What is your baby eating (finger foods/solids)?

Question

My little man hates textures and finger foods are a struggle!! He only likes smooth purées / mash.
He does eat puffy “chips” (don’t know what to call them), rice crackers, banana biscotti biscuits and peanut butter toast but that’s it! I’ve had no luck with fruit, veg, pasta etc. 
What are your bubs eating? Have you faced any struggles.. if so, how did you encourage finger foods / what finger foods?
Thank you mummies!!!! x

Answer

I’m the opposite my bubs loves to feed herself. Won’t touch puree and gets fed up with mashed food unless you just give her the bowl. Her fav finger foods are scrambled egg, banana, blueberries, peas, French toast, rice cakes with hommus or avocado.

Answer

Anything and everything. I have not found one thing this kid will not pig out on yet. 
But I have the opposite problem with him. We never did purees, but anything I have to spoon feed or fork feed him (oatmeal, yogurt, etc) is a struggle because he only wants to eat what he can pick up and feed himself.
I mostly do raw fruits and veggies during the day for snacks. I bought some refillable squeeze tubes that he eats his yogurt out of. For dinner, he eats what I cook unless it is spicy or contains honey.

Answer

Fruit/veggie that he eates: banana, watermelon (little slices) and sweet potatoes cut like fries 😄 but lately he prefers his fruit mixed like a purée/smoothie... we also give him bread (sliced in pieces), puffs and rice crackers like you. But it doesn’t work every time 🤷‍♀️

Answer

My son likes everything. He didn’t like the peach and chicken jarred baby food. Last night I got him a kids meal at McAllister’s. He ate a whole grilled cheese sandwich, half an apple sauce cup-which I spoon fed him, diced tomatoes, part of a pickle, ham and turkey.

Answer

We did BLW from just before 6 months so my son eats everything! Just keep trying, and be consistent and yours will come around!

Answer

My son is the same!! He loves yogurt, the veggie or fruit pouches, oatmeal, and the puff cereal. We tried scrambled eggs and he threw them lol. I have tried soft small pieces of fruit like watermelon and he gags. He will take small bites of banana though! Small steps lol.

Answer

My baby is just now starting to be able to chew and swallow finger foods. She’s still super picky about what she’ll actually eat though. She loves all purées. All babies are different. Just keep offering but try not to be too forceful about it.

Answer

Blueberries (cut in half or quarters), peas, peas and carrot mixture, shredded cheese, Cheerios (soggy from milk or hard) puffs, yogurt melts, chicken, pork meat balls, strawberries, pasta shells, sweet potato, butternut squash (comes frozen and cubed and I just boil), banana (give her half to bite at) apple, chick peas (squished), black beans (cut)
Really starting to eat most foods off our plate just cut up 
We still use purées with oatmeal mixed in to thicken after she has had finger foods at dinner if she eat enough

Answer

My son is 10.5 months old and eats like a fruit bat. 😂 Obsessed with every fruit and vegetable he’s encountered, not a massive fan of meat. 
I love Feeding Littles on Instagram as a resource. They have awesome tips on infant self feeding. 
Jack’s favorite foods are chicken quesadilla (I hide meat in cheese), all fresh fruit, boiled carrot sticks, all pasta with red sauce, and roasted sweet potato fries.
