Question

Help running out of ideas to feed my daughter. Need help with breakfast and Lunch ideas. She has 8 teeth and like finger foods. thanks

Answer 1

mandarine oranges were my kid's favorites and still are.
gerber graduates has a lot of finger foods
dry cereal like cheerios or rice chex
small pieces of cubed cheese
noodles are always fun--they have many different shapes and sizes

Answer 2

A typical day for my son when he was 11 months old was.
Wake up and breastfeed
Breakfast: cubed pieces of banana, 1/2 piece flax toast with butter, scrambled egg yolk sprinkled with nutritional yeast
Breastfeed
Breastfeed
Breastfeed
Dinner: some sort of meat (chicken, turkey, ground beef), peas/cooked cubed carrots, tiny pieces of soft cooked cauliflower or brocolli, cottage cheese
Snack: plain natural yogurt mixed in with 1/4 cup cooked oatmeal. sometimes I would add ground flax seeds or nutritional yeast but not all the time.
Breastfeed
He also breastfed at least 3 times at night.

You can pretty much do anything. As he got a little bit older than 11 months we experimented a lot more with different foods. He loves avacado, cubed cooked sweet potato, grated cheese, pasta, homemade macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, bread with sugar free jam. The opportunities are endless. Give her whatever you are eating! It's much easier that way. A bit messy but lots of fun :)

Answer 3

Marmite on toast (thin strips or triangles)
Eggy bread (thin strips or triangles)
strips of chicken breast in breadcrumbs (homemade in oven)
par-boiled carrot strips
Raw carrot strips
Cucumber strips
Rice cakes
Apple slices
Banana
My two also love small things to pick up like raisins, peas, sweetcorn kernels etc. They were both good with small foods from an early age, but it depends on the child, be careful and always supervise as the risk of choking on small things. It is important to encourage wide variety at an early age though, and also they need some hard things like carrot and apple as they can learn to chew properly - I know some children that continued to have their food pureed for them until they were 1 and it led to the child not taking ANY food with lumps in and that must have been a nightmare!

Answer 4

My daughter is the same age. For breakfast i would give her toast,Bannanas,diced fruit,gerber puffs,waffles,pancakes,cheerios,biter biscuits.
For lunch I would try vienna susages, bologna, carrat wagon wheels made by gerber,gerber crackers,gerber vegabatles.
I have to usally mix it up a little she gets sick of it and then a few days later loves it all over again. Im guessing she is breastfed or on formula still so if its the concern of nutrients and vitamins. She/He is getting plenty of those from which ever you do. If this isnt enough help there is a link below that has tons of great ideas from other moms!!!!

Answer 5

Cheerios was my sons favorite.
It's a little messy, but he loved little chunk cheese, and it kept him busy trying to get it unstuck from the plate too.

Just remember, small small small pieces. The diameter of a hot dog is enough to choke her.

Chow time is a great connect time. Exploring new tastes, smells, textures. Before you know it, she'll be right beside you while you're making it, "helping"

Congratulations on your blessing and best wishes for happiness and joy.

Answer 6

Dry toast cut into strips works great for kids at that age. If you give her untoasted bread there is a chance it could gum up and possibly choke. I've never had that problem with toasted bread. you could add a little jam to it, but my kids always loved it plain.

Answer 7

I pealed gerber meat sticks, they are VERY soft. And cut them in little pieces. Check out the gerber line they have some cool pick ups.

Answer 8

Whole wheat bread spread thinly with lowfat cream cheese, cut into fingers.

Answer 9

I am sure nothing food is good except FAREX
