Done with Purees??

artygirl

For the past 5 meals, Lucas has been refusing purees and has only wanted finger foods.  I don't have a problem with that, but I'm just wondering if this is just a phase or if it's more likely to be permanent.  If/when your LO started refusing purees, when did they do it?

I was just about to post this same question.  We are out of town, so I'm giving Caroline Earth's Best purees, instead of her normal homade purees...and she is NOT happy. 

All she wants to eat is finger foods...and I don't exactly have much to offer her.  She's had greens puffs, sweet potato puffs, blueberries and bananas, lol.  She cries and fusses after a few bites of purees, and refuses to take any more...but will gobble down banana or blueberries like she is starving. 

I'm guessing it a texture thing, because I make her babyfood a lot chunkier than the store bought stuff...but if she still acts this way after a few days at home, we are gonna be done with purees too, and just go to all finger foods.

Once DD could effeciently eat table foods, purees were to annyoing to her and she never looked back.

Same thing happened with us.  Once Stella could feed herself and got a taste of our food, she was pretty much done with purees.  Occasionally she'll eat them, but only if there is plenty of table food to eat along with it.

Garrison stopped eating purees at about 9 months.  Now she will eat apple sauce and yogurt again but for the most part still prefers things she can hold and eat herself.

Oh gosh, ana ate purees for mmaaaybe a month when she decided she liked finger foods better. I made maybe 1-2 batches and that's it. It's likely that he won't go back to wanting purees. 

Katen did the same thing around 7mos. She was totally done with purees.
