Sorry, that was supposed to be a list! Not quite sure what my phone did to it!

Not had fromage frais yet but she’s had everything else - this is DD2, who is 18 months. Most of it just in tiny bits stolen from me. DD1 hardly had any of your list until past 3.

InDubiousBattle · 05/09/2018 21:25

Ds, first baby will have been 2 ish for all of those things I think.
Dd, second baby probably had all of them (except apple juice that I'm not sure she's ever had?)by the time she was one.

My DS has all of that and he is 18 months. Just started eating cereal but had toast and yogurts since he was about 8 months

NerrSnerr · 05/09/2018 21:28

I'm answering this for my youngest who is 16 months old as I can't remember for my eldest

Jam on their toast- about 12 months he tried some of his dads and didn't like it
Apple juice- he's never tried
Fromage frais- about 8 months
Ketchup- he's never tried
Cheerios (or something similar)- he's never had Cheerios. Had weetabix/ readybrek from 6 months and Rice Krispies from about 12 months
Dried fruit- had raisins from about 10 months. Not sure he's had any others
Custard- little pots when he was 8 months (he was very underweight and it was one of the few things he'd eat)
Ready salted crisps- his sister's Pom Bears from about 11 months.

butlerswharf · 05/09/2018 21:30

One year old hasn't had any of those yet.

CloudCaptain · 05/09/2018 21:32

This is a weird list. No idea when they first tried any of those normal foods. Probably during the weaning process. Definitely after 6mo though.

Cheeseplantandpickle · 05/09/2018 21:36

All those from 3 for number one child and 2 for number two child.

welshweasel · 05/09/2018 21:37

DS is 2.5.

Jam - never
Apple juice - never
Fromage frais - about a year
Ketchup - never
Cheerios - around 18 months
Dried fruit - 9 months
Custard - 9 months
Ready salted crisps - Pom bears around 18 months

TroubledLichen · 05/09/2018 21:40

Jam on their toast - 12 months, doesn’t have it regularly though
Apple juice - never had it
Fromage frais - 6 months
Ketchup - never
Cheerios (or something similar) - never
Dried fruit - never
Custard - 10 months but she’s only had it once

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 05/09/2018 21:41

About one year for most of them. Fromage frais, 6 months.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 05/09/2018 21:42

I've never really given them dried fruit, though my 2 and 4 year olds have dried mango now and again.

NonaGray · 05/09/2018 21:44

My 14m old gets custard the odd time in nursery but has had none of the rest.

neversleepagain · 05/09/2018 21:47

Jam on toast from 12 months
Apple juice from age 2.5 and still only very rarely
Fromage frais, never and when they did taste it at 4 they didn't like it
Ketchup from age 4
Cheerios from age 2.5
Dried fruit from 8 months (mostly raisins)
Custard from 3
Salted crips from 5

Mindchilder · 05/09/2018 21:48

DC3, just under a year now.
She's had fromage frais, dried fruit and cheerios from 6 months.
She's occasionally had crisps. And maybe custard while eating Sunday roast somewhere - I don't make custard at home.
Don't think she's had ketchup, jam or juice.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 05/09/2018 21:49

My baby is 13months- has tried all except apple juice, ketchup and the crisps, all of which id like to delay as long as possible (has baby crisps). Actually hasn’t tried custard, not against that I just never have it at home- maybe with the winter setting in some crumble is on the cards

nervousseacreature · 05/09/2018 21:51

DS is 18 months -

Jam on their toast - never had
Apple juice - never had
Fromage frais - 8ish months
Ketchup - never had
Cheerios (or something similar) - 1 year (dry Cheerios, he likes when I stack them!)
Dried fruit - 1 year (only raisins)
Custard - never had
Ready salted crisps - 15 ish months, tried one of mine

countdownto40 · 05/09/2018 21:54

All of them around just before age 2.

llangennith · 05/09/2018 22:02

About 18 months for most but not dried fruit (too much sugar) and no crisps till 3yo.

stargirl1701 · 05/09/2018 22:17

After 2 years for all of those except home made custard and home made apple sauce for both DC.

Hatstand · 06/09/2018 15:35

14 mo has had raisins since around 10 mo but none of the others.

bluebunnyblue · 06/09/2018 15:38

My 19mo dd2 has had all of those - ketchup only quite recently though. Don't remember for dd1 but she would have been much older than dd2!

mindutopia · 06/09/2018 19:52

Definitely not before 2 for any of it as far as I know, though I suspect probably custard at nursery occasionally before then. Even at 5, all of that would still generally be considered a treat than a regular food. For example, she might have crisps with lunch on the weekends or jam as a treat with breakfast when we have houseguests staying.
