Food for 10 month old

[Meenah]

WHat are you feeding your kiddos at 10 months? Oliver loves food and trying to feed himself, but Amy is really paranoid about introducing new foods. I told her I would post here for suggestions. She is giving him yogurt, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, etc. along with the jarred stage 2 & 3 foods. I know the guidelines are different now, because when she was that age I remember letting her suck on a BBQ Rib!!!!! I figured she couldn't choke on it. She said she was told no citrus/tomatoes until after 12 months. I'm sure I was giving her pasta with tomato sauce at 10 months. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

My ped told me that since we didn't have any food allergies on either side of the family we could give A pretty much whatever as long as we introduced things one at a time in case there was a reaction. So at that age we did a lot of different fruits and vegetables and baby food. I hadn't heard the citrus/tomato thing, I know A had both before she was 1.

By 10 months I was getting much more relaxed on food restrictions. And that's coming from someone who didn't do dairy or wheat until age one! Between 10-12 months Eddy ate anything we ate pretty much, as long as it wasn't too salty or spicy and could be smashed. But chicken is perfect to let them eat right off the bone, because as you say they can't really choke! I remember I did a version of Jenn's Indian chicken, but with almost no hot peppers (but with plenty of garam masala and curry powder) and sometimes I'd do chickpeas instead of chicken. I'd let him self-feed pieces of chicken and tomato, and I popped chunks of smooshed peas (or chickpeas) and rice in his mouth.

Some stuff dude loved:

Stouffer's Spinach Souffle
canned Creamed Corn (with additional butter and a tiny bit of salt and pepper because really, that stuff is flavorless)
French Fries
chicken noodle soup
bits of cheese
mashed potatoes (they were like crack for him) (whole milk and lots of butter)
scrambled eggs (with cheese and made with whole milk added- remember we were trying to fatten him up!)
guacamole (not spicy)

We were heavy on the milk/cheese/eggs when we got him home because of the malnutrition thing so she can adjust at will.

ETA: WE met him at nine months and the Russians had him on oatmeal, soups, tea(!)- by the time we got back at 13 months he was on meat patties, whole wheat bread and chopped veggies

That's so funny! My mom told me that, about age 10 months, that was my favorite food.

Still like BBQ to this day...

At 10 months, DS's favorite food was teddy grahams.

With citrus and tomatoes I would just watch for diaper rash. Cora got cringe-worthy diaper rash from pineapple of all things.

Not to always bring up the wholesomebabyfood site, but that's the only way I would remember what we were feeding her at that age--we were still following that site and I was glad to have it.

At ten months the list of foods we were holding off on was getting pretty short, though! I remember it being a fun food age with the self-feeding and all.

Daegan didn't eat much at that age, but some of his first foods were lima beans and frozen peas....watched carefully in the beginning to make sure he didn't choke....but he still loves him some peas and beans (now edamame).

At this age, all my kids liked yogurt with smashed up tofu. really.
And I'd cut up some tofu and leave it on the high chair for them to crush in their hands and try to stuff in their mouths.
It was really their only non-dairy source of protein, since we have a vegetarian house.

At 10 months I was giving my kids pretty much whatever we ate, just cut up or smashed. Both my kids got terrible rashes from citrus (oranges, pineapple), so I try to stay away from those types of things.

Lots of cheese, cottage cheese, yogurts, soft fruits and cooked veggies, shredded raw fruits and veggies.

Tonight we had dinner at MIL's house and she gave DS#2 (14 mos.) sloppy joes, corn, and a generous serving of ice cream with hot fudge sauce.

We literally just bookmarked this page today. We are only at 5.5 months but this site seems to be very helpful with food at the different stages. E just tried avocado today and seemed to enjoy it. I guess I really have nothing to add.

Have fun changing that diaper.

My kids loved beans (and they're so easy and transportable). We did a bunch of what was mentioned. The no tomatoes issue is that they're really high in histamine naturally (I'm assuming citrus might be too?...Strawberries fall in the same category.) so kids end up rashy and it's hard to tell if it's really a reaction or not.

Thanks everyone, I'll share all of this info with her!
