Like the PP, Miss E was eating pretty much whatever we ate by 7-8 months. we started BLS at 6 months, and would just put some of the vegies on her tray of her high chair while we ate - one thing at a time, and let her gum at it to her hearts content. after a couple of weeks we were putting a few things, but 7 months she was eating spag bol with chilli in it if that's what we were eating.

we didn't really give her bones or things until later - not because she couldn't handle it, but because we tend to not buy meat with bones in it all that often! plus, she isn't really much of a meat eater and never has been. last night she ate a full ear of corn, coleslaw, potato salad, potato, and a sausage - the sausage was only cos she was still hungry and there was no corn left on any of our plates lol
