Would love my little one to start eating what the rest of the family eats. What is a normal age?

For me around 6 months.
Even at 4 months I was giving both bubs a taste. I would mash everything finely with a fork and they loved all of the different flavours they got to experience.

6 months!! Look up baby led weaning, such an amazing concept! I wish id stuck to it with my first, maybe he wouldnt be so fussy!

I began to give family meals a little at around about 7 months. Solids began at 6 months.

From the time my kids started to eat solids I gave them the same as what we were eating I just modified it a little so it was easier for them to eat. I used the same vegies we were having just mashed them together. Pasta was always something they had usually penne or shells or any shapes that looked fun.

My son started to eat family foods around 8mo we just left out any salt and puréed/mashed his foods but we didn’t do baby led weaning so I suppose that might make a difference

As soon as my son started on solids he has had food that the family has.

From before 6 months of age. I gave her safe versions of what we were eating, but mostly in finger food form rather than pureed. She much prefers to feed herself than accept anything on a spoon from us!

I have started since both our kids hit 6 months. I just blend everything together. Add a little milk or formula to make it a little runnier when they were just starting to eat it and once they got the gist of eating food I would slowly reduce the wetness of the puree. We are now having dinner at the same time at the dinner table. Such a lovely thing to enjoy 🙂 Good Luck.

My daughter started eating many of the same foods as us by 12 months, and by about 18 months there were no special meals prepared.

If the little is following you cutery when you eating. Then you start baby cereal form the supermarket
