I have a problem, my nine month old baby, refuses to eat baby food. She also refuses to drink more than a couple of ounces every few hours of formula. My other babies also would not eat baby food, but they did fine with table food. This baby, seems to have a problem with choking. Things that I could feed my other babies, this baby is having a hard time with. I do feed her oatmeal everyday for breakfast, but I am in need of some good pasta recipes to supplement the fruit/vegetables that I give her. Does anyone have any suggestions? Other than spaghetti? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

I don't know if this will help, but it was right around 9 months when my son discovered the joys of ravioli and tortellini. (He still loves them.) I boil them up in large batches and then save the precooked pasta in single serving containers/baggies. They are great finger foods, easy to chew/break down, come in meat and cheese-filled and don't make a big mess when served without sauce.

I found that mine liked the noodles and stars from chicken noodle soups. So I cooked these in homemade soup. It was just enough flavoring for them to like it.
We never bothered much with commercial baby food. Some things were convenient, but for the most part, I cooked and pureed fruits and vegetables and then froze individual servings in single serving containers or small baggies. When they were ready for meat, I found that it was no trouble to chop it with a food processor.
We never had much of a following for ravioli. They don't seem to like cheese except when it covers a pizza. (They are teens now)
