Food texture issues

blushingbride_08

At My LO 12 month appt his pedi said I needed to introduce as many textures as possible in the next month or he would have issues with textures for 3 years. He was eating mostly pur?es at that time. Now I give him a variety of textures and he handles it well.  Did anyone else's pedi say anything about this "window" of introducing as many textures as possible.

Our pediatrician wanted DS mostly off purees by 9 months, and onto mostly table food. The early you introduce a wider variety of flavors and textures, the better off, I think.

I have never heard of that, and I doubt it would cause problems for that long in every child.  Some, of course, but I don't think you'll irrepairably damage your LO's eating habits if you don't do it all.  DD has texture issues and I just keep offering the same things.  A month ago she wouldn't even touch a mandarin orange, now she eats them like a champ.
