What age do you start giving your child some big people food? And how often.

they say 6-9 for our kinda food and baby food at 4-6

@abw711, what did you give them?

look into baby led weaning if you haven't already

Aubrey tastes our food now if we are eating veggies or fruits or something she can eat. Our ped said it was ok if she was interested in grabbing for it. She loves baked potatoes and mango 😉

@ella1007, oh I do that all the time lol I didn't know if you give them like spoonfuls as a meal other than baby food

I do if she wants it and likes it

@ella1007, okay I was wondering because she isn't big on a lot of baby foods but she loves the stuff I eat lol I'm definitely going too try mangos

That's why I've been making Aubrey's food. She doesn't like the store baby food very much. Look up baby led weaning. I'm pretty much doing that

@Ella1007, I did and maybe I'm slow but I don't understand lol

Basically you let them eat what you are eating if they show interest. Aubrey ate spaghetti tonight and loved it

@ella1007, even without teeth?

Yep Aubrey either spits it out or manages to gum it lol. I'm still a little nervous about it but she's loving real food and finally gaining weight

@Ella1007, yeah I'm nervous but she is always wanting what I'm eating lol

My mom gives her stuff and freaks me out lol

When they're interested in what your eating it's usually a big sign they're ready. Honestly if you feel she's ready try it out and start with super small bites until you know what she can handle!

@ella1007, oh no no I couldn't do that 😫 I always feel better if I do it lol

@jaxmama, ahh the excitement is real lol
