Often when I meet with other moms the same question always comes up "What are you feeding your baby right now?" So, I thought I'd share what I currently feed Aidan.I don't give all of these things at every meal, it's just whatever we have on hand. At this age I'm finding he really likes to feed himself, but if I'm in a hurry or to make sure he's eaten enough I'll spoon feed him some partially blended up stuff as well.
Breakfast Items: cereal - oatmeal or mixed wheat, plain yogurt, cheerios, pieces of soft fruit (bananas, pears, nectarines, strawberries, watermelon, etc.), applesauce
Lunch: scrambled egg yolks (read you are not supposed to start with the whites under they are 1 yr. old), grated cheese, cooked macaroni or other soft pasta, toast (with a tiny bit of butter), mashed or blended up chicken/beef/turkey with vegetables (sometimes I freeze this or it is left over from the night before)
Dinner: often whatever we are having, this would include cut up pieces of chicken breast, small pieces of ground beef from the spaghetti sauce or whatever, pieces of cooked ham, pieces of really soft beef, bits of soft cooked veggies (carrots, potatoes, peas, beans, etc.), pasta, rice, or if we're eating something weird or extra spicy, I take out my frozen mixture of blended meat/veggies, or give him any of the items listed under Lunch.
Snacks: Baby Mums Mums, pufffed wheat, cheerios, fruit/veggie puffs, fruit, yogurt
I also offer water, formula, or breast milk in a sippy cup with every meal. It's funny, he'll just take a swig in between bites just like we do!
Good jar food if you're in a hurry or travelling: Heinz Mom's Recipe, they have different things, mostly it's meat with a veggie and rice/pasta of some kind.
If anyone else has any food ideas for this age group I would love to hear them!
