My 11 month old wants only table food no baby food is that ok???

that is actually very good! i started trying to get my daughter to explore table foods around 10 months and now at 14 months she is finally ignoring baby food all together. try to see if he will eat fruits and veggies too, and measure out portions for him (not because he is big, my daughter was 26lbs at 12 months) just so you can get an idea about how much he needs to eat. go to babycenter.com and look at their feeding charts. they give amounts from each food group and thats what i go by for my daughter, but i never restrict her from eating more that her recommended serving. example, she will eat baked chicken nuggets (not from a fast food place) and a serving for her should be 2 nuggets.... BUT, i give her 4 cut up into little pieces but 1 always ends up on the floor for the dogs.... just go by your baby's hunger cues and read the chart on how much milk/formula he should be drinking. I started giving my daughter water around 1 year, when i was FINALLY given permission to give her water along with her milk and it was a battle to get her to drink it. now, she is fine with it but i recommend, if you haven't already, incorporating water into his diet.

have you ever tried that baby food it tastes horrible compared to table food and once you get a taste of table food theres no going back

hes 30 pounds already honey you gotta start getting him into frits and vegetables limit the pasta, potatoes and spaghetti to portions a baby should eat

if you dont do it now he will eat you out of house and home by the time hes ten imagine how much his clothes and shoes will cost

on a more serious note there a many health problems that apply to large babies as well as adults diabetes heart problems breathing difficulities which later on you do not want to feel guilty about

give him fruits and vegetables as snacks now that way you wont have to stand over top of him later trying to make sure he eats his veggies

give him normal size 3 meals per day with all the food groups

be the parent set the limits now before its too late

I think that's okay. Obviously he is ahead of his peers in weight, so he probably needs more table food than most. I let my baby (9 mo.) eat either baby food or table food, whichever she prefers. It deopends on what we are eating. She can't eat a salad, but she can eat any softer food. Just try to make sure his meals are balanced- plenty of veggies like peas, carrots, etc.

My daughter is a year and hasn't eaten baby food in about 2 months, once she got table food she stuck her nose up at the jarred food. Just make sure its small pieces and they don't grab a handful and shove it in their mouth.

If he's eating table food, without any trouble or choking, and is digesting it alright, then I think it's fine.

Just make sure all the food is soft (chicken tender, spagetti cut up, potatoes well done etc).

YES the earlier the better wow pretty big baby one of my nephews friends weighs 30 pounds and he is 2

It is okay...Just not 2 much...Limit how much u give him.

Have u seen Maury show and he has big babies up there? If u did dont let ur baby end up like that.

Keep up being a great mommy and best of luck

I think it's fine to feed your baby tablefoods. Maybe try giving him yoghurt and fruit and veggies too.
