Meals For LO

Ok so she will only eat tablefood that she can feed herself. SHe refuses to let me feed her. I need more ideas for meals for her. Any thoughts ladies?

TIA

What are you giving her for meals?

My baby can get small bit of soft cheese, banana chunks, and smooshy steamed carrot hunks in the general direction of his mouth, that's about it.

We've been giving DD just about everything we have for lunch/dinner.

Her favorites are steamed carrots and sweet potatoes, diced chicken, elbow pasta w/ either butter or tomato sauce (I love that I don't have to cut up the pasta, so this is a super easy meal!), diced avocado, bananas chunks of watermelon and halved blueberries.

At this point, we're still doing yogurt for breakfast, fruit for lunch, and then same meal as the family for dinner. But she's still supplemented w/ purees.

DS is 100% table food now and will eat most anything.  Elbow macaroni with a little butter/cheese, hot dogs, sandwich with lunch meat and cheese broken up, shredded chicken or pork, hamburger patty broken up, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, peaches, green beans, peas, steamed carrots, steamed brocolli (sometimes), seasoned potatoes, pasta with tomato sauce, string cheese...

My DD has been eating finger foods (won't eat baby food) for a week now. She has eaten:

Diced up banana, steamed & diced carrots, steamed peas, little pieces of ground beef, Gerber pasta pick ups cut up into smaller pieces, sweet potato fries cut into cubes, blueberries, and little pieces of cheese.

She does great with all of these. Her favorites are the pasta pick ups, sweet potato fries, and blueberries. She gobbles them up!

DD loves Gardenburger patties (which I cut up very small), mac n' cheese w small whole wheat elbow noodles, shredded cheese, black beans, small pieces of meat (fresh sliced deli meat), chunks of kiwi, pear, banana, pieces of pancake w no syrup, scrambled eggs (or egg yolks).  I also have found some great receipes on wholesomebabyfood.com. They have a GREAT receipe for these brocoli and cheese bites (sort of like a veggie meatball thing) which you make with rice cereal instead of using breadcrumbs. So delish!
