Like a PP said, as soon as I can get away with it. I don't get any wow out of spoon feeding, either. I'd rather clean up the mess afterwards.

DCB is 9 months old now. When he started in June, mom started out bringing my all sort of jars of food (even though I said I am on the food program, and would provide food), and teething biscuits with this wierd non-choking net contraption. Eventually, I convinced her that I really do provide ALL the food he needs.

I fed him for a few weeks, making the vegies thicker with baby cereal so that he could get used to something heavier in his mouth. Then, I started to switch him over to table foods. Now, the only time he gets anything fed to him, it's because we are having something he just cant quite manage yet; to make sure he has all the components of the food program.
