I thought it might be interesting, and also hopefully inspirational for those of us who might feel we're making the same things regularly! So, what did your baby - 6m to 18m, any age that still has some milk and might be playing around with weaning - actually eat today?
12mo DD had...
4oz formula when she woke up
A bowl of Shreddies and the rest of the formula (2oz) for breakfast
Some sultanas is mid-morning
Chicken and lentil stew and some tinned mandarin segments for lunch
A considerable amount of Pizza Express pizza crust to keep her distracted while we ate 
- my parents were over and food always seems to go downhill when they are here, plus it did at least keep her amused
4oz milk before her nap
A banana when she woke up
A pile of plain cauliflower and broccoli, a kiwi, and a fromage frais for dinner
Then it will be 6oz of formula before bed
Anyone else wants to share?

What did your baby actually eat today?

I like this thread, still getting lots of inspiration.
13mo had yesterday...
6oz cow's milk at breakfast and bedtime, 4oz in the afternoon
Banana and raisin porridge for breakfast
Pasta shells with pesto and mixed frozen veg, I feel that this is going to be a new staple as it is so ridiculously cheap (and I thought the pasta-pesto thing was a bit of a myth, but apparently not!), fromage frais, and blueberries
Some Ella's Kitchin biscuits as a treat, left-over from when she was ill the other week and refused to eat anything but biscuits
Then DP got caught up at work at DD had to stay an hour later at the CMs, who very kindly gave her some of their dinner, so she apparently had fish fingers, chips and beans, and she ate it like it was going out of fashion
I did end the day thinking that the CM's meal could be a cracking AIBU 
(I'm joking, obviously I'm extremely grateful she didn't mind us running late and happily made some extra food)
The Commanderling is being a bit of a refusenik at the moment - teething, I think, as well as a cold. And apparently she can no longer use her own hands unless she has a satsuma 
. Anyway, at the venerable age of 9 month 10 days:
Breastmilk
Porridge and half a banana (a sizeable bowl at that)
Breastmilk
2 arancini made from last night's butternut squash risotto
sucked on some cucumber; threw it on the floor
1 satsuma
A bit of panini which she ate happily because I wasn't watching
1 dried apricot
4 :( fusilli shapes with ratatouille
Fromage frais
2 breastfeeds still to come. She used to eat way more than this and has decided she likes purees and spoonfeeding... sigh!
I am not posting what my 14 month old DD eats. It's ridiculous and I have no idea where she puts it.
DS1 is almost 10 months
He has had so far
7oz formula
bowl of porridge with blueberries,
a small american style pancake with butter
a cheese and tomato toastie (1 slice of bread),
the crust from DS2's sandwich
a couple of oz of water
a piece of tissue!
7oz formula
1/3 of a gigantic pear
a scavanged cheese and onion french frie/fry(what is the singular of french fries?)
Tea will be spag bol followed by a small pancake if he's still hungry
7oz bottle after his bath.
FadBook thanks slaps back 
DS always accepts food but not always eat it-sometimes he prefers to smear it over his highchair creating new pattern
Stop comparing to other babies!
They're all different.
You don't hear of babies or children being starved when there is food readily available and offered, that's because they're not starved, they're thriving and happy. Just offer and they'll either take it or reject it or wind you up and throw it on the floor!
OK, 16mo twins, have had a good-ish couple of days:
Breakfast
Handful of Cheerios to keep them occupied whilst I sort things out
Share a banana
Porridge sweetened type
No mid-morning snack
Lunch
Tuna and cream cheese wraps
Cucumber, if at nursery (thrown on floor if at home!)
Goodies oatcake thing
Ellas fruit smoothie sachet (bear with me here...)
Afternoon snack
Sticks of cheese
Dried apricots
Dinner
Beef & mushroom casserole (beef roughly blended as they're odd about meat texture)
Peas & mashed potato
Slice banana cake
Yoghurt
Raisins while I clear up
No fruit of any kind other than bananas. Two weeks ago I couldn't get enough fruit into them - bananas, pears, plums, peaches, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, clementines, pineapple, mango, sometimes melon, occasionally apple, all devoured. Now universally rejected except banana . Hence the smoothies. Babies are wierd
