refuses all solids

Jacqi215 · March 2019

Hello,
I was just wondering if any had a similar situation and could hopefully tell me it gets better! My son will be 1 year old in two weeks and hates almost all foods. The only things he will eat are baby oatmeal, puffs, hummus and cheese. I have been trying everything since he was 5 months old every day and he hates everything. He will not eat any purees, does not like fruit, meat, literally I have tried everything and he refuses. I went to feeding therapy and the suggestion was to cut up everything I eat for dinner and give to him on his high chair, which I have already been doing every day for 6 months! He was born at 36 weeks and is very tiny, but very healthy and has met all milestones.

Just wanted words of encouragement or suggestions!

Thank you!

Does he like yogurt? My pediatrician told me that most babies are like this around his age because they are still teething but yogurt is a good source for a meal since it has everything babies need like calcium. Also, it's totally normal for him to be extremely picky. I have a few friends that went through the same thing.

Just keep being persistent and try different fruits and veggies and a mix of purees. There are baby puree recipe books that have yummy ones for them.

Or try like a watermelon and strawberry puree and freeze some in popsicle molds. It will not only give him a serving of fruit, but the cold will help with his gums.

Good luck!

What I suggest is, whatever you little one eats, add in some chia seeds in powder without him knowing.. there is lots of nutrients in there. And give it a bit of time. My nephew is turning 1 next month and he doesn’t eat little pieces and still eats purée . It’s normal
