Meal planning?

Question

I am a first time mom and I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to give baby. I have two baby food books but I just can’t get it together. To preface I was never a meal planner for myself so not experienced with it. 
Anyway what are some things that have worked for you guys? Do you have a set day for grocery shopping? 
My little one is 8 months and has tried lots of veggie purées and fruit. Solids have been toast, eggs, shredded chicken, carrots, peas, and of course puffs. I do have some anxiety about solids. Finn has been doing just fine though.

Answer

I have anxiety with solids too!! 
I hate it sometimes 🤦🏼‍♀️
My LO is 8 months and we do a mixture of purées and BLW foods.
Morning I do oatmeal with eggs and applesauce sometimes toast. 
For a snack I do two of those crispy teethers 
For dinner we usually just give a variety of things.. some stuff is Avocados, bananas, carrots, ground beef, pinto beans (mashed) peas, mashed potatoes, shredded cheese 
I’ve been in a rut lately trying new foods so anyone with any suggestions I’m open to as well!

Answer

My boy is 9 months and completely on solid food.
I buy a batch of veggies such as pumpkin, zucchini, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, green beans, sweet potato, white potato and steam them all up super soft and keep them in the fridge and use them over 4/5 days for meals and just add shredded chicken, salmon or pulled pork.
We also do toast, avocado, eggs, shredded cheese, yoghurt.
I make soft patties too 
- ground Turkey and ricotta patties
- tuna, mashed sweet potato, baby spinach and egg
- shredded zucchini, corn, flour and egg
- ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs 
- salmon, mashed white potato and egg
Just make the patties and cook them in the over 15 minutes
I also make banana and blueberry bread 
Or I make rice or pasta dishes and just use scissors to cut it all up to smaller pieces
- spinach and ricotta pasta
- chicken and mushroom risotto
- chicken and broccoli cream cheese pasta
- veg rice shredded zucchini carrot baby spinach and pumpkin 
- beef spaghetti bolognese with shredded veggies added 
- creamy pesto pasta
I do try offer fruit often too but he literally hates every fruit I give him to the point he gags and throws up 
It is scary at first to give them whole foods, but if you start with super super soft vegetable sticks (broccoli and cauliflower and zucchini I found best) and then keep working up on foods until they get used to it.
