N ate some banana at about 6.5 months. It was half a banana with some of the peel cut away so he had a handle. After that I gave him puffs for practice before regularly giving him pieces of real food. I figure it would melt if he get it stuck in his throat but that never happened.

Puffs, mum-mums, very soft fruits like bananas starting around 7.5 months or so. By 9 months he was eating a lot of softer table foods.

Around 7 months when we noticed he wss making chewing motions with his jaws.

I think it was closer to around 9 months. Tried at about 7 and it didn't work out so well. However she didn't have any solids til 6 months so maybe that's why? I don't know, she is totally taking her time with feeding related stuff in general.. (refuses to hold her own bottle, rarely drinks from a sippy cup, etc)

A few weeks ago maybe 6.5 months. We let her eat from a soft nectarine. She LOVED it. We've moved on to chunky purées and she does really well with them.

Tried around 10 or 11 months and she didn't take to them. Then tried again just before 12 months and there was no turning back. Now she won't even eat applesauce or yogurt... just REAL food for her!!

I started off with puffs at around 7 months when he was getting really bored of purees. A little after that we gave him soft fruits and vegetables like bananas, avocado, baked sweet potatoes, steamed diced carrots. He's 9 months now and we've started giving him bits of food off of our plate if we're eating something baby appropriate.
