She can pretty much eat the same things you can, just in smaller portions and nothing too hard to chew. Some ideas are steamed vegetables, cut up into small peices, chicken, macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwich, cut into small squares, pasta with sauce (I like to use shells or rotini so they are already small), peas, green beans, jello squares, pudding, steamed cut carrots, soft fruits like strawberries, halved grapes, plums, peaches, etc.

You can probably feed her anything healthy that you eat,as long as it is not a choking hazard or too highly spiced.. Cut meat into tiny shreds, mash up vegetables and fruits. Give her some things she can pick up and feed herself. It's good for small motor development and encourages the development of the muscles needed for chewing. My kids loved ravioli cut into pieces and any other pasta, bits of ground beef, cooked carrots. Don't give her grapes unless you cut them in 4's, melted mozzarella is a choking hazard and any other cheese needs to be in small pieces. Hot dogs can also be a hazard. If you introduce new foods one at a time you can tell if anything upsets her stomach.

Our kids were feeding their 9 month old soft foods. We (the grandparents) gave her tiny bits of bread and teeny bits of rice, and she even liked mildly spicy stuff that we ate. The best part was when she was fussy and my hubby handed her a turkey wing. We watched to make sure she didn't choke. She was in love with that wing! And when the kids left the next day, my daughter in law asked if we had another wing for the trip home!
So I guess pretty much anything goes, if they don't like it they won't eat it. Just watch to make sure the bites are small and nothing to choke on.

By one year old, your daughter is ready to eat regular foods and can pretty much eat whatever you eat. Finger foods are best at this age. Fruits and veggies are good, breads, dry cereal, pasta. No need to puree her foods, or mash them up. Just give her bite-sized pieces. Also, this is a good time to introduce her to a wide variety of tastes. No need to stick to a bland diet . . . remember, babies in other parts of the world are eating off their parent's plates, too! Maybe your baby will LOVE tacos and curry! :)

Try boiling noodles until they are soft and then serve your family that. I know that she would probably want to eat what the whole family is eating. Just give her whatever the family is eating as long as it isn't too hard. Like meat off the bone and corn on the cob are bad choices. Instead, cut up the meat and cook it until it is very tender, and buy corn off the cob. As long as it is tiny peices and soft, she won't choke on it.
P.S. Cheerios are also a good choice because your daughter can suck on them instead of just swallowing them.

Anything soft - and make sure they are in tiny bite size pieces so she will not choke. By 1 my kids were basically eating our food with some obvious exceptions -- can't chew steak for example. If there are concerns about allergies - check with her doctor before introducing any new foods.

She can have anything that you would normally eat, unless of course it is too spicey. I would stay away from anything containing nuts. When my 17 month old started eating "regular food" I just cooked what I wanted for dinner and then put it in a food processor and chopped it up to the consistancy of 3rd foods.

My children are now in their 40's
I do not pay much attention as I pass the baby food ISLE but
I know that from what you told us in this question
"your not trying".
Why haven't you asked this at your DR's..
why haven't you gotten books on Parenting and childhood developement..
You can always ask your WIC center (women infant & children) or the welfare office any medical clinic can advise you to additional sources
PS there is a yahoo catagory for child care.

yogurt, pudding, bananas, spaghettio's, soft cooked carrots, pasta cut into small pieces. You can try just about anything as long as it's in itty bitty pieces, she doesn't have to chew too much, and it's not spicy.
