Are parents too slow at introducing solids to 11 m.o. old

[Momof4]

I've been lucky that all the babies who have started with me but one have been on table food at age 11-12 months. I'm definitely careful about foods that may cause allergic reactions and if I were you I would ask the parents if it's ok for you to start to give their child about a teaspoon full of certain foods in very small chunks to help them out with introducing table food. But sometimes parents appreciate our help and a little nudge in the right direction. It seems that a lot of parents really want their babies to remain babies and have a difficult time thinking that they are growing up.
