Suggestions on what to start with for table food!?

Question

I’ve tried the teething wafers just so he can get used to biting and swallowing, I’m still a bit nervous about food food but I’ve seen babies his age eat food so I’m sure it’s fine to try.
What did you all start with?

Answer

We started with gerber puffs, frozen peas and carrots (easy to grab), banana, very soft potatoes cut into tiny pieces, butternut squash cooked soft, scrambled eggs. It’s been a couple months since we started and now she has a range of food such as ground beef, chicken, shrimp, wider range of veggies, pasta, toast with PB, etc. 
It is scary at first, but remember when they cough and are red they’re just gagging because they put too much in their mouth. 
it’s interesting to see what they like and what they don’t like. :)

Answer

I was really worried about getting him used to swallowing thicker textures and knowing he was able to before moving on much. I tried 3-4 times with avocado and kept getting so discouraged because he was constantly gagging. Come to find out, he just REALLY hates avocado 😜 We tried the same exact thing with mashed sweet potato and he eats it like a champ! 
I think tomorrow we may try carrots since I have some cooked in our beef stew 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m still new and nervous about moving onto “real” food. But trying to just remind myself it just needs to be soft and cut safely and he can try just about anything

Answer

Shredded cheese!

Answer

I did the puffs and also cheese puffs! They are easy to hold and melts in their mouth 😊
Along with eggs we also did spaghetti recently and just cut it really small and she did great with it!

Answer

We did the teething wafers too! Then the puffs. We did banana. And then tried scramble eggs and a pancake. Pretty much took off from there. Today we had a toasted PB and J. Hes had green bean casserole.  Hot dogs and mac n cheese. (And no I dont wanna hear any bashing.) 
It's scary but it's fun. 😁

Answer

We also started with the dissolvable wafers. Then tried softer fruits like avocados, peaches, and bananas. Then graduated to softer veggies broccoli (cooked and soft) scrambled eggs, mandarin oranges, etc. She’s also had green beans (as soft and tender as I can get them) and chicken (in almost like shredded slim pieces). She’s had a few pieces of toast but i made them SUPER tiny because I was nervous haha
