Thank you so much for sharing your experience of introducing solids to baby. I found it very helpful. I am amazed how similar our babies are when they were born. Good luck and glad to see you and your son are doing so great!

Sorry, I can't type Chinese at work. After reading some your posts, I found your baby girl was born weighing 8lbs 8oz at 41 weeks. I just had a son this March who was also 1 week late and weighted 8lbs 8oz. Looking at your b-day, we were born in the same year but my b-day was in Feburary. Plus, my husband is also American and we live in States right now.
I was not brave enough to have drug-free natural birth. My son was induced and I asked for epidual. Luckily, his birth was so easy, it only took 20 minutes push from 10cm dilation. And he is my first one.
Regarding the solid feeding, Since neither my family nor my husband's family had food allergy history, I started my son around 4 months old as suggested by pediatrician (some suggest around 6 month old). I think the purpose of solid feeding is not for nutrition, it is to teach infant solid eating habit. Especially from what you have described, your daughter has shown curiosity to your food and she has good head support, these are all ready signs for solid food. Since I started my son at 4 months and after testing for food allergy using Gerber stage 1 single puree food for about two months, I switched him to stage 2 food around 6 months old. Now I started introducing stage 3 food and finger food and table food since he is almost 9 month old. I'd like him to learn how to feed himself. It will be beneficial for him since he has been in daycare for a few months.
