What foods is your 8 month old eating?

~Lily~ · January 2013

If you started on table foods, what have you given LO so far? I'm still just doing the pureed foods.

I try to give him everything we eat. He's had chicken nuggets, pasta, chicken pot pie, ravioli, crackers. Everything is cut in teeny tiny pieces

DD doesnt have any teeth yet so i have been a little worried about giving her some things. She has had bread, cut up spaghetti and meatballs, mashed potatoes, cut up green beans, yogurt, scrambled eggs, sweet potatoe fries, mushed up peas, pieces of my bagel

Pretty much everything we eat, so far that has included: chicken breast, turkey breast, pork chop, braised pork, boneless pork rib, duck, parsnip, carrot, squash, sweet potato, green beans, broccoli, cheerios, toast, bagel, pear, banana, apricot, avocado, quesadilla, pita bread, pasta, crackers, and more I'm sure.

LO loves meat, especially pork. Also a big fan of parsnips. Most of the veggies, I cut to fry size for LO to be able to hold and either roast or steam them.

So far just some purees, soft food in a mesh feeder, Cheerios (just started a few days ago), baby biscuits and learning how to use a sippy cup with some water in it. Her first teeth just started poking through and she's bf-ing, so we've been taking it slow.

Pretty much like everyone else said, he is getting just about everything we eat. His favorites so far have been eggs, spaghetti, and lo mein. We just put the noodles in his bowl and let him dig in with his hands. He loves to squish the noodles and shoved them into his mouth. It's really funny to see him with noodles hanging out of his mouth, and then he slurps them up. I love trying new stuff with him, it's a lot of fun!

LO loves oatmeal and purees, but hasn't been interested in picking foods up himself until the last week. We have been putting out the "yogurt melt a ways" you can find in the baby aisle, puffs, and the Gerber corn sticks. Since he wasn't doing well with table food, I thought I'd play it safe and stick to things the baby food aisle recommended:)

Now that he's getting the hang of it, I give him a few bites of bland/unseasoned table food: turkey, avocado, mashed potato, and cheerios wet with milk are a few I can remember from this week. Now, he won't eat his puree without having a bite of table food first!

My daughter just turned 8 months and we have only done pur?ed so far...she loves sweet potatoes, white potatoes, and avocados. Absolutely will not eat asparagus or broccoli. Maybe I'm going too slow I don't know she has been very picky so far. Will start branching out more now that I've read the other posts

I've given DD spaghetti, broccoli, vermicelli, beans, green beans, and a few other things. Although, I still get nervous about the portions she puts in her mouth. I know that she's gotta learn what she can handle, but still...her gagging makes me worry. This passes though, right? This helps her learn what size food she can handle.

So since I've got that worry, I've been doing purees as well.

She eats whatever we eat. The only time we give her a puree is if we got fast food or something equally unhealthy.
