DD still picky. When was ur DC REALLY on all table foods?

LipstickLibrarian · June 2009

What age when your LO finally transitioned to all table foods? DD won't even eat the Gerber Graduates pastas & stuff. And I have tried offering her a lot of food - lots of variety and certain things that are 'common' baby finger foods (like cheese, pasta, etc.) I've offered numerous times and she just won't eat them. Since she won't have a puree unless she's very hungry, her diet is limited. What she eats isn't necessarily unhealthy, but the variety is seriously lacking. Are we behind the normal transition age or is this still typical for a (almost!) 12 month old?

nine months.

we never did stage three purees. she went on a spoon strike and won't let a spoon near her--- that she isn't controlling since.

DS is just over a year and he still eats puffs, Gerber Graduates occassionally, vegetable purees with pasta. Other that that stuff he eats what we eat. He doesnt like being fed with a spoon unless it is yogurt or something that he REALLY likes.

Alaina ran out of purees 2wks ago and I just didn't replenish them so I had to find things for her to eat. She pretty much didn't like any of it but a few faves did surface (yogurt, toast w cream cheese, chicken breast, peas, carrots, cheese sticks, kashi bars, and bananas) I sort of did what I could with those and keep trying new things as I can. She seemed fine (still had an abundance of energy and sttn and pooped and peed like normal).

Just yesterday I broke down and bought her several jars of veggie purees again (stage 2 because they don't seem to do just veggies in a stage 3 and when they mix the veggies with thier meat in stage 3 it really tastes gross) because I really want her to have things like spinach, green beans, sweet potatoes etc and she doesn't eat them when I make them!! I don't want her to lose the taste for them yanno?

Honestly, he's only really gotten into eating table foods since over 13 months (he's 15 months now). We never did baby food or Gerber Graduates, just whatever grown-up food we've made for him. He's fairly picky even now, but he'll always eat fruit and bread or crackers.

He nurses, and still is, but was getting most of his calories from breastmilk. It's hard not to worry that they'll never eat, but toddlers are good at self-regulating, just keep offering her different options. He still has meals and days where he'll nibble at things, but then chow down at other meals. hth

10 months. Our DD eats everything and has a HUGE appetite.

DD is finally now doing all table foods and she is 15 months old. Before that it was quite the struggle. Lots of luck as the whole eating thing can be stressful!

She still isn't at 16+ months! At her 15 month appt I talked to our pedi about it and she wasn't concerned. My main question was about getting her to eat fruits and veggies that weren't purees. The pedi said she'd rather see her eat purees b/c at least she's getting the good stuff! So here are some of the things she might eat:

Breakfast: waffle/french toast/pancake/bagel, Stage 2 fruit, cheese stick

Lunch: slice whole wheat bread/bagel, Stage 2 veggie or fruit, sometimes Boar's Head deli meat, chicken breast nuggets

Dinner: sometimes what we're having, Stage 2 veggie or fruit, chicken nuggets, pasta with tomato sauce

The only solid veggie she'll eat is frozen peas, and the only solid fruit she'll eat is banana and frozen blueberries. She'll eat a lot of other solids but for some reason the chunky fruits and veggies freak her out. I'm not worried as long as she's getting them in some form. As the pedi said to us at the end..."It's your job to offer her a variety of healthy foods, and it's her job to decide what ones she'll eat."

12 months. Ds is just now eating only finger food and mind you, he still only has 2 teeth. He won't touch anything in a jar anymore and he is very picky. He basically eats the same thing all the time...Breakfast he has sliced bananas, and organic blueberry waffles. Lunch or dinner he has deli turkey cut thick, canned carrots (these are already sliced and soft I just warm them up), canned green beans sometimes, grapes, organic chicken nuggets. I have to cut everything very small since he only has 2 teeth still. But this is as far as our list goes...he doesn't like much else so far. He hates pasta, cheese, and yogurt. GL

Still waiting (14.5 months). My DS eats almost nothing. Every meal is a battle, we still give purees because even though I offer table food fruits/veggies every day, he has yet to put one in his mouth.

He still nurses a lot, too!

But he'll eat goldfish, bread, bagels, etc.

9 months for DS#1 and 7 months for DS#2. Only reason we did it so early with #2 is because with my morning sickness so bad, I couldnt stomach baby food. It all made me sick.

We jumped in with finger foods/table foods at 10 months and now that is all she eats. The only thing she will eat from a spoon is yogurt. I'm lucky though b/c DD will eat anything. There is not one thing since we started solids that she wouldn't eat.

At 9 months.

Emerson was exactly like Stella at that age. She never took purees, cerial, or oatmeal. I just kept offering the soft solids to her and she SLOWLY came around. By a year old she was doing much better and she's striclty on solids now-after skipping the purees and things that babies usually start with.

Keep the faith, she'll pick it up.

I would say by about 11 months. Occasionally he will let me give him applesauce or something of a similar texture, but otherwise he eats what we eat. He was slightly picky in the beginning but I just kept offering him different foods to try and eventually he just started eating everything. We never really did stage 3 type foods.
