XP: So my 2 year old won't eat solids.

I know this is partly dh and I's fault for babying her too much and giving her soft foods.  We are trying to stop this now.  She only eats oatmeal, cream of wheat, mashed potatoes, applesauce, you get the drift.  Basically, it has to soft and basically pureed before she will eat it.  Dr. said we have to give her solids and just make her eat it and if she doesn't, don't give her what she's used to.  Any other tips???  Thanks!

    gradually every 3-4 days make it thicker and thicker...add things like chopped chicken and chopped veggies etc...

    No child starved to death who had food available.

    It is so freeing when they will feed themselves whatever you cook for dinner. I can hand C and apple or pear or cheese stick etc...and she has a good time.

    I agree, gradually thicken it up.  Good luck!
