Lunch ideas for 9 month old

[shish]

What do you give your 9 month old for lunch. I think my ds is needing more variety..

malt loaf and cheese cubes is a current favourite.

pitta sandwiches (sometimes filled with tuna mayo, sometimes houmous, sometimes soft cheese)

cheese on toast/beans on toast/cheese on beans on toast

omelette (plus whatever i have in in it..peas/cheese/mushrooms/tomato)

soup on toast/bread

pasta salad (cold pasta mixed with sweetcorn/peppers/tuna/whatever)

polenta (ready made stuff, fried in olive oil, topped with courgette and mozzerella)

i can think of some others if you're still stuck..

DS2 is 1 now but these were/are his faves
Veg chilli and couscous
veg lasgagne
homemade fish fingers and roasted sweet potatoes and parsnips
Homemade pizza (base made in bread oven or scone based)

Eggy bread (french toast if you're posh)

My ds, 9.5 months has basically whatever we had the night before. I just take his portion out before adding any salt/wine. He loves any kind of fish mashed with potato/ sweet potato and green veg (broc/courgette) and cheese sauce. Or finely chopped chicken, veg and tomato with baby alphabet pasta. In fact simple pasta tossed in unsalted butter with grated cheese is a winner. Any kind of bolognaise mix with either potato, rice or pasta; mashed banana with avocado and philli cheese... or if we are on the move a marmite sandwich and slices of mild cheddar. Always followed by a yog/fruit. Are you giving finger foods? veg batons and corn on the cob are favourites too. Hope this helps - I'm looking for other mumsnetter ideas too... so will watch this thread!

As a rule of thumb I just give him whatever my 4 year old is having (although I didn't know I could give him beans at 10 months I honestly couldn't remember when I gave DS1 beans either)

I weaned my 4 year old on whatever we ate as that was the diet he would be having. A winner for me is chicken breast cut into strips, dipped in egg with a dash of milk and then into crushed cornflakes!!! Fry them in a pan - winner. Noodles, pasta with anything, steamed veg, sandwiches and the numerous fillings, fish, potato a favourite in our house (I just microwave it on the jacket setting, cut it into thick slices and peel the skin off or put in through a potato ricer to make mash)

I have just bought Annabell Karmel's "after school dinners" for some more inspiration. She is the Delia of children's food. All hail Annabell

Thanks so much for all the ideas. I didn't know I could give him baked beans..
