Hi ladies! Just thot I'd throw out my 2 cents wotrh - DD started with cottage cheese and avacado. I was looking for high fat foods since she wouldn't eat much.
She still loves them both. Meatballs are also a hit - I like to hide veggies in them.
You could also try macncheese or really any type of pasta. The idea is if they have dexterity to pick it up and put in their mouths they'll be ok - so we went with peas and raisins etc. at about 8 months. Oh, and scrambled eggs. I admit, I just give her mine - white, salsa and all! No history of allergies in our family and she loves 'em!
Oh - and I do a mom-feeding/BLW mix.
I also give her purees and discovered that she likes to suck on frozen cubes of puree. So, if she doesn't finish her yogurt/fruit/whatever in one meal I freeze the rest and she'll just eat the cubes later. She especially likes it when she's teething - which seems to be on going these days!
What's the "rule" about wheat? I made a wheat pasta dish and gave her some yesterday. Other than that I don't think she ate anything new yes. but was up all night with gas...
p.s. - I was helpfully giving DD thick slices of peach to hold onto but just discovered that she prefers getting a whole half at once! Love them peaches!
