Anything you can eat except honey (possibility of botulism) and peanut butter (texture issue). Current thinking on allergies is early introduction of foods does not increase allergies and may decrease them. Steamed carrots (look for a low nitrate source), broccoli, pureed squash, sweet potatoes, all soft fruits, plain yogurt or yogurt with real fruit mixed in (way healthier than the go-gurts and sugar added products), fully cooked eggs (scrambled fine, no soft boiled), meats cut into small pieces, salmon (canned is easy). I would stay away from anything you don't want them to crave later - fried/high fat/preservative/HFCS laden things like chicken nuggest/fingers, hot dogs, french fries, pizza etc. She will love new foods now, why set her up for unhealthy habits later?

Scrambled eggs, yogurt, pasta cut up small, soft fruit - mashed up or cut up, soft potatoes, small pieces of bread...
Basically, anything in small bites that they can gum. Look at what you are eating, and see if you can turn it into something for the little one.

Is your baby still on formula? but try organic yogurt, small bits of fruit and veggies, and small bites of meat. i would not do anything too heavy or do too much just incase the baby has an allergy and nothing that has honey or chocolate in it

Whole wheat pasta (the spirals or the macaroni is easy to pick up) or the veggie pasta (Crazy Mac) is healthy. I usually sprinkle a little parmesean cheese on it just to give a bit more taste, but my daughter ate it up like crazy (and still does - she's 2).

I also second the yo-baby yogurt. She loved it. Sometimes I'd also just give her a slice of whole wheat bread and she'd chomp away.

I made a lot of veggies...steamed them and then froze them so that I could rehead just a few at a time. I gave my kids cut up beans, corn, peas, carrots most days. Canned beans, like black and red are also really good. Just drain and rinse the beans and cut them in half, although the black beans are probably fine whole. Pasta is a great suggestion, both my kids loved mac and cheese and this age (still do), you can also do lunch meat and cut up cheese. Hot dogs are great as long as you cut them into quarters at this age. If you make hard boiled eggs you can give your baby the yolk part, just not the white. Try experimenting and see what your baby likes the best.

answers from Minneapolis on

your baby is 10 months old and can NOT have peanut butter or eggs yet. Not till at lest one. My daughter is almost 10 months old and eats what we eat. cinnemon toast, jelly sandwich, fruit (not strawberries till 1 though) veggies, yo baby yogurt made by stony field. Mac and cheese, basically anything your eating as long as they are able to chew/gum it ok. just cut everything up real small. The only things they cant have till after 1 due to being a high allergy food is eggs, strawberries, peanuts/peanut butter, and honey. My daughter eats whatever we give. Its nice she is not picky. Good luck!
