What do you feed your LO?

Thank you!

Then throw baby food in the yogurt. That's how we started. That may be the best way to start anyways.

He hasn't actually eaten any fruits raw. It's always been made into baby food but he eats them!

My lo reacted to citrus in my bm. Do you think he would be able to handle it as a solid? I haven't eaten fruit since December. Almost ready for BLW.

If he's has the fruits before then yes, chuck them in. He may actually like the yogurt plain. My daughter did when she was that age. We usually do blue berries, strawberries or banana but melons would be good too. Also if it's getting hot where you are you can freeze mushed fruit in cubes and toss them in a mesh feeder as a frozen treat to munch on and cool down. Those are really yummy when you add yogurt. You could put them in Popsicle molds but that always made them too big but also made me a little nervous.

Anything I eat, ds eats. I just break it/cut it into manageable pieces for him.

Just like anything new you give you should wait a couple of days before introducing anything new just to make sure there's no allergies. I didn't give strawberries or melon until he was around 10 months just because they can be a little tough. As long as they are good and ripe and cut into manageable you should be good to go.

This is my second child and I feel completely clueless. When DD was little her ped just told me to try everything. I feel like I did things wrong with her ?

What about berry fruit ? Like strawberries blueberries blackberries or melon?

With meats I started by shedding up chicken into little pieces. My daughter loved it. She's 20 months and now loves chicken. For the yogurt we used whatever whole milk yogurt we could find. We buy an organic one. I suggest using an unsweetened one and adding cut or mushed fruit for sweetness.

I've given shredded chicken and also bits of ground beef. When you give yogurt stay away from the baby yogurts. They're full of sugar. Get a whole milk plain yogurt and add pureed fruit for sweetness. ?

Cubed steamed sweet potato

Cubed steamed butternut squash

Cauliflower

Avacado

Purple carrot steamed

Have you done any shredded up meats?

We don't have any family history of dairy allergies. When I did DD on yogurt I didn't realize how much sugar is in the gerber baby yogurt. What brand should I go with?

We did pasta a little later but if baby likes texture that's a great option just break it up into little pieces. Yogurt is great as long as your child is okay with lactose. My daughter is a yogurt hog lol.

Skatelate he actually never cared for it being thin, we have always done chunkier baby food with him. Is yogurt okay? What about pasta?

That's pretty much what my daughter had. Maybe purée the food a little less and allow baby to start getting use to chunkier food so you can work toward more solid solids

We are venturing away from purées and going more towards blw. She eats a lot of what we eat, with the exception of high allergy stuff. I've read mixed reviews on that.

At 8 months my LO loved slices of avocado,bananas, steamed broccoli, and cauliflower. He hated purées and did great with BLW.
