Bridget likes to watch, help, and sample the baby food herself. Funny kid.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how everyone else is when it comes to when and how much and what exactly to feed a baby, but I&#8217;m pretty relaxed about it. Both of my kids were given tastes of random sauces and flavors (the dip of a finger or pacifier) of all kinds of food. Both were given cereal and baby food pretty much right at 4 months, and I haven&#8217;t been very particular about the order or frequency in which I introduce foods. Its more just what&#8217;s convenient and makes sense to my odd mind. I don&#8217;t move too fast, or offer too much at first. I don&#8217;t do the honey, nuts, milk, eggs stuff&#8230; but pretty much everything else is fair game.<\/p>\n<p>And so far its worked pretty well for me.<\/p>\n<p>What do you do? When do you introduce foods??
