about 8 months I think, he mentioned it at that visit

I was just reading in Toddler 411 that by 12 months babies should be on the family's schedule for eating (3 meals, 2 snacks) and having "table" food. I don't know when to start to introduce it, though.

I know a lot of people introduce it earlier than we did. I thought I was late on getting him on more solids, but when I just took him for his 1 year checkup, my doctor said he really just starts with the solids around a year. SO I felt better! He said to just be patient.
