What solids does your baby eat and how many times a day?

Question

My girl is doing a mix between BLW and spoon fed but we are stuck in a food rut. I feel like I need more variety and I honestly just feel like I’m winging it most days with this honestly lol. Tips/ideas appreciated!

Answer

Bananas, avocados, sweet potato, potatoes, sweet peas, chicken (sometimes), soft white rice, carrots mixed in potatoes. I also buy happy baby baby food and sometimes mix it in regular solid food. To avoid constipation I give him prune baby food every other day. 
I also feed him what I’m eating. He wants to try whatever I’m eating lol
He’s 8 months and is breastfed about every 3 hours or whenever he wants 🥴
For example 
9amBreakfast: banana mixed with happy baby banana/peanut butter pouch
1pmLunch: avocados and/or happy baby food 
5pm Dinner: potatoes with very light salt and butter and chicken or sweet peas
I don’t feed him solids after 6pm
Bedtime is at 9pm

Answer

We do three meals a day.
Breakfast is usually oats or weetbix and fruit. Sometimes eggs and toast.
Lunch and dinner is a mix between veggies and meat or rice or pasta dishes. I buy a roast chicken and my boy loves to eat it. (Blw style for meat and veg). I usually make up a heap of veg on a Monday and then leave it in a container in the fridge and just use through the week. Mostly do pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, white potato, zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower. Soemtimes I do a potato mash with peas or beans. And avocado he loves.
Meat we do shredded pork, roast chicken, salmon, I made tuna patties the other day.
I also make up rice or pasta dishes and freeze them in little containers. Some meals I cook are-
- spaghetti, minced beef, tinned tomatos, pumpkin mashed into sauce, grated carrot and zucchini and baby spinach. 
- chicken, rice, onion, garlic, grated carrot and zucchini, corn and white cheese sauce.
- pasta, spinach and ricotta, milk, pumpkin. 
- minced lamb, tinned tomatoes, sweet potato mashed into sauce, carrot, peas and cous cous. 
Sometimes if he doesn’t eat much I’ll give him some yoghurt afterwards to fill him up. 
With all his pasta and rice dishes I usually get scissors and cut it all up for it’s chunky but small enough pieces for him to eat. 
I’ve honestly been cooking him foods we eat as long as it’s all whole ingredients (no added salt or sugar) and cutting it up for him.
