What else can I give my 7 month old...

[momofha]

Hi there,

DD is 7 months now and I have been giving her jars of food till now. (Lazy!!) Recently I have started to give her the same as my 2 DSs at lunch time now and again like fish fingers chopped up and mash and peas and banana and that is sort of where it stops.

Please give me ideas as to what else I can give her as a meal that I dont have to liquidize or something. My brain has turned to mush and I cant remember what I feed the boys. I was thinking of carrots but I worry they will be to much for her as she hasnt even got teeth yet.

Please any suggestions of soft stuff that I can give her.

give her whatever you are having. I do that with dd1 and started at around 7 months. She particularly liked french toast, bacon, sausages, spag bol, pasta....she is 13 months now and still doesn't have any teeth!!

Ahh yes french toast and pasta. Is she ok with bacon and sausage at 7 months, wont she choke on it?

anything spag bolg was always a fave of ours.

when we had a curry at this age DS would have it 'dry' as it were same with stir frys.

also babys gum a lot of stuff so it will help with her teeth I would imagion if they're on the move.

Just keep stuff soft.

Dd2 has neer choked on anything tbh...she used to like holding the sausage and chewing on it. Not sure she really ate that much of it tbh! I followed BLW and it has been great.....less hassle although can be messy!!

bacon I wouldn't recommend (salt aspect is all but i'm a bit fussy on that one) er sausage yes don't see why not, if you cut it in half and then strip it as it were - also at this age DS didn't eat the skin - I sort of scooped out the inside bit. prob a bit pfb ish but worked for us.

spaghetti bolognaise, chopped up really fine, with the tomato sauce watered down so its not so acidic, fish pie, chunks of well cooked sweet potato (nice and soft for them), scrambled egg (i think its recommended without yolk at this age, but I gave DD yolk and all), cheesy mash, cooked fruit and yoghurt,

Oh no another one that needs the skin taken off the sausage!!! My 2.5 year old DS wont eat the skin on any sausage.

OK need to go grab a pen to write the ideas done.

when DD was bout 7 months we would give her a very large prok loin to suck on. She could not bite it off well enough to choke on it, and it was too big to fit in her mouth. She absolutely loved it.

Probably did not do us well though, as the other day after a lamb roast, I turned to find her at the table again knawing on the lamb bone !!! She is a cave baby!!

Other things that dd2 liked were strips of peppers (red ones) cucumber, cheese, carrots..I think by about 9 months she was eating roast dinners! Also, little fingers of bread and butter is nice.

LMAO @ little pav!

DS eats it all now - started leaving the sin on from about 18 months ish. agreed witht eh roasts as well chop it all up for them and let them eat it - althou pasta I never did for DS - but then again he had 4 teeth but that stage (9 months)

er what else, beans, obv steamed veg sticks - all sorts, pears (I 1/4 them) grapes, yoghurts, rasins, peas, sweetcorn cottage pie, pretty much what ever we had he did. (just every now and again i'd help him wiht his spoon (for the meat) also strips f beef and pork - mmostly they were gummed and sucked but hoping the flavour went in there as well?
