I have started feeding my daughter hot dogs, chicken nuggets-Dr. said is good to get some meat in-bread, bagels, eggo waffles, freeze dried fruits and I have also bought a big bag of frozen fruits that I'll thaw out a little and chop up for her to eat. These are the newest additions, as well as all the normal stuff. She loves everything!

My two loved toast fingers, baby biscuits, well anything actually. I try to get my kids eating basically what we do so my april baby boy doesn't get any jars of baby food but rather toast, weetabix, sandwiches, eggs, sausage rolls etc for breakfast or lunch and whatever I make for dinner he has (stew, chicken, mild curry, pasta). He loves to eat himself so I try to feed him things he can pick up although dinner is always fed by me.

I feed my son what ever we are eating with less seasoning. Rice, he loves. I started him on brown rice because it is more healthy. Have you seen those things that look like a little net pocket on a handle? In the baby dishes aisle. Those are good too, I put frozen whole fruit (berries, melon anything you can get at the store frozen) in it and then he can suck and chew on it and get the juice but can not choke on the whole fruit. It is really handy for teething. Sounds like your little one eats about the same as mine and they are about the same weight. He was not early but had a delay in growth with being sick. The rest of the posts here have really good advice too.

My boy is an April baby too (27th) Congratulations on getting her to eat!
For some snack foods, we love Gerber 'yogurt melts' They are the same texture as a candy marshmallow in kid's cereal, but they are made of yogurt. He loves the strawberry. They melt down to nothing really fast. He's a junkie.
They also sell these little cans of snacks, they look like cheetos, but they are covered with a different powder. They come in apple cinnamon, that's my boy's favorite. There are two other flavors, but he gives those to the doggie. The apple ones are too good to share.
He learned to love blueberry muffins from his daddy. Every morning I find him and daddy sitting in the recliner sharing a muffin while daddy drinks his coffee. Daddy gets a bite, JC gets a bite.
His gramma gives him sugar wafers. They are soft enough, they do break down, he loves them dearly, but because of the sugar and carb content, I really stay on granny about this. But he does love them :)
On the canned vegetable isle in your grocery store, look and see if they have vegetables in little single serve cups. They come packaged like applesauce cups, but there are carrots and corn and peas.... He loves the carrots. I can pour off the water, dump the cup out on his tray and he will play sing and eat for about 20 minutes.
They have also started packing fruit like this too. The little cups of peaches are wonderful. He snacks on that a lot too.
I'd love to see what other snacks you come up with, please do share what you learn!

my son is eating 3 jars of baby food and 1/4 cup of baby cereal a day plus he is drinking 4 6oz formula bottles and 1-2 6oz dialuted juice bottles..... for alot of babies it takes numerous times for them to get to like a certain food do not give up keep trying to give your baby the foods she won't eat cause she will eventually like most of them
