If they bring the baby they will most likely bring their own baby food. You don't need to set a place at the table unless you have a high chair or booster seat for the baby to sit in. One parent or the other will probably just hold the baby in their lap, or they'll let it play on the floor while you eat.

If your friends have a 7 month old baby I'm sure they will bring food for him/her when coming to your house. Most babies that age are still drinking formula or milk and just getting started with eating solids for meals. I wouldn't bother putting a setting out, maybe if they bring a portable high chair you can clear a space on the table so he/she can be pulled up to it.

With a baby that age, I would be bringing my own food for baby (if any.....it's possible that a 7 mos old isn't even eating solids yet). As the host, you have no way of knowing what foods baby has been introduced to yet. Leave it to mom.

I wouldn't worry about it. At 7 months old, the baby can play on the floor while you eat, or the parents might have a travel highchair they will bring. Anyways, It is the parent's responsibility.
My daughter is 8 months old and when we go out to eat I bring a portable highchair and apporate foods for her.

Don't make a setting for him. At 7 mos., I'm sure the parents are still toting around all his meals with them. You could get some applesauce and graham crackers just in case.

If the couple brings their baby they will be prepared with the essentials. Food, baby spoon etc. Just focus on the couple.

i wouldn't. a baby that age might eat regular food, or might still only be on formula or breast milk. this will be up to the parents, and they will think of it ahead of time and bring their own. it is very nice of you to think of their baby, though. maybe you can show you're thinking of the baby by having your living room baby-proofed. (remove anything a crawler can knock over, break, or get hurt on)

When my son was that age, I typically brought his food for him. They'll most likely hold him or keep him in his carseat to feed him. I would offer when they get there to make a place for him at the table, but I wouldn't think it should be expected.

Why don't you just phone them and ask them if they are bringing him? If they are, ask them if there is anything you can provide to make it easier for them. If they do bring him, they probably wouldn't expect you to have any food prepared for him. It might not even be his meal time, and they would bring along anything he needed.

lol not like a plate and fork and stuff but if the do bring the baby parents usually bring their own food for baby. so call them and ask if they want you to make somethin for him/her. usually like yogurt or applesauce is fine.
