They say 7-8 months for stage 2. Check with your baby's doctor to be on the safe side. pediatrics.about.com/ od/ weeklyquestion/ a/ 04_baby_food.htm

The usual guideline is when they are sitting unassisted. Stage 3 when they are crawling.

You can whenever you feel comfortable. stage 2 is mostly the same thing, though they are mixed and just slightly thicker on some of them. other than that nothing is different. if there is a food in one mixed food that your baby hasn't had treat that as the new food. but check with your dr if you are too worried

It just depends on your baby. If your baby is sitting up, stage 2 is fine. We gave my son stage 2 from the start at 5 months, because he was already sitting up.

I started giving my 15 month old stage two foods when he was about 5 months and i think it would be perfectly fine if you start giving it to your baby now. i dont see a problem.
