What table food do you give your DC under 1 year old?

I started giving my DS table food at dinner and now he kind of hates pureed baby food.

For dinner it hasn't been a problem as we eat pretty healthy dinners and I give him what we are eating. But for breakfast and lunch I kind of feel lost. Any suggestions and tips would be great. My DS is 9 months if that makes a difference. Thanks!

My little boy just turned 10 months and Ive given him Eggos (they have a "simply eggo" that has no additives), plain yogurt and we squeeze a pouch into it, toasted bagel w/ butter (we keep a close eye on him when he eats this but he LOVES it), scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, strawberries and sometimes dry cereal (but he's not a huge fan). I try to bake a small sweet potato every other day and mash that up so I have it on hand too. Im happy he's not a fussy eater (at least not yet...lol)

EVERYTHING,

I haven't found a table food that she doesn't eat...the only thing I stay away from still is eggs, peanuts, berries, and oranges (citrus) I feel like i remember all those being post 1 yr

Breakfast we do - Cheerios, pancakes or the inside of a bagel, cheese, grapes (cut in 6 pieces or so), or whatever fruit we have on hand (nectarine, plum, apple, pineapple, etc)and a jar of fruit + oatmeal in one baby food

Lunch - I have given chicken from night before...or a chicken nugget cut up and Mac and cheese If that what her brother and sister are having, plain pasta, more fruit (whatever we have), cheese, yogurt if I didn't give at breakfast, and 1 jar of veggies

Dinner is whatever we have -chicken, rice, broccoli, carrots, potato, pasta, cucumber, fruit, (not all at once ) and a jar of veggie or fruit!

Se has an amazing appetite..she recently tried (and loved) pizza and Chinese food (chicken & broccoli and plain LO mein)

All this at 9.5 months!!!!! She is a maniac!

Thanks for the responses!! My DS likes everything also... and it makes him really happy when he eats table food. That's why I think he is starting to reject his pureed food.

This is going to sound gross... but I have given my DS corn, peas, carrots and I noticed it in his poop- meaning he didn't digest it. Should I continue to give him the puree veggies so he gets more of the nutrional value?

at 9 months, pretty much everything we would eat, except peanut butter, seafood, steak.

She loved (and still does) everything!!!

Some of her favs: meatballs, all fruits and veggies especially spinach pancakes, roasted chicken, shredded cheese

At 9 months DS was pretty much completely off purees, unless you count those pouches. For breakfast he would have a whole wheat waffle, yo baby yogurt, banana, kiwi, mango, cheerios, puffs, yogurt melts, a fruit pouch, cinnamon applesauce.

lunch- leftovers from dinner (salmon, chicken, tilapia, sweet potatoes, peas, cauliflower, broccoli, cous cous, soup, chili, pasta, etc.), string cheese, yo baby yogurt, annie's mac and cheese, organic chicken nuggets, turkey meatballs, lentils, avocado, all types of fruit, he loved gnawing on a frozen whole wheat bagel, applesauce, the kid has always loved to eat!
