Answer by Chase’s Mama
6 months for everything but the finger foods which I started at 9 months.
What do you think? Answer below!


4 months and older on the mashed, cereal and purees and finger foods after they had enough teeth and were toddling around about 10 months.
Baby puree-4 months
Mashed foods-5 months
Baby cereal-3 1/2 months
Finger foods-6 1/2 months
5 months
5 1/2 months for cereal and pureed baby foods.
7-8 months for mashed and finger foods.
I started the cereal at four months, the purees at 6 months…Mashed potatoes, and other mashed foods around 7 months, and the finger foods at the end of the 8th month.
Straight out of the womb. There, is that better?
Seriously? Six months. That’s by recommendation of the World Health Organization. My grandmother fed her kids pureed food mixed with formula from 3 months. Personally, seeing that my mother and her siblings now have gluten, peanut and dairy allergies, I preferred to go with the experts on this one.
A week shy of 6 months for regular table foods (mashed with a fork or given in chunks). Never for purees or baby cereal.
6 months for everything except the cereal. We skipped that.
Baby food 3 months
Mashed Potatoes -4 months
Baby cereal- 4 weeks
Finger Foods-7 months
