My daughter is 11 months old and I started giving her solid food. She has cereal & Banana in the morning 7:00, Mac & Cheese with smached apple 11:00, 3:00-4:00 white rice, shredded chicken with green beans & banana pudding. I am looking for more ideas.
I recomend a book called Super Baby Food. It has a purple cover and it is like the bible for feeding your baby healthy foods. You can check it out at your local library or buy it every where. I even had a question about something she wrote about and I emailed the author and within 2 hrs she emailed me back. Good luck!
Unless you have a reason to be worried about food allergies (a family history) I would offer her anything and everything that is soft enough for her to chew without molars. She can have whatever you are having.
My 10 month old really likes feeding himself, so as well as bits of what I am eating he likes pieces of carrot, peas, whole wheat noodles, ripe kiwi fruit, sweet potato chunks, cut up grapes etc.. I consider him my dinner time buddy since my toddler is in a "dinner is not yummy" stage, and my husband is rarely home for dinner, but my baby dives right in and eats almost anything.
try to stick to whole foods instead of processed white pastas and rices which have had all of their nutrients stripped from them. Empties calories that lead to obesity. Chop up fruits and steam some veggies. Make some whole wheat or brown rice curly pastas, chicken and turkey are great with some bison thrown in for iron on occasion. Be creative, but remember you'll have to do some modeling so make sure you are eating healthy foods too.
123 Cook For Me is the best book ever. It makes suggestions by month as well as lots of easy recipes.
