What are your babies eating?

Question

Hi Mom's. Just wondering what your 6/7 month olds are eating for solids? And how many times a day? My daughter usually gets some mashed banana, homemade apple sauce or oat cereal for breakfast and then mashed avocado, sweet potato or puréed carrots for dinner. We haven't ventured too far yet!

Answer

I just give her a bit off whatever’s on my plate :) it works and it’s easy

Answer

we have been working our way through the first foods from Gerber. he has been dealing with RSV, and ear infections, so we tend to stop the solids while he recovers. then once he starts finishing his bottles again I start back with the last food he was working on. he is on pears yesterday, today and tomorrow. then his last food will be sweet potatoes. then we will start with some of the mixed foods. right now we just do one serving a day, but once we finish the flavors then we will start breakfast and one for dinner. we have also started to offer a sippy cup with water and tiny bit of apple juice for flavor when he eats his solids.

Answer

I started with doing lunch and dinner. fruits for lunch: pears, apples, bananas, peaches and vegetable for dinner: carrots sweet potatoes and butternut squash. we also tried green beans and peas and she hates them! this morning was the first day I introduced oatmeal for breakfast to see how she would do and she liked it mixed with a little bananas. I want to try pumpkin and avocado next! She will be 6 months tomorrow :)

Answer

I do cereal for breakfast. Rusk crackers and sometimes some fruit for lunch, she feeds herself for lunch time. Right now we are on chicken and apple purée for supper. 
Her doctor said until 9 months she only needs two meals a day but I’m doing three because I can’t eat if she’s not eating ahaha

Answer

That's great you are introducing him to so many different flavours! Are you pureeing the harder foods? Like almonds, beets, onions etc.

Answer

Our latest addition is a pear and coconut milk porridge that he loves!!! I have started introducing ingredients like egg yolk, carrot, onions, leeks, garlic, lentils, chickpeas, almonds and beetroot. He is really enjoying more adventurous flavours. He also loves sweetpotato, banana, peas, butternut, pear, avo, apple. We have not introduced meat, fish or dairy yet. He is almost 7 months now so we are exploring lots of flavours! He doesnt eat loads at a time though, maybe a tablespoon full, so we are focusing more on introducing flavours. He is still mainly breastfed and I havent needed to drop a feeding, so overall solids is nowhere near as scary as I thought!
