What age do you give babies table food?

Im sure many people will tell you yes its too soon. But I am much like my mother and at 8 months old my children started sampling table foods. My kids love food:] and they arent totally picky. My sister waited and did everything by the book and my niece and nephew now eat only certain things. She hates it. She trys and trys but they refuse. Its up to you, but you need to really watch them and be careful. If you want to you should try and get the baby some of the gerber snacks the softer ones or the ones that dissolve easily. My kids still love those!

at 8 months old please don't tell me your still feeding that child baby food . you have lost 5 months and so has your child of learning to eat a large variety of foods.what ever book your using burn it and go and speak to some older women about it and they will put you on the right track.

I think we started giving my kids table food between 9 months and a year. I wouldn't start with fries though. See how your baby does with the "cookies" in the baby isle in the grocery store. Those dissolve so you don't have to worry too much and you can see how she does with that first.

There is no age bracket when to start. It all depend on the physical readiness of each kid and I tell you their development are different thou this is normal.
