she doesnt like food from baby from jars anymore and i give her mac and cheese and really soft foods in really really tiny pieces. any other suggestions for food that will fill her tummy? im also scared to feed her some hard foods because she choked on a teething cookie a few months ago.

Get a blender and grind any regular food into a sauce. You can give the baby a wide variety that way and have some fun in the process. (or processor :) ) You can also try rice cereal for babies and other grain cereals. Make the cereal alittle thinner since the baby is so young. You make these like oatmeal or cream of wheat and it really sticks to a babies stomach.
It is stressful but I bet you will come up with something.
Good luck.

Invest in a blender or food processor. It will chop down to food into so you don't have to worry about her choking. Also when your feeding her and put the food in her mouth. Make off like your chewing so she can copy your chewing motions.
She might not be interested in jar food. However keep the baby cereal maybe one with a banana mix. She will be getting off formular soon and you want her to continue getting the zinc, iron and other minerals that every day foods don't have a high concertration.

well i would try those jello cups the sugar free ones with fruit. it depends on the child but i know in my first 2 children the baby rice/ oatmeal in a bowl with some jelly worked but make sure you use the multigrain type. my first 2 children were rather small and my newest one is 15 months and from 10 months we have fed her toddler food stage 3 stuff and some small table food. if she chokes up too much food i would be concerned with the fact that she has a issue with her throught soz cant spell and whould have her looked at my second son had a issue forget what it is but he couldnt swollow anything larger than 1/4 inch ish.

My son just turned 11 months and I give him these things that dissolve in the mouth almost instantly. They are found in the baby food aisle and come in a variety of flavors: banana, cherry, sweet potato, corn, and strawberry. There are little bite sized and easy to pick up. There is hardly any risk of choking (at least my son did excellent with them) because they dissolve so quick.

You can purchase baby foods that offer your infant new tastes and textures, or you can fork-mash, cut up, or grind whatever foods you may be serving the rest of the family. You should cook it a little longer, until it's very soft, and cut it into small pieces that your baby can handle to decrease the risk of choking.

Go to a salad bar at a grocery store and give her a variety of things. She will learn what she likes and dislikes, and you will be able to tell what her favorites are without having to spoon feed it to her. Start with the foods she enjoyed (for example - if she liked peaches and plums, cut them up into tiny cubes and put them on the high chair tray).
No more teething cookies for us, either!

try mashed potatoes, mushed up apples and bananas, pudding and yogurts should be okay but not very often, pretty much make up what shes not eating with good healthy drinks.
carrots mashed would be good too. as for meats- I wouldn't yet,
I'm sorry my nephew is almost 3 so I don't really remember at what age we started feeding him what.
gerber makes these little pasta dishes for young children, maybe look into those, try feeding the deserts from gerber.
Wish I could be more help.

Put anything you eat, except meat, into a food processor or blender. Also, Spaghetti O's are good, cause they're really mushy. Mashed potatoes and gravy. My 9 month old loves them!

soft things like maybe chunky mashed potatoes. let her try different foods and different textures. just keep an eye on her to make sure that she doesnt get choked.

At that age I was feeding my daughter just about everything we ate. Tiny peices of chicken, potatos, steamed veggies, fresh fruit (bananas, kiwis, peaches, pears) Sandwiches diced up, egg yolks, raisins, pancakes, toast. Just remember that their gums are very tough, and they will learn to chew like that.
