what foods babys eat?

Answer 1

infants should not "eat" anything, only breastmilk/formula for the 1st 6-months

after 6-mo, slowly introduce pureed foods, rice cereal, etc in very small amounts a few times a day, can also try fruit juices (they cannot digest solids well and should still be on a mostly liquid diet)

after 1-yr can switch from formula to cow's milk

by 2-yrs they should be eating most any/everything (some things with supervision like hard veggies/fruits/nuts - anything they might choke on)

Answer 2

Depends on the babies age.
If it's a new born, formula.
Gerber has the best foods. They have gerber cereals, Juices, 1st foods ( applesauce, bananas, peaches, prunes, carrots, green beans, squash, peas, sweet potatoes, etc and it's all like mashed up), 2nd foods (larger variation like apple & chicken, apples & ham, broccoli & chicken, beef & carrots, pears & chicken, vanilla custard pudding, turkey & turkey gravy, banana & orange medley, sweet potato & corn, apple vanilla mixed grain, etc), 3rd stage food (turkey rice & garden vegetables, mac&cheese with apples +chicken, oatmeal pears and chicken, broccoli & carrots with cheese ETC). Please remember that I'm not talking about actual meat, they have this stuff combined, blended and mashed for the baby in the little jars.
There are also some finger foods for babies like veggie puffs, biter buscuits, and fruit puffs. All different types of varieties.

Each baby is different: some may need food other than breast milk or infant formula sooner than others, and as there is no Baby Food Pyramid, it is hard to tell the nutritional requirements of any given baby. Babies typically move to consuming baby food once nursing or formula is not sufficient for the child's appetite. Babies do not need to have teeth to transition to eating solid foods. Teeth, however, normally do being to show up at this age. Care should be taken with certain foods that pose a choking hazard such and hot dogs, popcorn, grapes, and hard candy. Babies should begin eating liquid style baby food, sometimes mixed with rice cereal and formula. Then as baby is better able to chew, small, soft pieces or lumps may be included. Care should be taken, as babies with teeth have the ability to break of pieces of food but they do not possess the back molars to grind, so parents should carefully mash or break baby food into manageable pieces for baby. Around 9 months of age, babies may begin to feed themselves (picking up food pieces with hands, using the pincer grasp- thumb and forefinger) with help from parents.

It is often recommended to give a baby solid food at around 6 months of age, but babies differ greatly. The only good way to know when to introduce baby food is to watch for signs of readiness in the child. Signs of readiness include the ability to sit without help and the display of active interest in food that others are eating. A baby may be started directly on normal family food if attention is given to choking hazards. Because breast milk takes on the flavor of foods eaten by the mother, these foods are especially good choices.

One may wish to introduce only one new food at a time, leaving a few days in between to notice any reactions that would indicate a food allergy or sensitivity. This way if a baby is unable to tolerate a certain food then it can be determined which food is causing the reaction.

In the past, it was traditionally common to start infants on solid food from 4+ months onwards – however current research and WHO/UNICEF "Baby Friendly" guidelines recommend only breast milk until at least 6 months of age.

Answer 5

My grand-daughter was barely 9 months old and she loved turkey wings. Her parents thought she wasn't ready for solids, but that little one proved them wrong. Really, if they want to try it and it's little bits and you watch, if they're hungry they eat anything!
