DD was 9 months before we noticed food going in, and 12 months before she ate a 'decent' amount. DS started at 6 months but puked most of it, so we went slow for awhile, but he was 8 months or so before he started taking much in. Similarly probably around 11 or 12 months before he ate a meal. Now, they love food and some days eat more than DH and i.
