When did you switch to majority table food?

Question

Baby girl is almost 10 months and just doesn’t really seem interested in her baby food, but is ALL ABOUT some table food. She rarely eats a 4oz tub in one sitting. I hate to think she’s not eating enough (she drinks plenty of milk; 28+oz a day). Just wondering when you switched?  What do doctors suggest?

Answer

For a couple more months, her main source of nutrition should still be milk.  Solids right now are still just for fun and experience.  Having said that, it doesn’t have to be purées and actually will be more beneficial for her to eat the same food as you(minus the salt, spicy and avoided foods for that age).

Answer

My first babe never ate baby foods/purees. It took months of trying. Finally at 9 months old, we just went with baby-led weaning and just always gave her table foods from then on. Pediatrician said it was fine to do that. So if you feel like your baby is over baby food, then I think it's fine. But take your pediatrician's word over mine.

Answer

We did table food from when we first started feeding both of our babies. So much easier and less stressful. Just make sure everything is chopped up in an age appropriate way!

Answer

We switched when my son did what you just explained, probably around the same age. He was more interested in our food than his own. He tried and liked things I didn’t think he was ready to eat, but apparently he was. If you’re still a little nervous stewed meals (crockpot) and soups were some of my son’s favorites.

Answer

The main source of nutrition for a baby under one needs to be breast milk or formula. Once they hit one table foods should become the main source with breast milk or another form of milk to supplement nutrition.
