DD is eating everything savory Eames. She is drinking 20-25oz of formula daily, but she eats a lot of table food. She doesn’t have any teeth yet, but she chowed down on grilled chicken and zucchini tonight for dinner and then drank about 4-4.5oz of formula after that. She started feeding herself in the last 1.5 weeks, and now it’s like she doesn’t want anything that she can’t feed to herself. We’ve backed way off on the baby food because of that. I try to have something she can feed herself at each meal and also something that H or I feed to her.

orangehibiscus, we are self feeding over here too. In the last week or two we've moved away from purees because they just aren't as interested. I think they self feed at daycare and started at home while they were waiting for the spoon, I'd throw some puffs on their tray. We've been doing: Small bits of baked goods like pancakes, waffles, pumpkin bread, banana bread (I bake so not so much sugar) Scrambled eggs (they love these) or small bits of hard boiled Shredded cheese, recently they also tried cottage cheese Small pasta, rice, bits of tender meatball, etc. Well cooked veg like diced carrots, peas, corn Small pieces of soft fruit like strawberry, banana. DCP gives them like mango and papaya. Beans from chili or beans/veg/noodles/meat from soups when I make them. This is reminding me I need to start buying avocados again.

We’re doing all that same stuff Eames, except all the fruit. DD still isn’t a big fan. I still try to get her to eat it though. I’ve had more success getting DD to eat purées as long as she also has something she can feed herself.

Last night I made carnitas in the instant pot. It was sooo tender! The boys had small bits with avocado, shredded cheese, and tiny pieces of tortilla. Practically tacos, haha. I need to think up more meals like this, because everyone loved it.

N does pretty good with food if she’s in the mood. She’ll eat purées still, but prefers to feed herself now.
I let her feed herself some Greek yogurt and she loved it. She’s a big fan of meatloaf, shredded chicken, beans...pretty much everything. The meatloaf night, she ate more than my 4yr old.
