What are your babies eating?

Question

What are your babies eating for meals besides breastmilk/formula?
At what age did you/will you start feeding them whatever you are eating?

Answer

My LO has a 6oz bottle at 8:00, 12:00, 4:00, and 8:00. Then for solids she has 2-3 meals a day. At 10am she has some type of fruit, then either toast w/ pb, or a bar that I've made her. (Either carrot oat bars or banana bread bars.) If I don't have any then I might give her a few Cheerios or oatmeal instead. On Mon and Tues she eats a 2nd meal at 2:00 with my nephew. She usually has cucumber and hummus, sometimes pita and hummus, and some type of fruit. For dinner at 5:00 she usually has either salmon, broccoli and quinoa, or chickpea and red lentil pasta. Sometimes she has shredded chicken, or a bit of other meat we may have, white or black beans, some other roasted vegetable, and plain yogurt w/ smashed up fruit in it. I mix up dinner depending on what she had earlier in the day. Yesterday for dinner she had a little bit of chicken, 1/2 piece of shrimp, broccoli, blueberries, and a carrot oat bar. The previous night she had pulled pork, white beans, broccoli, and watermelon. I just try to make sure she gets iron and fat at every meal.

Answer

Breakfast we do some combination of: eggs, yogurt, banana, pancakes, some sort of pouch (we like Once Upon a Farm)
Lunch usually a pouch and whatever I am eating
Dinner we give her what we are eating 
Snacks throughout the day: fruit, peanut butter puff snacks, veggies, turkey, cheese etc.

Answer

I started purées at 4 months, around 7 months he started eating the same stuff as me.

Answer

It depends on the day. She’s a bit finicky and spent more time gagging than actually getting stuff down but is getting the hang of it more and more. Most days she gets bites of what we’re eating but we still do a lot of gerber purées, it just depends on what we’re eating. If it’s too seasoned (we like lots of flavor and spice) we don’t usually give it to her. Today so far for breakfast she had her bottle then a whole bowl of oatmeal and unsweetened applesauce. For lunch she had her bottle, wanted nothing to do with the macaroni and cheese we were eating so instead had half a container of yogurt, some apple pieces (she fed more to the dog than she ate 🙄) and some puffs then was over it. For dinner we’re probably getting pizza or takeout so we will likely try Mac and cheese with her again and see what happens.

Answer

I switch things up every day. 
But for example:
Breakfast he will either have porridge or home made pancakes or scrambled egg with toast or an omelette. Every morning he will have fruit and a yogurt. 
Lunch he could have pasta or cream cheese sandwich or avocado on toast or an omelette or noodles or beans on toast. He will always have a yogurt with his lunch, sometimes some melty puffs or fruit biscuit. 
For dinner he could have jacket potato with beans and cheese or fish fingers with potatoes and veg or a sunday dinner so mash potato veg and sausage or a casserole dish.
To be honest, anything I have at home I'll make and anything I'm eating. Hes had a lot more than what I've listed I just cant think off the top of my head. I started him on baby porridge at 4 months and then mixed baby led weaning with lumpy purees at 6 months then from 7 months it's been only baby led weaning and everything that I eat.

Answer

Mine eats everything we eat. From 4 to 6 months we did homemade purees, but after that she just shared our meals.
