Yea...that is kind of a lot for an 8 month old. Jane wasn't eating foods like that until 11+ months.

yep, I know! Poor, poor baby. Tyler is 9 months and just started solids about 5-6 weeks ago....we are still doing 1st food organics, about a table spoon 2x a day. (Basically when I eat because I can't get any peace through a meal without giving him big boy food)

I can't imagine giving him all that crap!

Per superbabyfood, you can give natural cheese after 8 months.

Peanut butter is a no no before one year of age, some reccomend waiting until 2-3 years of age especially if there is a family history of allergies.

The cheese thing I have always wondered about because they say no dairy for a year, yet baby food companies make mac and cheese for 2nd foods.

I had also heard 3 years until a child is old enough to have PB, regardless of allergies.

We will delay meats for a few years because hubby is allergic to red meat to the point he can't even eat things with beef broth in it or any sort of biproducts from beef.

Baby food companies make banana and chocolate pudding labelled "suitable from four months".

I have heard mixed reports on the PB thing, but even I - and I am very liberal in what I will allow Linnea to have - won't let her near the stuff until she's at least two. At least.

The no dairy thing isn't "no dairy for a year", it's "no cow's milk for a year". The advice exists largely to prevent people feeding their infants cow's milk instead of breastmilk or formula. Most babies who *can* tolerate cow's milk, unlike mine, will be ok fed small amounts of dairy - eg milk in the mashed potato, a little cheese on the tomato sauce, that sort of thing. Many children are also fed Petit Filous, but that weirds me out, personally.

And I can't imagine deliberately feeding my baby anything that made her gag. If she says she's not ready for it, I *believe* her.

My crunchy pediatrician, who I adore, said that cheese and yogurt were okay at 8mo. If I saw any mucousy poo, then stop and wait a month or two, but it was unlikely.

He also said that 80% of babies tolerate cow's milk at 10mo, and 97% tolerate it at 12mo, so that is part of the reason they tell parents to wait, although the main reason is so they won't substitute it for breastmilk or formula. I don't see a reason to introduce cow's milk at all, personally. Why give her cow's milk when we have perfectly good people milk? I guess the only reason would be so she'll be used to it when she self weans, but that sounds stupid to me.

My 11mo dd loves cheese-it is her favorite food. Mine, too, actually. I guess she had cheese for the first time at about 9mo.

Peanut butter, though, we're going to wait on until she's older than two.

I reference this page before introducing a new food:

Dr. Sears says cheese is okay after 9 months too. I just now gave Lorelai cheese for the first time. I'm soo happy she digests it well. I couldn't live without cheese in my food! :)

That poor kid. PB is never to be given before 18mos and some say you should wait as long as 3yrs depending on allergies in the family.

And as for dairy. Yogurt is fine after 8mos and cheeses and such are fine after 9mos but straight cow's milk is a no no until after 12mos.

Actually, like someone said above, Super Baby Food and a few other places I've read say PB is 12+ months, thou 24-36 is better if there's a history of nut allergies.

I've always read the newest recommendation was 18mos but 12is still a far ways from 8mos. I don't give it until at least 2yrs though because I have a few food allergies myself.

The recommendation is if there is a history of *any* allergies at all. It is the tendency to develop allergies that is inherited, not the specific allergies to certain foods. It includes environmental allergies, btw, i.e. hayfever.

omg! That is just...amazing. The list just boggles me. I've understood yogurt and cheese to be ok from about 9 months or so. I want to say it is because the enzymes make the dairy easier to digest but I'm not sure.

Hot dogs?? PB&J???? Spaghettios???!!!

Pretty much. The dairy is much more processed in yogurt especially so you don't run into the problems that you can have with straight cows milk.

I can't believe she's giving an 8-month-old hot dogs. I don't care how you cut it - an 8-month-old should NOT be having hot dogs! Unless you puree it into a hot dog smoothie... and the thought of that just makes me want to barf.

Not to mention, think about the ingredients in most hot dogs. Would you really want to feed that to an 8mos old?

I know! Even I won't eat a hot dog unless it's all that is available and I won't have another chance to eat for over 8 hours. Hot dogs... yuck. Even the name is gross.

But seriously, how stupid can a person be to let an 8-month-old eat hot dogs? Even the tiniest piece of hot dog can become lodged in the throat and then swell. That's what hot dogs DO - they plump up! "Hey, let me shove an expanding food down my kid's throat and see what happens!"

Whenever I think of babies eating hot dogs I always get this image of feeding your baby a dry sponge and watching it expand...
