldn't keep up with our son's formula intake (was not cluster feeding- like formula wasn't enough) so we started cereal. With the cereal the thicker the better because he was "chewing" it. The Doc said we did the right thing and suggested foods to give him (as many web sights will too). Since he has always "chewed" things he hasn't had much of baby food. We started with mashing up plain table food. since he was 5/6 mo old, he eats what we eat, jus cut up into pieces that he can feed himself- now he is about 9 mo.

my son is 10 months old and ive been giving him table food since 8 months, mostly spagettios, raviolis eggs soft foods so its up to you really if you think your baby is fine with it then give it to them.

I have recently started giving my 8 month old bites of whatever we are eating. I tend to cook from scratch so I know what she is getting. She has responded well and now everytime my husband and I sit down to eat she stares at us like "where is mine" :)

Quoting Barbara:

All the stuff I have been reading says you can start giving table foods just becareful what you give her. I make all my childs foods and I think that will make a big differance with what he will eat. I share some of the stuff I eat now.

Well i give her like spaghettios and mac n cheese and stuff but she will take a few bites like she likes it and then after that she will not eat anymore.
