SJ - Thats really interesting. I think I'll look more into it.
I think I was giving vegemite toast to the girls by about 6 months, but they were having pureed foods too.Maybe I'll put him in his walker tomorrow & put a bit of mash on the tray, just to see how he goes. I won't try finger foods til he's over 6 months though.
It sounds easier too. Instead of cooking, mashing & feeding them, he could have pretty much the same as us & feed himself - even if he doesn't eat much yet.
I'm definetely going to give it a go.
