Good luck with the new foods! At her age she's old enough to make it through the night without being fed, but she might want the 'security blanket' feeling of eating baby food. Maybe hold a small amount of egg food in your hand for her to eat (in the evening, not in the middle of the night), and have some seed (or something) with it. A little bit of baby food will help meet her comfort needs, and not having enough to fill up on will encourage her to try other things. But please make sure to keep an eye on her weight - we don't want her to actually go hungry, with 'going hungry' defined as not meeting her calorie needs for the day. A little bit of hunger can motivate her to try new foods, but it's vital to keep up the calorie intake every day even if you have to give her baby food to accomplish it.
