Hellobee Boards

Here are a few examples:
Breakfast:
frozen waffle (we buy these whole grain/flax ones) and some strawberries
Yogurt mixed with berries
Cereal (puffed kamut) and banana

Lunch: usually leftovers, today we went to a friends house and she ate some chicken salad and zucchini slices

Dinner: whatever we are eating...last night she had curried sweet potato soup and a quinoa/broccoli/egg muffin thing. Tonight she will have fish, rice, and spinach. We gave her some BBQ chicken pizza (whole wheat crust) on Sunday.

I just cut everything into small pieces and let her do what she wants. Somedays she doesn't eat very much, other days she eats a ton!

@JoJoGirl: my babe has front teeth but no molars. She doesn't really use her teeth for chewing. I cut things into bite sized pieces, and she moves them around her mouth and squishes them between her gums. I don't give her raw/hard veggies or anything like that.

Can she handle a straw? Smoothies are good way to get fruits into them, and you can use whatever you want, ice, yogurt, milk, etc.

@JoJoGirl: sounds to me like you could play around with mixing stuff, maybe offer in some whole wheat toast sticks?

Anna isn't real fond of baby food anymore. She instantly fusses the second she sees us with any kind of food.
She has had cheese, bread, yogurt, pudding, carrots, mac n cheese and a bunch of other stuff.
She loves sweet potato 'puffs' that I think Gerber makes and those Yogurt melts as well.
She's still learning the feeding herself thing though lol

@JoJoGirl: I bet she outgrew it! I've read it's very common to outgrow around 6 months. My LO loves breads, too. Some of his favorites are avocado naan, spinach cheese bread, and tomato basil bread.

W do BLW and K has taken to it really well...sometimes I think too well. She'll eat anything and everything and I'm pretty sure that, if I let her, she'd eat until she threw up. So, I'm not sure she's the best comparison, but here's what she ate yesterday and today:

Breakfast:
1. Scrambled egg, strawberries, kiwi
2. Oatmeal with banana and blueberries, strawberries, avocado.

Lunch:
1. Chili, avocado, Brussels sprouts.
2. Roasted chicken breast, kiwi, avocado, watermelon, cottage cheese.

Dinner:
1. Pasta with sausage and peppers, avocado, kiwi, butternut squash, full-fat plain Greek yogurt with some fruit purée mixed in.
2. Breaded chicken breast, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli, avocado, full-fat plain Greek yogurt.

We also offer water in a straw cup with every meal and she tends to drink quite a bit of it.

ETA: She has ZERO teeth and this does not prove to be any sort of impediment to her ability to eat ALL. THE. FOOD.

@JoJoGirl: We are in the same place--and barely eating 3 meals a day. And they are not meals at all. Just single stuff, mostly, like you. I think it's fine. In fact, I decided it was turning me into a head case freaking out that she wasn't eating enough, so my new policy (as of this morning) is to not worry about it.

She does luuurve yogurt, though, and veggie soup. I think because it has a little salt? Which is too bad, because then I feel like I really have to limit it.

Ours are the same at 8.5 months!

@JoJoGirl: It's basically just what we eat. I might throw on a couple other things, but if I do they're just raw fruits and veggies.

@heartonastring: Holy crap!! She is a eater
