I'm not the best in the kitchen. Maybe DH could make some though. He is the cook in the family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045273 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:13:59 +0000 immabeetoo 1045273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: @MamaJ: I also feel like I spend an absurd amount of time cleaning up after him, though long sleeved bibs and cloth rags help :)</p> <p>you could make your own ricotta cheese or mozzarella? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045266 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:10:46 +0000 MamaJ 1045266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: thanks! :) and we haven't done cheese yet either because I haven't really found any I find suitable lol. I was thinking maybe trying goat cheese but haven't yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045261 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:09:19 +0000 travelgirl1 1045261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: It's a Sarah Crowder recipe on the Hellobee blog, it's fab! Just eggs and banana, then you fry them in butter, really tasty, I eat them too : ) <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/01/two-ingredient-pancakes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/01/two-ingredient-pancakes/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045260 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:06:38 +0000 MamaJ 1045260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: oh yeah and what is in your two ingredient pancakes? I would love the recipe! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045259 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:06:09 +0000 travelgirl1 1045259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: It's really hard though, isn't it? I feel like every recipe I see involves cheese, but I'm not sure of the 'least processed' option - do you have one? I'm lucky that she loves her veggies or I don't know what I'd give her, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045254 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:04:21 +0000 MamaJ 1045254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: I'm trying to avoid the junky grains other than puffs</p> <p>@travelgirl1: I'm trying to avoid processed stuff too. Yes the mess is why I've been avoiding lunch. He also takes forever to eat. I feel like I'm going to spend my entire day at the high chair! </p> <p>We haven't introduced meat yet. Ill probably try soon to give us some more options! </p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045165 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:28:30 +0000 travelgirl1 1045165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do BLW and haven't introduced grains yet and we're avoiding processed foods as much as possible so we're a bit limited. She was getting just dinner and breakfast but we added in lunch this week. I'd been putting it off because our meal times are MESSY! It's just how we roll but it's a hell of a lot of cleaning up and I wasn't ready to face the extra clean yet, lol. </p> <p>Breakfast: 2 ingredient pancakes with natural yoghurt OR avocado chunks, banana chunks, peach chunks and yoghurt. Sometimes there will be different fruit combos but I try to give her three or four different types.</p> <p>Lunch: Omelette with veg in it, today we tried falafel fingers from the blog but she wasn't a fan (although I loved them, too dry for her I think). </p> <p>Dinner: Salmon or chicken or beef of lentils (salmon baked then given as is, chicken/beef I blend in some kind of puree because she struggles to chew it otherwise) then about four veggies. Her favourite is beets but she also loves broccoli, cauliflower, roasted sweet potato rounds, carrot sticks, butternut squash, zucchini, green beans, asparagus.</p> <p>Dessert: Natural yoghurt with fruit puree frozen in ice cube trays then given in her mesh feeder - she LOVES these. Sweet tooth like her mama :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045087 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:56:37 +0000 MrsF 1045087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 10 months with 6 teeth (she was also milk protein intolerant but we've been trialing yogurt this week)</p> <p>Breakfast: Various fruits with yogurt, two ingredient banana pancakes from the blog (she LOVES these - I make a big batch and freeze little baggies with 4 in each), scrambled eggs (she likes the eggs better if I scramble them with salsa and veggies), or occasionally oatmeal fingers. </p> <p>Lunch: I'm lazy for lunch and give her a pouch every day. She loves it, cleanup is minimal and I give her something heavy on prunes, pears, etc if she's constipated. </p> <p>Dinner: Usually our leftovers. She'll have any kind of meat that we have around, steamed or sauteed veggies, beans, I make her little sweet potato "fries", avocados. </p> <p>She's really started eating more in the past few weeks. It took a really long time for her to eat enough to cut down on her bottles. It's been fun to see her likes and dislikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045063 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:41:37 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 1045063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what he often gets is:<br /> breakfast: eggs with cheese and veggies scrambled in, sometimes with hummus</p> <p>dinner: whatever we are having, often veggies, beef, potatoes, we've tried chicken a few times but he doesn't swallow it and cries when his mouth gets overstuffed! also pasta. we often give yogurt for "dessert"</p> <p>when i have nothing to cook or easy to give him and i am lazy, i let him eat mini wheats, yogurt, some kind of fruit (banana, blueberries, today he tried grapes), cheese slices. sometimes avocado (but that still takes prep on my part).