[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Latina and we use a lot of peppers and spices in our food. I introduced them, toned down, as soon as they started eating solids. They were eating regular strength  foods by the time they were one and a half or two. They would just eat off my plate and my plate was spicy.[/quote]

Same. 
We are Indians.  My kids did not take to the high chair and instead they liked to cruise from lap to lap as we ate our meals.  My parents were visiting us usually and they encouraged me to loosen up and let the kids cruise and try out foods from different plates (DH, mine, grandparents) - so they were usually on our laps, eating from our plate.  Most of the times, we gave them tiny portions first to see their reaction. We also mashed the foods with our fingers on our plate before feeding it to them.  Made mealtimes a wonderful (but very messy) adventure.

^^ Also, we usually had some sweetened yogurt, kheer, halwa, milk, ghee, butter at the table and if the kids found something spicy, we could easily give them  to dampen the heat.  But, by and large, my kids loved all kinds of foods and they were great eaters even as little kids.  We could actually take them to restaurants and share our food with them.  We never ordered from the kid's menu. [/quote]
