I am just wondering what type of 'adult' food i shuld be feeding my 8 month old daughter. I have not really been giving her to much a little bit here and there but i am just wondering what type of adult food i can start bringing to the babysitter.|||Mash a favorite vegetable or meat with a fork. Use a potato masher for foods like bananas, cooked apples, winter squash, white or sweet potatoes, and carrots. Try yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, or cooked egg yolks. Make sure the food has no big lumps, pieces of skin, seeds or strings.
Consider These Baby Food Safety Tips:
Don't add salt, sugar or seasoning to baby foods. Foods that taste bland to an adult are new taste experiences to babies. And, there is enough natural sodium in foods to keep baby healthy.
Don't give honey or corn syrup to a baby less than 1 year old. They may carry botulism spores that can make babies sick.
Don't make baby foods out of leftovers--they are less nourishing and may be contaminated. Use only fresh or frozen food.
Raw eggs and unpasteurized, or raw milk are not safe for babies; they can cause infections.
Don't give your baby chunky foods such as corn, nuts, popcorn, seeds, or coarse-textured foods such as crumbly cookies. These foods are hard for a baby to eat and can cause choking. Grapes and round pieces of hot dog are especially dangerous.
It's OK to serve foods cold. Most babies don't mind. If you want to warm baby food, do it just before serving.
Fruits for Baby Finger Food - be sure to take out seeds!
Fruits make great baby finger foods! Colorful and highly nutritious, small soft bits of fruit will have your baby's fingers pinching away for hours!
* soft baked peaches - diced
* small dices of ripe banana
* small bits of ripe mango
* dices of ripe pears
* small dices of melon
* small bits of avocado
* squished blueberries
* kiwi - diced small (seeds should be ok for baby over 10 months old)
* small dices of mixed fruits for a "finger fruit salad
Baby Finger Food Veggies- make sure veggies are cooked soft, peeled and de-seeded as needed!
Like Fruits, Veggies make great baby finger foods!
* soft baked sweet potato dices or sweet potato fries (see below for recipe)
* soft baked white potato dices
* small dices of soft cooked carrots
* small dices of soft cooked peas
* small dices of soft cooked broccoli
* small bits of soft cooked green beans
* small bits of soft baked butternut or acorn squash
* small dices of soft cooked veggies mixed for a "veggie finger medley"
keep in mind that your baby should only be offered finger foods that are soft, easily mashed and age appropriate!

Just no choking foods like raisins and peanuts, and no allergens like shellfish etc.|||She can eat anything that she is physically able to eat. (Except honey.) If there is no history of allergy, (personal or family) it is no longer considered necessary to avoid allergins routinely.
So, depending on her ability to self-feed, you could send along mashed or cut up foods of almost any type -- fruits, veggies, meats (cut up regular meat VERY small), eggs, cheese, pasta, crackers, toast, rice, low-sugar adult cereals, and so on.|||My doctor gave me a list of foods that were good for 8-9 month olds. It included:
-Low sugar cereals (i.e. cheerios, chex)
-Soft fruits cut up in small pieces (i.e. peaches, pears....if canned the kind in it's own juice, not the sugary syrup)
-crackers (graham or saltines...plain or with cheese spread)
-toast (preferably whole wheat)
-those Gerber Graduate puff things
-soft veggies (i.e. cut up cooked carrots, mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes)|||I was giving her bread cut into small pieces, diced fruit, finely chopped chicken breast, frozen peas and carrots (had to cut the carrots down a little), shredded cheese, cheerios, sometimes a whole wheat fig newton cut into little pieces, puffed kashi cereal, gee- anything really. Sometimes fruit is slippery and they can't pick it up yet but I would spoon feed it to her and she loved it. Now she's 10 mo and I have pretty much stopped buying jars, unless I need them for convenience.|||scrambled eggs, toast (in small pieces), dry cereal, mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese (while supervised of course). bits of crackers w/peanut butter, soft friuts or melon, cooked veggies like green beans, carrots, peas, etc.
anything that is a tad on the soft side and easy to hold, small bites.|||When my daughter was 8 months (she is 10 months now) she was eating crackers, toast, mashed potatoes, french fries, peas, green beans, beans, noodles...she is 10 months now and eats nearly everything we eat at our meals, she also has 6 teeth.|||My almost 8 month old just discovered waffles and loves them! He also eats cheerios, gerber puffs, well-cooked pasta (especially with sauce), chicken, rice, turkey, hamburger, bread, - whatever we're eating. As far as the sitter goes, she feeds him cereal, breast milk, fruits, vegetables, water in a sippy cup, and cheerios.|||Low sugar cereals
