What are your babies eating lately?

[bee1916]

A also loves Mum Mums as well as bananas, puffs and yogurt melts. He's got the teeth, jaw motion and pointer finger/thumb stuff down but he's still hesitant to try more this just yet. He loves his purees still but gets impatient with the one type of puree and now prefers a mix of flavors. I can tell he's on his way to more finger foods soon.

String cheese.but I still have to help her with that.

Pasta, chicken, you could cut zucchini into spears and roast it. She's so into puffs. Strips of beef (is what I'm planning on trying tonight) . She liked Mac and cheese a lot

[sunfrogger88]

I just did some fun mixes though for puree:

Berry mix (black, blue, razz; straw)
Kiwi strawberry
Banana blueberry
Strawberry banana

She also likes French toast and pancakes and eggs. All in strips.

Pasta was a big hit here the other night. He also loves peas, green beans, strawberries, bananas, peaches, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes. He doesn't eat much meat yet, but we're getting there.

He gets school lunch at daycare. His teacher says he loves to eat and gobbles it all up.

In addition to a few of the foods mentioned here, mozzarella cheese, Cheerios softened in milk and I gave him pieces of my crab cake last night.
Not fingers food, but other ideas: mashed potatoes, cous cous.

Whatever we are eating. In small pieces. She's even eating the DC food now. We steer clear of salt and fried foods, but otherwise we just let her have it. Her fave is salmon.

Everything. Literally. I can't think of anything in our house that goes in our mouths that she has not tried besides junk food (chips, chocolate, etc). She loves all fruits so far. Not a fan of celery (in soup) but even her big sis was like that.

I use a potato peeler for veggies and she loves carrots and peppers. She's ok on cucumber and tomato, but we keep offering it because I am NOT a veggie person and want her to be less picky than I am.

Cheese, pasta, bread, any kind of meat, blueberries and eggs are her most favorites, but she's not picky by any means. Finding new, safe ways to cut up anything we are eating is like a new fun thing for me. I'm being more adventurous since doing this with DD1 so I'm more open to giving her stuff I never would have thought to give a baby. She's pretty good with her 2 little chompers, but she had no problem without them either.

For finger food veggies, we like yams, roasted squash, and peas.

[ashleymarie26]

All the stuff mentioned above, plus frozen mini pancakes. They are the perfect size and I leave them frozen, she gums them (no teeth here yet) and loves it.

Slices of cucumbers are a favorite. Toast with PB. Anything with peanut butter, actually. Yogurt. Pasta

[justbeth]

Our guy eats any and everything so far. I'd have to say avocado, watermelon and peaches are his favorite right now. He also likes puffs and we do the coconut milk yogurt melt things because he is dairy free. He likes BBQ and chicken, but I don't remember giving him any other meats yet.

[colinsfebmommy]

A lot of the above plus we had a baked ham the other day and I cut itty bitty pieces and she devoured. Kind of amusing to me.

She didn't like pasta which I was surprised at, my first born used to love it.

[schmella]

Blueberries are W's favorite. Any fruit really. They LOVED pineapple the other day. They really like to gum on slices of red pepper- I take it away when it's just skin left. Chewed on a piece of pulled pork for like 20 minutes but didn't ingest any of it. Oh and chickpeas or any beans are fun to pick up and eat.

We are eating lots of salmon here, too!

Blueberries last night were a fail because he can't chew them. We will try salmon this week next!

I had to cut a few in half and then help my girl gum a whole one. Once she popped the first one she was in love. She literally spits out everything the first few times she tries them.

[sassypantzz]

Basically cheeks is solely a meat and carb guy. I have to sneak fruits and veggies to him.

All boys love their meat and potatoes!

[fuzzylogic]

Sometimes a little of what we're eating, and sometimes her own thing:

Shredded chicken
Any pork anything I make (bacon, sausage, ham, pork chops, she loves pork lol)
Asparagus, ZUKES, squash, PEACHES, tomatoes, blueberries, avocado, green beans -- basically any veggie we're eating that isn't salad
She finally ate hard boiled egg yolk
WATERMELON
Mum Mums and puffs
Occasional bread-ish product, like a mini pancake for brinner or some toast strips
Greek yogurt

She's pretty open to new food. And food she's eaten. She just wants food.

Tonight I've got a chicken tender I saved from making my casserole. I meant to save her some pasta but forgot, so I'll give her a little of the tetrazzini. And she'll have green beans on the side like we will It's easy.

[winogirl]

Ditto - we are doing the level 2 purees (because lazy, so just buying the store organic ones)
Plus anything and everything we are eating. DH cuts it into teeny tiny pieces - I make them a little bit bigger to give him something to try chewing.

He really likes chicken and turkey. All melons are a big hit. He loves banana but it really constipates him so we've tried to minimize it.

We haven't tried steaming or cooking separate food for him to be finger foods - he doesn't seem to really get how to feed himself yet. Mum mums end up stuck to the side of his face or his hands if we let him have it on his own. Once he gets a little more coordinated there I might try some more finger food stuff to give him more practice,

[littleowl913]

So far anything he can pick up with his fingers, he will eat. He's eaten all kinds of meat. His pedi said no fish until he's a year - maybe that's an old school way of thinking? My friend's pedi said her 9 month old can eat everything.

[flyliceandcoffee]

I haven't found a food yet that this kid WON'T chow down on! He really likes veggies which I found kind of surprising. K eats almost everything we eat unless it's too salty.

We use this cookbook a lot, we haven't found a recipe in here that he won't eat and us too!
