Baby-friendly Table Food Suggestions
Posted: 04-15-07 11:03am

Along with breastfeeding, we've been
feeding .alyvia cereal mixed with a bit of
stage 1 foods. But while we were on
vacation, we decided to try feeding her a
bit of table food. She's never liked her
stage 1's but has always shown an interest
in what we eat. I'd like to make a list of
the foods we've tried (and if she's liked
them) and see if you girls have more
suggestions! She's 8 months old.
(all of the below have been offered in
small bites and she's been supervised the
whole time - along with lots of water in
a sippy cup every 2-3 bites)
Rice (loves!)
Lettuce/cabbage (likes)
cheese (loves!)
tomatoes (loves!)
skinless grapes (loves!)
sucking on sweet and sour pickles
(loves!)
soft pieces of crustless bread (loves!)
frosted blueberry poptarts (don't ask, it
was a one-time freak thing... and she
loves them  )
there's more, but I can't think of it.
I'll add to this list when I remember.
We've also bought a few jars of stage 2
foods that we're going to try today.

trace absolutely refuses baby food and
loves table food. there is no need for
baby food. fresh table food is much
healthier.
here are some things he eats:
chucks of sweet potato
rice bread
wheat/gluten free pancakes
broccoli
apple
pear
banana
avocado (its a super health food too!)
green beans
smoothies with blueberry and bananas/ and
rice milk

I can't think of any little one that don't
love spaghettio's. It'll be a mess. So
make sure your camera is nearby.

Oni *loooves* spaghetti-o's! But make sure
any canned food you get is sodium free. Or
low sodium.
Be careful with bread. It's the only thing
.oni chokes on. She's a heffer though and
sticks the entire piece in her mouth.
Toast is another *great* idea.
Oni eats everything. And at 8 months, ate
more table food than baby food.

Adriana loves rice too! Have you tried
applesauce, mashed potatoes,
soup....basically anything you can mash up
for her will be better than baby food.
Natalie said .trace loves avacado, that's
very easy to squish...adriana also loves
those. As long as it's something she can't
choke on, she can have it! well, within
reason...i.e, no candies or junk like
that, which obviously you know about
.aly is growing up too fast!!
Oh and for the record, my daughter hates
speghetti-0's......she ate them once, and
we made a huge mess. I've tried off and on
with them, but she won't eat them.

ewww... spaghettios smell like vomit! for
that reason, finn will never even know
what they are.
we're obviously not there yet, but what
about mushy mac and cheese or ravioli?
aly is such a big girl! this makes me
excited about giving finn table food but i
don't think he's ready yet.

Yeah, I thought all kids like them
too.....even tho I don't (but I'm not a
little kid either!)
If .aly liked carrots in a jar (babyfood)
then I bet she'd really like cooked,
mashed carrots (or am I thinking of
another baby that likes carrots?  )
But yeah, like .bridget said, mushy
noodles are good and easy for little ones
to smoosh with their gums. There's lots of
possibilities! Just get ready for some fun
diapers to change! LOL

Ooh yay pasta! My nephew *loves* anything
like that. He'll eat loads now, he had
some roast lamb and mashed potato with
broccoli and gravy tonight.. basically
what we all had but mashed up. He eats
like a little horse.
What's angelhair by the way? Is that like
thin spaghetti? Sorry if that sounds
dumb.. I've just never heard of it over
here!

Angel hair is thinner than thin spaghetti!
It's super light and really yummy. It's my
favorite kind of pasta.

I really like fresh sweet potato cut up
and cooked in the oven with a bit of
butter/margarine and 1/4 cup of orange
juice. You cook it until it's tender
(mushable for baby). It's really good.
My girl always loved it like that.

i to this day hate spaghettios, i tired em
with joseph he hated em lcky for me.
He loves apples, bananas, grapes, he tends
to try and steal grapes out the fridge
everytime i open it . he loves green beans
too, peas is one thing he hasnt liked but
jordynne had sweet peas baby food and ate
the whole jar so shes different.
sometimes i get the fruit cups too with
the mixed fruits, sometimes fresh fruits
not available here , some fruits we dont
even get so it sucks. i get excited when
we have strawberries hehe. joseph pretty
much eats anything and everything except
peas.
i used to make him scrambled eggs for
breakfast but he loves the bacon more then
the eggs.
i think tonight ima make speghetti i use
the swirly noodles so its easier for
joseph to not make a giant mess with .
that kid will eat a chicken drumstick to
just the bone lol and he dont turn 2 until
august but he has all his teeth already. i
guess im glad i dont have a picky one lol.
