Choosing what foods to give my baby

About 2 weeks ago Colin decided he was done eating purees.  He will surprise me every once in a while and still take a few bites but basically he is over it.  Cereal is still on the 'okay' list but I'm certain my time is running out with this one too.  So I'm having to be brave and let my baby try solid foods.  It's scary.

I worry he will choke or that he will take too big a bite and gag and then everything will come back up.  I worry about allergic reactions but mostly I worry that what I am putting in him is healthy and good for him.  So far he likes his veggies- peas, carrots, green beans, corn, and lima beans.  And fruits are hit or miss.  He likes pineapple, LOVE blueberries, oranges, and bananas.  Strawberries are a sometimes go and apples are interesting to gnaw on.  He likes yogurt but that is another puree like food and he has lost interest a bit.  And he LOVES cheese.  So there you have it- Colin's main foods he eats.  

What are other mamas suggestions for foods to branch out too and try at 8 months old?  I can't feed him banana and cheese every night!  And I don't want to feed him processed crap either.  So pass along your advice and give me some tips!
Today I'm linked up with Mama and Mou
Thank you!

  1. I highly suggest looking up information on baby lead weaning. It may help put your mind at ease about some things. Harper loved pasta from the first time she ever had it. I have made her some banana oatmeal bites that she loved too. I have the recipe on my blog if you want to check that out. Good luck!
