Question for experienced moms!

Hi. My DS is 11 months and I have been hearing that he should no longer be eating baby food from the jars. He just got his front bottom teeth and I find that he is just learning how to "chew." I was wondering when you stopped giving your kids baby food. TIA, Elyssa

My DD never did like baby food from the jars. I guess she didnt like the texture. I would spoon it in and it would come right back out. I started her on table food (little bites of what we were eating) at about 6 months. She likes to be able to chew whatever she is eating. My older boys didnt eat baby food either. None of my kids got any teeth until they were a year old so I dont think that causes a problem.
If I were you I would gradually cut back on the baby food and start giving him table food. I have heard that if they get too used to the bland baby food it is hard to get them to eat table food.
Hope that helps

Have you talked to his ped?
I also think you should use your own judgement on how he might handle it since you know him better then anyone....
