if DC ate purees after 1 year old, how long did it last?

DS almost refuses to eat solids.  He'll only eat puffs, crackers, and cheerios with any consistency.  As far as other solids like ham, chicken, pasta, peas, etc., he'll take 3 bites at most then refuse to eat the rest or he spits it out then throws it on the floor.

He'll gladly eat puree foods though.  I keep offering the solids but he just never wants them.

Any other suggestions on how to get him to eat solids?

    I made all of DD's babyfood (pureed it in the food processor). I just gradually made it chunkier and chunkier. Maybe you could try that?

    DD has 16 teeth and still doesn't love ham - I think it's hard for her to chew.

    Does he feed himself? I'd keep offering him a variety of textures on his plate (even if you feed him) and eventually he'll get used to the idea. Some kids are very finicky about texture, but DD never was.

    GL!

    DS hates food with mixed textures.  He gags on it.

    He loves ham.  He eats his apples & ham puree like it's ice cream, and daycare said they fed him regular ham and he ate it there, but last night MIL tried to feed it to him and I tried today and he throws it.

    He does feed himself.  He eats cracker sticks and cheerios w/ no problem.

    Thanks for your ideas, though.

    It was the only way he would eat veggies until I would say 18-19m or so. Then he started refusing those too - which is too bad, because there is virtually no veggie intake at this point.

    I wish I had better news for you... DD refused solids other than cheese and grains. We continued to feed her purees until she was about 18 months old. Even then, she would refuse "chunky" baby foods. At 3, she still doesn't eat any fruit, veggie or meat...?

    my girl was 14 months before she really took to solids and I was told it was NOT a big deal by the dr and other mommies :)
