I think DS started taking cereal/oatmeal at 7 months-ish. No "real" solids til around 10 months or so. He is 16 months and still nursing 4-5 times per day.

13 months, my lo just started "eating" food.

[Treasures From Elf]

the first five, anywhere from 3 months to 9 months

this one, hoping for 12 months, though not EBF because she has had formula

9m, 6m, 11.5m, 11.5m. None of them ate much in the way of solids until around 16-18mo. I mean, don't get me wrong; they ate EVERYTHING, started on regular (non-baby) foods, and weren't picky at all. But they just ate very little of it at a time. Like a tablespoon 2-3 times a day, until 16-18m, and nursed at least 8-10 times a day as well.

I didn't mind it so much until this last baby. She's 15mo and after 11+ years of cumulative bf'ing, I'm so ready for her to a little less dependent on me for food.

I just flowed baby's cues. Dd was 5 months when I first gave her mashed up banana because she was grabbing for our food and opening her mouth anytime I held her while eating myself!

6 or 7 months for my last babe.

Instead of fortified cereal, why not give her egg yolks? They are digested much better by small children and are a lot more nutritious.
My first was EBF until 7 months. I probably won't wait that long with this guy; I have other healthy stuff to give him to try, like egg yolks, whole milk yogurt, and fish eggs.
