What are you feeding your 7 month old?

We asked the pedi yesterday, but she wasn't very helpful. She said stick with jarred food for now and transition to other soft puree-like foods because babies don't like texture.

Ryan doesn't mind texture at all! He's had some table food and liked it. I have him some very small bites of pancake last weekend and he loved it.

I haven't given anything to Mason besides the jarred foods, and he tried some saltine crackers. It's not because I don't think he shouldn't be eating anything else, I just don't know what to start with! I am looking forward to the responses to this.

We have given leighton mashed potatoes, pancake, eggs and a bite of the chicken inside my chicken nugget. She did not like the mashed potatoe or the pancake but she loves eggs! The chicken, I think she could take it or leave it. But, we don't give her this food very often...just occasionally

"Do whatever you want" pretty much sums up DS's 6 month well check. Thanks doc.

Aside from baby food we've given DS very, very tiny pieces of strawberry, blueberry, watermelon, and melon. We also gave him a couple baby puffs yesterday. We've let him feel and taste steak, broccoli, and carrots.

steamed baby carrots, unsweetened applesauce, cantaloupe, watermelon, pears, peaches, baked butternut squash, and of couse CHEERIOS--she loves them!

totally NOT flaming, but aren't you supposed to wait until 12 months for eggs? were you told differently? I would love to try it with DD but I didn't think I was supposed to.

My LO is a very good eater. We have taken it slow but now he eats avocado, mango, carrots, peas, blueberries, watermelon, soy burgers, edamame, pasta, cheese, bananas, cheerios, puffs, waffles, and yogurt.

My Pedi is anti meat before 9 mos. That is why we don't do meat.

C is a couple weeks older than your little one I think, but she eats lots of solid foods and doesn't like puree's/no texture foods. This morning she had some toast and part of an orange. Loves cucumber (I cut it into wedges and she mainly eats out the middle bit, I buy the seedless type), watermelon, pita, sweet potato wedges, peaches...

Essentially I just give her whole foods that don't have added sugar/salt/preservatives and let her explore.

Our pedi said yolks were OK at 6 months and whites/whole eggs at 12. She also did talk about the fact that the AAP is really re-thinking their stance on high allergy foods and that perhaps holding off on them is leading to higher rates of allergies, so...Don't know what the poster actually gave her LO, just sharing. DD likes the yolks - we've done hard boiled and scrambled in the microwave with herbs.
