If you have a food processor, try that at first with regular foods, it will give them the taste of the new food without suddenly throwing a new texture on them. Once they see that they like the taste and are used to it, feed it to them normally.

You could try the Gerber Lil Entrees I suppose, or Gerber Graduates….but those things get expensive and they do NOT taste like home-cooked food. (I always tried my daughter’s food before feeding it to her, just to see what it tasted like and gauge whether or not she would like it.) Get a little food chopper (not a full-size blender); one of those little ones that have a round clear plastic barrel and a double blade that spins, and you put the lid on it….and just put whatever you and your hubby are having into the chopper and add a little water. For instance, baked chicken, rice and broccoli…take a few cut-up bites of the chicken, a spoonful of rice, and one or two little spears of broccoli, drop them in, add about 2 tbs water (or milk), and chop it up. That way baby gets used to eating with the family instead of having his/her “own special food”. I did this with my daughter right up until she was about 18 months old, and she loved it. Now she’s two and hates everything I put in front of her unless it’s mac & cheese, pizza, or yogurt. LOL Toddlerhood has arrived. Anyway hope this helps.

My wife used fairly soft vegetables that would not pose (for the most part) a choking hazard for the baby. I would avoid bread items since they seem to clump. DO NOT give a little one hot dogs!! Don’t just give them whatever you are eating. You’ve got to be careful. Make sure it’s small amounts. Beans, soft carrots, small pieces of burger I think would be ok, just make sure they are small. That’s the important part.
Don’t be giving your baby chunks of steak and chicken legs.
I know she also gave our daughters saltine crackers but I don’t think that was till they were a little bit more comfortable with solid foods.
Make sure you always keep an eye on the little guy or girl while they are learning to eat solid foods. It never fails that they always will try to cram 90 millions pounds of food in at once.
Good luck though.

My daughter did not like the Gerber foods for toddlers very much. And they can get expensive. Try mashed potatoes, Green beans, Corn, etc. Really anything that you each…cut in little tiny bites and mixed together in a bowl lol. For instance, if you having steak, potatoes, and broccoli…cut the steack extremely small, cut the broccoli extremely small, mash the potatoes up a little, and maybe pore some kind gravy over it all and give thema spoon…and let them go at it! This way, they learn to eat everything you eat and not be too picky! Good luck!

I just feed my baby whatever the rest of us are eating. Last night he had chicken fettuccine alfredo, broccoli and garlic bread. Tonight he had sloppy joes, potatoes and green beans. Of course I had to cut it up into tiny pieces, but he seems to enjoy being a “big boy” He’s 11 months old. I used “Gerber Graduates” with my first two children, but with my last two children, I’ve gone straight from mashed squash and rice cereal to hamburgers on the grill. It has worked well.

Things that are soft, small in size and cannot be choked on. Boiled vegetables such as carrots and potatoes, small pastas like elbow macaroni and macaroni shells, diced fruits such as strawberries, bananas, and applesauce. SMALL amounts of meat cut up in very small pieces and very tender.

try real food. Veggies, fruit, chunks of cheese and meat. Babies are pretty amazing and will spit something out if they cant chew it.
Anything you eat as long as it isnt too spicy

get those gerber lil entrees. my kids LOVED them! theyre very healthy, no extra salt or sugar and theres a bunch of different kinds.
