DS is 11 months and he won't eat veg/pasta/potato/rice or meat with dinner (he only eats ham in a sandwich). Basically he won't eat any dinner stuff except if we have garlic bread/naan bread/pitta bread/yorkshires with it, he'll eat those.
I'm stressing out that he's only going to eat weetabix and sandwiches for the rest of his life.
He will eat anything, if there's a blueberry on it. So a spoon full of mash, he won't eat, but if he can see there's a blueberry he will. Same with any other foods. We've done this for the last two dinners, sometimes missed a blueberry on that spoon and so he's managed to eat a few mouthfuls without a blueberry. Then yesterday I cut the blueberries in half so there would be less flavour of blueberries and more of the veg. As well as missing a blueberry out every now and again when he started not looking at the spoon for a blueberry. At least he's actually getting the taste now so in hoping he'll one day accept spoonfuls without blueberries? If I don't put a blueberry on he won't open his mouth and turns away for literally every dinner type food. He does hold food and eat it himself like cucumber, any fruit, sandwiches etc. and will take weetabix/yoghurt from a spoon. So he will take food from a spoon.
How do I get him to eat dinner food? Is he always going to not eat dinners? Or is it slow and in 6 months he will be eating dinner food? How do I make that happen?
Do I keep with the blueberries but gradually make them smaller and smaller til he can't taste them and is only tasting dinner food, then stop with the blueberries? If I should just stop with the blueberries how do I make him eat anything dinner wise?
He eats really well for breakfast (eg 1 weetabix and 1 banana) and lunch (eg 2 slice sandwich with cheese, Apple, yoghurt, cucumber) it's just bloody dinner food!
Help! Please!
Thank you.
