What to eat?

Question

I am having a really hard time coming up with meal ideas for my almost 10 month old. I made my own pureed food for her in the beginning, but she needs somethibg with more substance. I want to do BLW but my paranoia won't allow me. Even when I cut up food in tiny pieces I'm constantly hovering over her as she eats. Any ideas would be so helpful!! What do your babies meals/ feeding schedules consist of?

Answer

Not what u asked but I did a baby/child first aid course which altho didn’t take it away, it helped my anxiety around giving finger foods. Maybe worth u considering to help u feel more comfortable with it

Answer

By 10m our kids ready whatever we're having. I got a food processor with my first so the food was chopped up really small, but I think they actually did better and choked less when the food was big enough that they had up take bites instead of trying to swallow it whole.

Answer

Check out SolidStarts on Instagram or their website. Tons of great information vetted by pediatricians and nutritionists. 
They’re blw but also post lots of recipes and snack ideas.

Answer

We fed her what we were having at that point. Her favorite was any sort of meat.

Answer

We did mixed blw and purees, now it's mostly table food and purees when he's fussy and teething. He loves chicken, beef, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, cheese, and toast. So we'll have one of those each meal along with new food or food he doesn't like as much. Anything mushy or cut into the pinky size is good! I usually do fruit and oatmeal or toast for breakfast, lunch meat, cheese or yogurt, and veggie puree for lunch, then whatever I'm cooking for dinner.

Answer

The beginning of introducing solids is such a challenge because of the anxiety. Once you learn the difference between gagging and choking, you'll ease up. Gagging is perfectly normal and strengthens their gag reflex where choking is an emergency.
I did pureed for 2 weeks and went onto baby led weaning. Unfortunately our son has multiple allergies so he can't eat everything we eat. I follow the healthy food pyramid to ensure he's getting variety of foods and textures. I chop things into slices and let him work away. He gags, sorts it out, and continues. Look up baby led weaning on the instagram page someone provided above. There's tons of online resources and support for it. Take it slowly, there's no race

Answer

I used to cook risotto with baby formula. I'd mix it with sauce you get from the baby section at the supermarket. I'd also make some and mix it with puree apple. My son loved it! I'm with you on the blw, it's terrifying 😆.

Answer

We've been doing a mix of purees and blw and it's been fine so far! We also do the puff snacks. What do you mean by more substance?

Answer

Yeah...she eats what we eat.
