Ideas on what I can feed my baby...........?

Question

He is almost 10 months old now. He is breastfeeding, eating jar baby food and baby oatmeal/rice cereal. I have been trying to introduce new "table" foods to him, like ritz crackers, really cooked pasta, really cooked broccoli/cauliflower. What are other ideas. I need a lot of them. Thank you :)

Answer 1

Cooked and mashed sweet potato, banana mashed or cut into small pieces, canned fruits such as pears, peaches, and apricots either mashed or cut into tiny pieces, cooked carrots, cooked green beans either fresh or frozen or use unsalted canned (they are soft enough to mash or cut into little pieces), mashed avocado, canned vegetable soup with alphabet letters (no broth, mash with a fork), yogurt, soft cheeses, dry toast, pieces of pancake (no syrup needed), homemade or jarred applesauce, Cheerios, graham crackers, mashed potatoes, and kiwi fruit are just some of the things that come to my mind. Added: An above answerer suggested raisins, your little guy is too young for raisins so don't give him those as they are a choking hazard. Since raisins are dried, when they go into the mouth and throat, they begin to swell. I always wait until at least age 2 for dried fruit.

Answer 2

Dry cereals are great. Just make sure you get one with a low sugar content.

You could try bananas, peaches, and other soft fruits. I'd be careful with the broccoli/cauliflower, since both can cause serious gas. Diced tomatoes, green beans, and potatoes would be good vegetables to start with.

Most any plain cracker would be a good choice. Kids love cheese slices, too.

Basically anything that they can eat with their fingers is a good idea. Don't be discouraged if he rejects something the first time. A baby's taste buds are constantly changing, and a week later he may decide he likes it.

Answer 3

You could try to give him cooked beans, rice, or cooked carrots. Even sweet potatoes or cooked shredded chicken. My youngest had the same problem, but little by little give them something different. It also depends on how many teeth he has, if he does not have any teeth in the back try to avoid giving him hard items. Try to avoid giving him more then one item every two to three days, because you want to watch if there is any reaction to the new foods that are being introduced. You could even try toast. I know doctors say to avoid giving them whole milk, until after a year. I was also discouraged so I gave my youngest yogurt, but just a little and watched her carefully. She did fine and she really liked it. Try not to breastfeed as much, your son is probably already satisfied with your milk and does not want anything else.
Good Luck.

Answer 4

Mashed potatoes (minus salt and pepper) is a good choice. Zucchini cooked really soft could be, cooked apples could be a good little sweet treat for him.
