Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Our IVF miracle, after 5 years, 5 IUIS & 2 IVFs
Ideas for "meals".....list yours
I dont know if I am the only one having trouble coming up with good things to feed my 10 month old...he is over the baby food...so I thought everyone could list things they have given their baby...and everyone could get ideas from it
Breakfast: bagels, pancakes, oatmeal, fruit (kiwi, mango, banana)
Lunch: cheese, applesause, yoguart..Im getting stumped on lunches....going to try mac & cheese this week
Dinner: he gets bites off our plates, including cheese pizza, all veggies, pasta....
*If you have done eggs for breakfast, are you scrambling the entire egg for them?

Re: Ideas for "meals".....list yours
Breakfast: Usually Cheerios and fruit. Sometimes toast strips, oatmeal or eggs. And when we make pancakes or french toast, she'll have those with us.
Lunch: soup and crackers, steamed veggies, yogurt, cheese cubes, pasta. Usually leftovers from other dinners. I'll portion out a couple servings, especially of veggies, for DD's lunches. Makes it quick and easy to grab out of the fridge and reheat.
Dinner: whatever we're having.
*Eggs; yes, DD gets the whole egg. No allergies here!
I give DD a majority of the stuff you have on your list, but I also give her...
Breakfast: waffles, toast, scrambled egg yolk
Lunch: pasta, leftovers from dinner (I'm also struggling with ideas)
Dinner: grilled cheese, chicken, pork, ground beef, turkey, most veggies
Fruit: cantaloupe, apple, watermelon
Breakfast: yogurt mixed with fruit, waffles, french toast. He'll eat pancakes if we do too, but we haven't recently. I also scrambled him a whole egg once... but he's always ready to eat as soon as he's up.
Lunch: mainly veggies and then some finger goods (cheerios, blueberries, grapes, crackers). He'll start eating more leftovers now... he just started eating dinner with us.
Dinner: he used to eat a jar of stage three meals... now we're on to real food. He eats whatever we do. Pasta, chicken, we made beef enchiladas last week and he loved those. We're trying Jamaican Jerk Chicken tonight. I usually throw in some fruit if he didn't eat any with lunch.
Here is what we have been doing...
Breakfast: cheerios on his tray while I mix fruit with oatmeal/cereal. We also do yogurt and whole wheat waffles
Lunch: meat (usually grilled chicken, but also pork), black beans, steamed broccoli, brown rice, cheese, clementine, banana, avocado, ravioli (usually our leftovers from the night before)
Dinner: whatever we are having meat, veggies, etc.
I am very thankful that we have a good eater. He will try anything!
I just made a list since we are starting with a new DCP that will serve food. Sorry for length/formatting.
Breakfast: Cheerios (dry), pancakes or waffles(again,dry ? no butter or syrup, sometimes we use a fruit spread or applesauce),scrambled eggs (with cheese), wheat toast (with fruit spread or apple sauce orcream cheese), bagels with cream cheese, yogurt (we buy yobaby or plain yogurtand mix in fruit) and lots of fruit. (LJloves loves loves bananas?he calls them nananas! We try to limit him toone a day ? he would eat them for every meal if we let him. If he won?t eat anything else, a banana isalways a sure bet. He also likes: apples, applesauce, blueberries (whole if theyare frozen, cut in half if they are fresh), cantaloupe, mangos, peaches,pineapple, pears. We have not given him strawberries,blackberries, raspberries, etc yet.
Lunch: Yogurt, fruit, cheese sandwich (just wheatbread toasted and cheese, I just make him a half) grilled cheese, cream cheeseand veggies in a pita, cheese and veggies/beans melted in a pita or a wrap (asa quesadilla, he ?dips it? in plain yogurt), plain hummus on crackers or toast,pieces of chicken and veggies/rice (sometimes mixed with applesauce if hedoesn?t eat it plain). We serve thiswith fruit or veggies on the side. Wehave not introduced any lunchmeat. Hedoesn?t seem to like pasta that much.
Happy Birthday, little man. We love you so much!
My favorite money saving tip: I've earned more than $300 in gift cards (Amazon, Starbucks, Southwest!) using SwagBucks for internet searching - and you can too! It's FREE and EASY!
I have a question for those of you who give LO whatever you eat for dinner and such. When making dinner do you seperate their serving before you add salt and certain spices or do they eat exactly what you eat? I want to share more of my dinners with DS but I'm concerned about giving him too much salt, especially if DH cooks because he makes everything taste like a salt lick.
OP as far as what he eats right now
Breakfast: oatmeal w/fruit or yogurt, a scrambled egg yolk if I'm feeling fancy. Some banana if I have some in the house.
Lunch: 1/2 a jar of pureed veggies, some cheese, pieces of whole wheat bread, diced chicken if we have left overs.
Dinner: Usually the same as lunch just bigger portions.
We don't use alot of salt or spices, but yes, we will remove a portion for DD before adding any ingredients that we don't want her to have. Whether it's salt, ingredients that are allergenic or pieces she could choke on.
Lunch is the hardest meal for us, though sometimes we do get stumped on dinner (usually if we're having something that we'd rather he didn't have - aka, we're being unhealthy and wouldn't like for him to indulge with us).
Breakfast: scrambled egg (white and yolk), toast strips with either cream cheese or peanutbutter, we will make a large batch of whole wheat pancakes or waffles on the weekend and freeze the remainders for throughout the week (reheat in the toaster) - serve these plain, with cream cheese, or with a very thin smear of jam. Sometimes we'll do oatmeal or steel cut oats, but not very often, because he doesn't like being spoonfed. We also always serve a fruit - banana, mango, berries, etc.
Lunch: leftovers from dinner, Annie's organic macaroni and cheese products (try to limit these to once/wk), pasta - usually penne with red sauce though lately he's been on a pasta strike, veggie burger patties (we just tried these and he LOVES them), tofu (also a food he LOVES), grilled cheese, quesadilla, peanutbutter and jelly sandwich, tunafish (no mayo), cheese chunks or shredded cheese. We also always include veggies of some sort (the freezer items of mixed veggies are great for us!) and we can usually get 3-4 servings from them - he really does love his veggies. Almost always lunch will also include a fruit.
Dinner: whatever we're eating for the most part, otherwise it looks a lot like his lunch items. We'll make homemade pizza which he likes (just cheese for him), chicken fried rice, chicken, steak, venison, ground turkey, salmon, halibut, pot roast (these veggies are great for him, too) veggies and a fruit.
To be honest I pretty much feed her everything except nuts at this point.
