What Is Your 9 Month Old Eating?

My 9mo LOVES puffs and Cheerios! We're giving him a combination of baby food (he likes stage 2 still, not crazy about stage 3) and regular food that's squishy.

Ex: Yesterday, dinner was a jar of stage 2 dinner, and then some mashed potatoes.
I've also gotten him some of the toddler graduates meals. One meal lasts awhile, but he gets some of the pasta and cooked vegatables meals.

So we're doing a mix of our food and baby food. He still prefers baby food when he's hungry.

My 9 month old eats:
chunks of avocado
pieces of ripe pears (peeled)
cheerios and graham crackers
chunks of sweet potato
toast with various purees spread on it and cut into sticks

she prefers finger foods to purees so that is mostly what she gets....

Here is a sample of what my daughter was eating at nine months:
~ Breakfast: banana cut into small chuncks, oatmeal

~ Lunch: steamed green veggie (broccoli, peas, or green beans), small chunks of fruit (peaches, pears, apples - steamed), and organic mac & chesse or small pieces of a grilled cheese sandwich

~ Snack: Gerber puffs, wagon wheels (broken up), cheese puffs; or left over fruit from lunch

~ Dinner: steamed veggie medly (sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini), diced firm tofu sauteed in a little olive oil and sprinkled with garlic and parmesean cheese (this is still one of her favorites!) or some other form of protein, and a container of Yo Baby yogurt. Hope this helps! You can also try checking out www.wholesomebabyfood.com for more finger food ideas. Good luck!

My daughter's pediatrician recommends waiting till 10 months to introduce finger foods, so my daughter is still eating mostly baby food. We do give her some adult foods if it can be mashed pretty easily.
