Table food .. you can feed her cut up table food as long as she can sit up. (mashed potatoes, cut up cooked carrots, canned or packaged fruit like peaches -- they are soft, arrowroot cookies-- its a cookie in the baby food aisle.. Its really good, i eat them too heehee) Stay away from uncooked vegies and fruits, hotdogs, peanuts, popcorn, those are choking hazards)
You can even give her some finger foods like cheerios... It helps her develop her pincher grasps as well as learning to eat. Smile

As for milk, They normally suggest waiting till 1 year. I would recommend waiting as close to that as you can.

Hope that helps. Smile

depending on her diet. My dr. said at 9 months it was perfectly ok to do so. Talk to your dr.

Why not start with soy milk? We're humans ... not baby cows. Cows milk is appropriate for baby cows. The stomach acid created by cows milk has lead to stomach ulcers in my family.

My daughter turned 9 months on the 4rth! My little girl has been eating off the table for months now. I do give her 1 sippy cup a day of regular milk. She still gets her formula every day. I just substituted a bottle for a sippy cup of barbers milk once a day.
