Food and snacks

[Stringy]

I need more ideas for P. What are your babies eating these days. Bonuses for things that are snack like that she can have right when she wakes or on the go (kinda).

[frecklesnbrains]

Quick things we do a lot:
Cheese
Grapes
Frozen waffles
Pear slices
Yogurt

I need more ideas too though. DS is transitioning off of bottles and purées, much more interested in real food.

[pbandj714]

Also need some more ideas. L especially is wanting to transition away from purees. She's been loving mandarin oranges lately but those are clearly for high chair only.

E eats whatever we eat. She loves all fruit, especially berries which unfortunately are messy. We'll also cut up cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas, cut up bell peppers. For less healthy snacks those yogurt melt things are a huge hit, gold fish/crackers, cheese. DD1 loves pouches but DD2 is not that into them. For meals any sort of shredded/cut up meat is usually a win. Breakfast we do scrambled eggs a lot. Sometimes we'll do banana or squash pancakes or apple spinach mini muffins

[pbandjelly]

Freeze dried fruits and fig newtons are huge win over here. Also, peanut butter toast, anything dipped in guacamole or hummus, peas and carrots, chicken nuggets, salmon, soft granola bars, yogurt melts, goldfish, puffs, cheerios, steamed rice of any kind, tater tots (regular and sweet potato), pancakes, French toast, pasta, cheddar cheese

Clearly this kid loves his food as much as I do.

Bananas are his favorite. Also strawberries, all pounces, yogurt melts, yogurt, puffs, veggie chip straws, cereal,oranges, etc.

We also give him tiny bites of whatever we eat.

DS loves meat, beans, bread, veggies, cheerios, and goldfish. Harvest snap dried peas go over well too.

[bexincanada]

Berries, hummus, broccoli (I steam it then just pull off the crown, non stem bits), babybel cheese, peppers, mushrooms, these toodle-o cheerio-like things, ham, chicken. We're pretty boring, I need to mix it up.

[bexincanada]

Oh, she loves pasta too...

[frecklesnbrains]

My DH always makes lunch after I've left for work so I didn't really know what he usually made the baby. I asked him last night and he said cheese and grapes. So... my baby has been eating that every single day for like 2 months. Lol. So I'm sharing these ideas with my H, who is a doting dad but clearly lacks in creativity when it comes to food...

[greysonsmom]

She mostly eats whatever we are eating or at least what DS is eating. Hard boiled or scrambled eggs, any fruit, raisins, Cheerios, puffs, cereal bars, shredded meat, chicken or veggie quesadillas, pb&j, deli meat.

Girl pretty much eats anything.

[chriskoo]

Ground or shredded meat, broccoli, peas, any fruit, mum mums with peanut butter, eggs, toast, pancakes, cheese, shrimp. We never leave the house without a baggie of cheerios in the diaper bag.

I know shrimp sounds weird but if DH and I are eating pizza or something junky DD can't eat and I'm stuck for a protein to feed her, it only takes 5 mins to cook a couple of shrimp, we keep a big bag of them in the freezer.

[bighair12]

A eats mostly what we eat. She loves black beans, shredded chicken, any fruit or vegetable. We do pouches when we are out.

[Stringy]

Wait. Am I not supposed to feed her pizza? Cuz I do.

[frecklesnbrains]

Stringy, we pay $10/month to daycare for them to give DS pizza every Friday. He loves it!

I do too. She likes it!

[txmommy14]

We are totally dairy free (tried again this past weekend and she did awful!!) Here are some go-to foods she eats in addition to mostly eating what we eat: hard boiled eggs, blueberries, raspberries, lunch meat, veggie straws, pouches, frozen waffles (dairy free kind), and we also never leave the house without Cheerios. DS is the pickiest eater EVER, so it's fun to have a kid that actually eats what we give her, haha!

[sandandsea]

I just ordered some of the little duck fruits and veggies and fig bars. Ds is totally into food and I want him to eat more, bigger things so he learns to take bites, etc.
