My youngest at 7 months was eating some stage 3 but mostly the Gerber graduates meals and whatever we were eating (with-in reason). If your child is tired of the stage 2 offer her stage 3. When my youngest was 7 months she had 2 older siblings. She would see them eating soup, pasta and wanted that. If your child shows intrest in the foods you are eating then I would try the stage 3. Or just give her what you have. with-in reason that is No peanuts, peanut butter, or fish. But if you are eating pasta with sauce try giving her some pasta with butter and a bit of cheese. if you have green beans try giving her some (cook them till they are almost mushy)

If you child can mash food with her gums then its not to early. My friend started her baby at 5 months on stage 3 he had 3 teeth! My son is 8 months and has been on stage 3 for about a month and has progressed into Graduates {the stage past stage 3} he also eats some table foods with us and finger foods like : goldfish, gerber fruits and veggie puffs, and whole wheat graham crackers

Your seven month old can be eating stage three food no problem if he can handle the thickness or chunkiness. Some stage three food are just the same thing in a bigger serving, like the sweet potatoes and applesauce. Some of it is pretty thick and chunky, though, like the dinners. If he doesn't gag and can mash it up with his gums and swallow it, he's ready.

Follow your child's lead on foods- if she seems ready for stage three safely, then go for it. When I was a kid, my mom said the La Leche League recommended never giving kids baby food at all, but to just get them eating what you eat right away. As long as your child can chew/smash and swallow the food without risk of choking, things should be fine.
I do recommend leaning heavily towards veggies, proteins, dairy, and lastly fruit. Many young babies get attached to the sweet foods and it gets harder to break them of that as they get more stubborn as they get older. Also, stay away from processed foods as long as you can, as the chemicals can be hard on their developing brains.
