Okay so you would think that I would know what to feed a baby–but Noah was hard or easy you could say. Zoë is hard because she is a bit picky and seems to prefer a variety of foods, whereas Noah could eat the same thing all day long.
Zoë wants lots of different things and she likes to graze–eat about every hour. I know she’d sleep through the night (or would wake up less) if she was eating more solid food. Please Internets give me some great self-feeding baby food. She insists on feeding herself the majority of the time. She’ll let me feed her yogurt and cottage cheese, but everything else she must do herself.
I need some ideas. HELP
Embracing Imperfection 
I have always prefered that my kids feed themselves so here’s the things I have given all my kids. Bake a sweet potato and cut into cubes, peas, blueberries (frozen or fresh), banana, green beans, toast cut up into cubes, cheese (when they are old enough), egg yolk (babies can have it before the whites which isn’t until 12 mos.), noodles, sometimes I take the big chunks out of soup like the veggies, beans and noodles, beans, cereal, crackers. These are the things to start with and then before I know it they are eating everything we eat at each meal. Super messy but way more fun!

Coming out of lurkdom – I think I have some ideas on this one! Trying to think of calorie dense things to fill her up!
Beans, goldfish crackers, cubes of semisoft cheese (like monterrey jack), tofu cubes, pieces of bananas (not too much – they get mushy fast), tiny bites of cheese or nut butter or soy butter sandwiches, peas, rice cakes, small pasta, bites of peach, apricot, plums; berries, bites of pita with hummus or other spread. Do you think she’d eat injera? My daughter wasn’t eating much solids when she came home, but still adores injera and ethiopian lentils.
Good luck – she’ll be eating like the rest of you before you know it.