</p> <p>It's hard to say what is regular but i always feel like he doesn't have enough variety, maybe he does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1045054 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:36:11 +0000 immabeetoo 1045054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He eats most anything! THe only thing we're avoiding is honey until 1 year. This is a typical day:</p> <p>breakfast- full fat yogurt mix (usually spinach or kale + a fruit; I make a few days worth at a time) + a whole fruit (half a banana, a mini plum, a pear slice, piece of pineapple, slice of melon, etc.) + a grain or an egg (baby pancake, baby muffin, scrambled eggs)</p> <p>lunch/dinner - a whole fruit + a whole veggie + a protein/some of what we're eating. </p> <p>He doesn't like spicy food (I found this out on accident :( I guess my threshold has lowered) so I've been making him some alternative main courses because we have lots of spicy stuff! I've made quinoa/scallion patties, dals, and different hummus/bean dips. He also eats chicken but it's easier to have a pyrex of bean dip to scoop out of!</p> <p>I struggle most with veggies that aren't purees; lately I've been trying to mince or shred things like beets or cucumbers and I'm going to try roasting stuff now that he has better coordination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044972 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:55:45 +0000 hilsy85 1044972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: we started with the yolk for 2 or 3 days and then did the whole egg! We have no history of allergies and our pedi said it was fine at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044953 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:44:21 +0000 kml636 1044953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: do you give your baby the whole egg? I'm anxious to feed her scrambled eggs but my dr said to wait... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044951 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:43:31 +0000 kml636 1044951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>banana or yogurt for breakfast<br /> Avocado, berries, or peas for lunch with maybe a piece of toast or some noodles<br /> dinner is some of what we are having and we always give her oatmeal out of habit (when we were trying to get her to STTN we gave her this before bed)</p> <p>When I'm lazy, it's pouches and puffs :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044703 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:11:45 +0000 hilsy85 1044703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast: scrambled eggs with cheese or oatmeal with fruit or yogurt with fruit. If I have any pancakes from the weekend he gets some of hose with fruit</p> <p>Lunch: could be anything! Leftovers from our dinner, turkey burgers, roasted chicken, quinoa spinach patties, meatballs, grilled steak or shrimp...I try to do a protein and veggies, usually either roasted or boiled veggies tossed with olive oil and salt and pepper.</p> <p>Dinner: same as lunch.</p> <p>Check out weelicious, they have great ideas!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044699 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:10:06 +0000 MamaChin 1044699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For breakfast N will have oatmeal, fruit, toast dipped in purée, avocado has been a favorite lately. 2pm snack is always yogurt and fruit. Dinner is veggies and a protein, zucchini, carrots, green beans, broccoli, sweet potatoes, whatever meat we're having (swished in water if heavily seasoned) or tofu. If what we're eating isn't appropriate for him (mommy is only eating ice cream for dinner!) he'll get pasta and tiny meatballs I freeze for emergencies cooked in chicken broth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044697 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:08:42 +0000 DillonLion 1044697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All meals (3x a day) are a fruit or veggie puree either single ingredient or a combo of a few fruits/veggies mixed together.</p> <p>Occassionally I give her a banana or strawberry to chew on. And puffs for practice. </p> <p>But lately in the last few days she hasn't been wild about her purees, so I think we are going to move on to table food. </p> <p>I'm really trying to avoid junky grains ( besides puffs) so we are sticking with fruits and veggies mostly and will do a bit of meat and dairy on occassion for now.</p> <p>She is 9 months tomorrow and has 8 teeth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044658 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:48:49 +0000 kodybear 1044658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right now her meals usually look like -</p> <p>breakfast - eggs, breakfast sausage, cheese, fruit (she doesn't like fruit tho right now but i try to make her take at least a bite!)</p> <p>lunch &amp; dinner are similar - meat (beef or chix), veggies (some variety of peas, green beans, carrots, sweet pot, broccoli), sometimes grilled cheese or mac and cheese </p> <p>i need more ideas too! i suck at cooking but i don't want her to eat that much packaged food, so i've just been keeping it simple for now. but i feel like she's eating the same thing over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-9-month-old-eat#post-1044568 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:09:21 +0000 MamaJ 1044568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 9 months old and only eating breakfast and dinner but I think I need to add in lunch. He only has two bottom teeth and I feel like I'm just feeding him the same thing over and over! </p> <p>Right now he usually gets a banana, egg or oatmeal for breakfast and a veggie for dinner. He isn't into purées anymore but ill feed him a pouch for dinner if I'm lazy. </p> <p>Share a sample menu for your 9 month old! </p>
