Having a hard time feeding DS who is 9 months
My DS will hardly eat pureed food anymore....he wantas the real stuff 
We had chicken last last....and the only way he ate it is if I put tiny peices on his highchair tray. Is this normal at this age?
What other foods can I give him that he can feed himself with? Oh, and he only has 5 teeth.
TIA

DS is 9 months and is the same way!
He WILL eat the baby food but wants table food more.
We give him
-soft broccolli
-soft pasta
-peas
-beans
-small pieces of chicken
Basically everything we eat just small pieces

Re: Having a hard time feeding DS who is 9 months
My DH stopped eating baby food around 8 or 9 months. I just cut up everything small and put it on their trays. The only thing they eat off a spoon is oatmeal, yogurt, and applesauce.

Oh wow....
Can you give me an example of what she ate for breakfast and dinner? I am not a huge fan of the kitchen and just started preparing meals for DH and I, so any advice given is greatly appreciated

Re: Having a hard time feeding DS who is 9 months
yup...DD is 9 months and it's getting harder to feed her. She has 7 teeth, so she eats a lot of table food. Her new fav is pasta (i cute up whatever i am making) with sauce and parm cheese! I also find that she likes "real" food - like a baked sweet potato that i mash for her, etc. We tried giving her pureed green beans last night and she took one spoonful and made a horrible face and wouldn't eat any more of it. I think at this point they are ready to eat real food anyway - just makes it a little more challenging when deciding what to feed them

Re: Having a hard time feeding DS who is 9 months
DS is the same way. We are finishing up any babyfood we have. He only wants table food now. He won't eat baby food. He'll eat oatmeal, soup & yogurt from a spoon.
We give him:
-cold cuts (turkey, ham)
-cheese
-chicken
-pasta
-potatoes (fries)
-veggies
-waffles
-pancakes
and pretty much everything we eat

Does your DS like yogurt? DD gets this for either breakfast or lunch every single day - she loves it! I put the baby cereal in it to thicken it. She also likes the jarred oatmeal w/ fruit, her favortie is rolled oats & apples. I am also going to start with pancakes and waffles soon, too. Also - every time either me, my mom, or MIL makes soup, we give her that too - she loves it! Even ate lentil soup last week and devoured every drop!

it was a long time ago but I know she loved (and still does) pancakes, waffles, eggs with cheese (not sure if 9 month olds can have eggs so check with the ped)
for lunch - cold cuts, cheese, yogurt, tons of fruits and veggies

Re: Having a hard time feeding DS who is 9 months
Sean is the same way recently - He's 8 months, but only has his 2 bottom teeth !! -
I give him cheerios, pancakes, cheese, pasta,
He still eats the baby food, but isn't thrilled w/ it -
I'm having a hard time figuring out what I can give him w/ only 2 teeth !!
I tried a mashed up meatball the other day, he was NOT happy w/ that -  He doesn't like pastina either - What kind of Italian is this kid anyway ????

Chloe hated pastina and I found it waaay too messy. She does love ditalini and the little shells though.
Her favorite foods right now are cheese and green beans.

Re: Having a hard time feeding DS who is 9 months
Dylan is 9 months also and getting bored with baby food. I've given him grilled cheese, yogurt, chicken soup and bits of whatever we eat. I want to try waffles, pancakes and eggs. I heard something about just giving them egg yolks but I have to ask the dr. He has 4 teeth and a bunch coming in.

Re: Having a hard time feeding DS who is 9 months
I have a food thread I will bump for you. My kids were having a mixture of table food and purees at that time. Don't be scared to make your own purees and make them thick. Then just put piles on his tray-messy but my kids love it. They have mashed potatoes, butternut squash, etc
