When did food become more than just a novelty or toy to your baby?

Question

If at all possible, I'd like to hear from baby led weaning moms also. We didn't start solids until about 6 months.. he is 7 months and could care less about them. No, I'm not worried, just curious what your experiences are.

Answer 1

by 10mths old. my son loves food, always has, so he's never had many qualms about stuffing his face with his meal lol..provided he likes the food, which for the most part isn't a problem.

Answer 2

We did baby-led weaning, starting around six months. Everything was eagerly jammed into the mouth from the get-go, but it wasn't until maybe eight months that really noticeable quantities were eaten -- most of the broccoli rather than just nibbles of the leaves, etcetera.
