what can I feed my 12 month old

Question

So my daughter is one and doesn't really like purée's. She mostly eats chicken, eggs, bananas, & blueberries. Aside from breastfeeding as were still doing that.

I try to make homemade everything when I can but we lead a very busy lifestyle. So sometimes I make box mac & cheese, packet taco seasoning, and canned veg. Will this stuff harm my daughter? I know added sodium is like a huge negative and I NEVER add salt to anything. If salt is already it in, then that's all we have. On nights when I make something that isn't 'fresh/homemade' I never give her any. I always nurse her first and then just give her a puree that she likes.

Answer

Once every couple of weeks, I'll whip up meatballs and healthy muffins and cheesy/veggie "tater tots" and then I chuck them in the freezer and pull them out as needed to feed the baby if I want her to have something healthier than what I'm eating. I also keep no-sugar-added fruit cups in the pantry and frozen veggies in the freezer that I can steam for her. I try to offer her some grains, protein, and a fruit/veggie with every meal. She's also a big fan of yogurt, shredded cheese, and scrambled eggs. Oh and fresh cucumbers. I'll buy a couple cucumbers at the start of the week and peal them and slice them and then cut a few slices up to offer as a snack or as part of a meal.

Answer

My sils pedestrian told her that her baby can eat anything you eat, in a safe size/mashed to prevent choking. So if you are eating mac and cheese so can baby

Answer

At one year you can start her on solid/non-puree foods... they can start it between 6 and 12 months. maybe shes just ready for some "big people" food. Purees arent for every kid.

Answer

My son eats everything. I always have lots of fruit and frozen veggies on hand for him. For protein, he loves guacamole, Roast chicken, chicken sausage, ham, and cod. He will be a year old in 2 weeks.

Answer

I gave my one year old anything  I wanted. No need to limit.

Answer

A one year old should pretty much get everything as long as it's not one of those choking hazards like grapes or hotdogs. I would actually think she's beyond the puree stage.
