When Can My Baby Start Eating That?

I have been doing some research on baby food recently, which is why there will be several food-related blogs coming up. I got a little frustrated that different books I looked at had different suggestions of when babies can start eating certain foods, so I decided to make a chart. On the left is a list of about 75 foods, in alphabetical order. On the top are sources 1-5 of different books. The numbers for each source are the age, in months, that they suggest for babies to begin eating that food.
The chart gives you a good idea of what foods are agreed upon across the board (honey, cow's milk) and what foods have differing opinions of when to start (apples, apricots). To be safe, you can start your baby on the food when he or she is the oldest age for it (for example, 8 months old for apricots). If it says "or", it means that the book suggested one age in one place, and another age in a different place!
