What foods are your babies eating?

Question

My son will be 8 months in a week. I’ve been feeding him the 2 oz packs of Gerber whatever - pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas. Can he eat like real food???? I feel so clueless... 
First time back on this app in a while and seeing moms feeding eggs, noodles, bread. I wish I had known this sooner!

Answer

Google Baby Led Weaning. You can feed baby almost everything you eat as long as it is prepared properly.

Answer

So far my babe's had avocado, oatmeal, blueberry, egg, quinoa, lentils, banana, broccoli, and white potato. Some of it he's seemed to like more than others but overall it's going pretty well! I'll probably be bringing some of these back soon.

Answer

Yes- you can start introducing foods you eat! My girl is almost 7mo & we’ve she’s been eating mac & cheese, real veggies, even had ground beef last week! Just have to watch close obviously & use your judgement. My daughter loves it & baby food is now far from her interest.

Answer

We tried eggs today. We ended up at the children’s hospital 😩. Luckily he’s okay though. Have to see an allergy specialist & got him an epi pen. Apparently egg allergy in children is common. Be cautious when feeding your baby eggs ☺️

Answer

Ahhh this is so exciting! Thank you ladies! My son just glares at our plates while we eat... made me feel bad giving him baby food while he watched us eat.

Answer

We started baby led Weaning with our baby at 6 months. He is 7 months and still has zero teeth :) he eats basically everything we prepare for ourselves. Things I get scared for him to choke on, I place inside a mesh or silicone feeder.
