Baby Food

Question: 15 mos old still mainly eats babyfood?

My child will spit out just about any other type of more solid food and prefers the bottled kind. I make her fresh stuff and she spits it out. She will eat crunchy grainy things like cheerio's, rye crackers, etc. And she will occasionally eat a banana piece. But mostly she will either throw it on the ground or chew it and then spit it out. Is this bad? I keep thinking someday she will start eating more normal food. I mushed up a hardboiled egg the other day and put little bits of that in her baby food and she ate that, but that is about it. Oh, and I made some p- nut butter cookies the other day and she ate some of that, so she can swallow and chew, she just opts not to. I've tried giving her many kinds of foods and she spits them out. I think it is the texture. But I'm not sure how to overcome it.

If your child is only served the same food as the rest of the family, there won't be a problem. if you suspect there is an health issue, see the pediatrician.

I would start mixing the table food with the baby food...let her get used to the texture and taste. I have a feeling it is a texture thing for her. Try her on a p & j sammi, see if she will eat that. Maybe Cut up string cheese. Those Puffs are good but expensive. Heath food stores sell Monkey crunch cereal, kids love it. How about a quesidella ?
