Food?

Question

So i’m transitioning my 8 month old to regular food from purées. What are some things that you give your little ones? Thank you!

Answer

Breakfast: puffs, Cheerios, something simple like that ..
Lunch: fruits (cut up strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges, peaches)
Dinner: either what we’re eating or a vegetable (carrots, peas, zucchini). She’s eaten chicken and sausage with us too I just break it in very small pieces. 
These little canned fruits/veggies are perfect! My little one decided to refuse purées around 7 months so I was forced to figure out how to feed her solids ha! She’s still getting used to picking it up herself but we’re getting there.

Answer

Just example from today and yesterday
Breakfast-  
porridge finger (basically oatmeal baked in a pan and cut and into freezer for easy meal!  Has oats, milk, Greek yogurt, pb and banana) part of a banana that I shared with her 
Almond butter and toast, berries smushed up
Lunch-
Shredded chicken, berries in Greek yogurt, cubed squash from frozen
Scrambled egg, some pieces of fruit, tiny piece of sausage, few multigrain cereal O’s. (We were out for brunch)
Supper-
Quinoa and beef meatball (quick recipe made and put into freezer last week) peas from frozen, pieces of avocado I had leftover in fridge 
Leftover shredded chicken, Greek yogurt and blueberries smushed up in it 
I found it soooo overwhelming at first having to get something figured out to feed her but once you get used to it it’s so much less intimidating lol

Answer

Your LO can eat anything you eat. No need to prepare a special meal. Look up Baby Led Weaning for the right size pieces. Remember, no honey until LO is 2 and very little salt.

Answer

My son eats everything. He loves pasta, chicken, all kinds of fruits and veg, eggs, pancakes. Try giving them some of what you are eating. Mine gets excited when he sees we are eating the same thing and wants to eat off my plate instead of his lol
