What's your little one eating??

[tiredbuthappy]

I thought DD wasn't interested in solids. Turns out she's not interested in runny purees. I think she's going to be picky! She'll eat peas if mixed with VERY thick oatmeal- almost thick enough to cut with a spoon. Refuses all fruit purees (probably because we've been forcing fruity meds on her all her life!). LOVES avocado- it's her favorite food. She was willing to eat a little bit of fresh banana, and might take 1 or 2 little pieces of fresh peas or carrots. I need ideas on things to offer her. She'll be 8 months next week. If I recall, she's not supposed to have cheese yet. What's your little one eating? I need ideas... She has no teeth and LOVES to eat. Should I just keep offering peas and oatmeal? Everyday I try other things but she gets mad at me, so I go back to peas and oatmeal or avocado. She actually yells at me. Her first word is "num-num." It's hilarious. If she's hungry she smacks her lips and says it. If I don't feed her fast enough she yells num-num.

haha, dont feel bad. Taylor only usually eats about 1 2nd foods jar a day plus about 20 ozs of formula on a good day:~) Only after I know she wont take anymore food do I give her the goldfish crackers and other things like that:~)

Cooper eats 3-4 jars of baby food a day (plus about 32 oz formula).  Pears are his favorite, but I haven't found anything he WON"T eat, except avocado.
He loves pears, applesauce, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, mango...

Cooper also has NO teeth yet, so I have been wondering about table foods, too.  So far, I have given him tiny tiny pieces of diced pears; mashed potatoes; itty bitty bites of pancakes.  I was thinking about trying scrambled eggs??  I know they're not recommended yet, but we have NO allergies on either side of the family, so I feel quite safe with that.

WoW, your babies are eating good! Alex only eats solids for dinner(a jar of "2nd Foods"... He just eats the Beechnut stuff... I've tried giving him the "yogurt melts" and stuff like that but he just plays with it... He's never interested in eating solids early in the day either....hmmmm? Anyway, it could be because he has been fighting an ear infection since early February and just had tubes put in last Friday to drain the fluid that refused to go away... poor guy...

Cruz is very picky too! I thought he hated solids as well but it looks like I was feeding the "right ones"! He LOVES Oatmeal and applesauce mixed together. He will eat a full bowl of that in one sitting. I measured it out and it equaled to, two stage 2 jars! I was shocked. I just keep playing around with the Gerber foods and making a list of the ones he likes! He loves the fruits and sweet potatoes with corn!

The only other he is taking is the Gerber Puffs, he still sometimes chokes on them so I am way to afraid to try cheerios. He gets them stuck on the back of his tongue and he freaks....and so do I!

Thankfully he started eating better, but it is still sometimes a fight! He has a new tooth coming in and the top and it is driving all of us crazy!

they do say no cheese untill 1 year if there is allergies to dairy in the family. Now on DH's side of the family they are allergic to EVERYTHING. So I have stayed away from cheese, milk products, fish, nuts and eggs. Taylor can basicly eat whatever. She has been sick latelt (tummy bug, I think  ) and hasnt been eating as well:~( But she loves goldfish crackers, and those wagon wheel things from gerber. She isnt a fan or fruit though, I find that strange, lol. Anything orange is her favorite..............sweet potatoes, carrots, mixed veggies:~)
Btw- all my kids loved mac and cheese. We didnt offer it untill closer to a year but if cheese insnt an issue then I would say go for it:~)

I also give Joel cheese.  He is 8 months old.  He eats cheerios, bananas, goldfish crackers, salmon, peas, cottage cheese, pears, apples, chicken, and graham crackers.  I try to give him things that we are eating.  He loves to eat and only has his front teeth.

when did you start cheese? I get mixed info on when it's OK to start.

Lochy is 8 months and eat everything! I give him the chunky baby food as well as small pieces of table food. He eats cheese, yogurt and egg whites as well as meats, fruits, veggies. =D
He definitely is not a picky eater.. if he can get it in his mouth he eats it LoL!
