I agree with the comments on moderation. My DS is 11 months and I have, since the age of 6 months, been giving him solids which have begun as porridge, banana, yogurt, very small amounts of cheese etc. He wasn't much interested in solids until he was just over 8 months old, and I have to admit I have given his a chip or two here and there and it all started in China as I just didn't trust their food and so we went into Hungry Jacks. At least I knew a chip was made from potato! lol. Now DS eats pretty much what we eat, but on occasions when we have been out shopping I have given him 3 or 4 chips to chew on and a bit of the beef from my big mac on top of what I pack for his lunch. He just needs to try whatever we're having! I don't want him to grow up on fast food, but I don't see a problem with having a few chips here and there. He is still getting plenty of milk, cheese, veggies, fruit, meat etc at home.
