    Have you tried bits of scrambled egg or cheese? Both are great sources of protein. When DS was that age he had a hard time chewing some types of meat, so we tried to go with softer stuff. He really developed a liking for fish. Also, maybe try organic,

    Cheese, yogurt, eggs, beans, even tuna are all great sources of protein. Our Ped told us that meat isn't necessary every day. Just keep putting it on his plate cut in different ways or different noodle types (DD2 will only eat macaroni, penne, and shell n

    I was having the same problem where one of my twins would not eat any solids except purees at a year so I waited to transition off formula until she was eating solids on a regular basis and getting plenty of nutrients (which honestly took until 14 months)
