tasting foods?

[Chel]

Jasper isn't really on solids, I will be introducing a regular meal into his routine soon, but he's only just under 5 months old, so I'm in no hurry.

BUT he's sooooooo interested in what we're eating you can help but let him lick and such your food. He's started reaching and crying for things we're eating!

My OH is driving me crazy though because he'll let Jasper try ANYTHING he wants - he's even let Jasper lick hot potato chips, steak and ice cream!

I dont know, it makes me uncomfortable.

Do others think this is okay? I'm prepared to accept that I have extremely high anxiety regarding Jaspers health (because of mild PND) so I"m prepared to let it go if its not a 'real' problem, because it is sweet watching my boys share food.... I'm just worried that he shouldn't be exposed to foods like that yet.
