Lunch & dinner ideas for my one year old?

Question

He is not one of those babies who was solid foods by 6 months. He was still doing purées and gradual chunkiness to it. Now he is having soft solids. He would not take well to it and my dr told me to just go with him and follow his speed so it’s been gradual. He’s loved meatballs, soft pasta and sauce, I’ve tried ground turkey and soft veggies. He loves to pick up bite size pieces and feed himself. Breakfast is very easy for me just need some new ideas for lunch and dinner, thank you!

Answer

Definitely give teether stick like foods! Babe needs to strengthen their jaw and map their mouth.

Definitely look into solid starts! They are the absolutely best resource for solids!

Answer

My son and daughter actually have both enjoyed eating whatever we’re having for dinner. We just chop/mash it up according to their preferences and where they’re at developmentally. My son liked chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and Mac and cheese for lunches

Answer

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich 
Apple sauce pouch 
Grilled cheese
Quesadilla 
Chicken or ground beef with beans and rice 
Chicken nuggets

Answer

Ribs (its soft and he can suck on the rib) with mashed potatoes  or even homemade french fries 
Corn on the cob 
Pork chops with Beets (check out solidstarts for ways to cut for a 12 month old) should be kind of shredded a bit even if you wish same with beef or even salmon 
Its so important for them to practice they’re chewing its great for the jaw something you cant accomplish only on soft foods/pureed foods so its good to start your baby somewhere and everything I’ve just named he could love if he loves meatballs and pasta girl you gotta let him explore new tastes and textures and I’m sure he’ll get used to eating what you and your husband eat every day!
