If he has been eating stage 1 for quite a while and does really well with it, then he is probably ready to have stage 2. I THINK (it is hard to remember) that I started cheerios and Gerber puffs around 8 months of age. I started with small broken pieces to see how they would do with those first. A baby who sits up well and can pick up small pieces of food will normally do okay with these type foods. The wholesomebabyfood website offers a chart with foods that are safe to introduce. I always used that as a guide. The site also has tons of recipes. My children liked the &quot;fried bananas&quot;. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/2037.aspxFri, 06 Mar 2009 04:46:53 GMTacc0266e-1ded-4c2f-a019-bb85b48eedc2:2037Squeekers830http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/2037.aspxhttp://similac.com/community/boards/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&PostID=2037<p>I have a 7 month old baby boy who is eating baby food and formula, but I am wanting to know when a good time to start giving him crackers, or cheerios, or things of that sort.&nbsp;&nbsp; What is a good first food?&nbsp;&nbsp; And when to move up from Gerber 1st&nbsp;stage pureed baby food&nbsp;to 2nd stage, and 3rd?&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#39;m scared he&#39;ll choke, but I know he&#39;s eventually got to go to solids.&nbsp; Thanks so much for the help.&nbsp; </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
