when to introduce table food to almost 10 month old?

[Kyle 08-17-10]

My son who is 10 months old (well will be soon) is never satisfied about what he eats. He gets 7 oz of milks 5 times a day. He also gets fruits with oatmeal at 9am and then he has some chicken and veggies from gerber and dinner he sometimes gets rice and peas, He also gets juice two times a day in there, He also has two bottom teeth. He seems to never be satisfied about what he eats. He always seems hungry even when he is done. No matter what he is always hungry. When is the correct age to offer table food?
dick- no crazy dude, re read what i said. i said when should i introduce table food not tables.

it would have been fine to give him table foods a while back.
Many parents are even skipping mush if they start solids at 6 mos.

Both of mine had started table foods around 5 or 6 mos and were off mush by 7 mos.

Babies can have table foods from around 6 months. You can go ahead and start giving him soft foods that he can pick up and self-feed - bananas, avocado slices, cantaloupe, steamed veggies, cooked pasta, whole-wheat toast, etc. are good places to start. Once he gets the hang of eating something other than purees, he can have pretty much whatever the rest of the family is having at mealtimes. You might want to cut back on the juice, though. It should be just an occasional treat, if you're going to give it at all. Juices contain a lot of sugar, and lack the nutrients and fiber found in whole fruits and vegetables.

I start table foods around 7-8 months. Pureed food is gross, once my kids can tolerate textures and have the fine motor skills to get food in their mouth I steam everything, chop it up super tiny and let them eat.

I introduced table foods to my son when he was around 7 1/2 months old. He was completely on table foods at 10 months. Try giving him something simple and easy to pick up like cheerios or peas. He might definitely enjoy feeding himself rather than being spoonfed. And it helps you out as well. You can eat at the same time and relax a little.

I started offering table food at around 6 mths to all my girls.
Your son is perfectly old enough to have them.

Why would you feed your child tables?

You crazy ass bitch.

let the kid feed himself......he is quite capable of eating whatever you are eating

babies never need to be spoon fed puree

 

[Hello Friend]

He can have table food right now.

My daughter was also born 8-17-10 and she eats all of the following:

Scrambled eggs
Toast
Yogurt
Waffles
Small bits of cooked chicken, ground beef, ham or turkey
Cheese
Noodles or pasta
Soft steamed carrots, broccoli or cauliflower

Start with small pieces and just put it on his tray and let him have at it.

My daughter won't touch purees anymore. Except applesauce.
