[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The child will let you know when they're ready and it can be at 5mos or at 9.5 mos. Any time between 5 and 12 months is "normal".

The jarred purees industries make you believe you should feed your child that tasteless mush and then the clumpy stuff and then struggle with puffs and chicken nuggets until they're old enough to use utensils.

What OP is talking about is called BABY LED WEANING or BABY LED SOLIDS and you feed the child stuff from your plate as soon as they show interest for what you're eating - the biggest sign they're ready for solids.

Once they're reaching for your plate when you eat, you use a fork to mush up what you're eating or cut it up in small pieces to let them have it on their own. There are wonderful websites where you can learn about it. My child refused purees and I learned about it when doing some research. Our ped was useless so I had to find it on my own.

Could have written your post, OP.  Had similar experience with my DC.  Wasn't interested in solids until about 10 months.  Never wanted purees.[/quote]
