Baby Food

Question: Is it unhealty for babys on solid food to eat canned baby food all the time?

My 9 month old wont eat real food, i was just wondering if eating baby food only would be unhealthy for her.

Nope. It is perfectly fine. I wouldn't start her on table food for another month anyway. If you are really worried try Gerber fruit puffs. They dissolve right in their mouth. Also, they sell these mesh bags that you can put fruit in and it teaches them to chew. It worked wonders for my kids.

I think this is perfectly normal. It takes babies a while to get used to eating to begin with and then when they do they get used to that. My children didn't start eating "regular " food until close to their 1st b-day and even then it was only small pieces from my plate. Just keep trying to offer little bites from you plate at dinner and don't worry or stress, your bay will get there! I don't think that only canned baby food is bad.

It's okay but baby needs to get chewing soon. Have you tried mashing vegies really well...make it lumpier as time goes on. Bits of toast for brekky. Mashed banana. Don't fall into the trap of taking skins off, pipping seeds, cutting off crusts...they don't choke that easily.
