I haven't checked the grocery store yet, so there might be foods actually called "junior foods". What about egg yolks and mashed potatoes and mashed vegetables.... are those ok to give???|||My son has been eating egg yolk (scrambled/hard boiled) since 5 months. He loves mashed potatoes, he started those around 4 months, we tried them at Thanksgiving and he loved them.
I asked my dr. and starting him on solids and she was fine with it. He was 9.84 at birth so he's a big boy. He has been on stage 2 foods since 5 months.
My son is 8.5 months and in top percentile for height and weight. He is very healthy. We love experimenting with new food- we are careful and watch him closely as he tries new foods.
Give your daughter foods you want to give her, if you don't feel she is ready, then wait a few weeks and try it again.
My son loves the Gerber Graduate Yogurt Melts and the rest of the line of products.|||"What about egg yolks and mashed potatoes and mashed vegetables.... are those ok to give???"
For sure. Pretty much anything you eat is fine. Anything sold under the label of being a "junior food" = marketing gimmick.

Food allergy fears get some of the blame for the bland approach. For decades doctors have said the best way to prevent allergies is to limit infants to bland foods, avoiding seasonings, citrus, nuts and certain seafood.
But Butte's review found no evidence that children without family histories of food allergies benefit from this. Others suspect avoiding certain foods or eating bland diets actually could make allergies more likely. Some exposure might be a good thing.

After six months, Mrs Rapley said babies were capable of taking food into their mouths and chewing it.
Therefore, feeding them pureed food at this time could delay the development of chewing skills.
Instead, she said, they should be given milk and solid pieces of food which they could chew.
Mrs Rapley argued that babies fed pureed food had little control over how much food they ate, thus rendering them vulnerable to constipation, and running a risk that they would react by becoming fussy eaters later in life.
She blamed the food industry for convincing parents that they should give children pureed food.
She said: "Sound scientific research and government advice now agree that there is no longer any window of a baby's development in which they need something more than milk and less than solids."
