Which isn't too bad, that's three food groups right there, but I wish he'd eat cooked veg! He'll also eat spiral pasta, dry cheerios, and sometimes bits of chicken. He's nearly 9 months.
Do your babies like all the food you give them?

I'm glad you have posted this. My DS only really likes bread (inc pancakes, scones and bagels), cheese and fruit. He will eat some veg (squash and sweet potatoes) if he's in the mood, and is very fond of chips .

I'm offering as many different things as I can and hoping something else clicks.

mine really liked a bit of quiche the other day
He hesitated and gave a funny look to a samosa but then stuffed it in as usual

Don't think there's really been anything he has totally discarded (sorry - not hwat yo want to hear) but after having the fussiest eater in the world (DS1) I just keep on offering everything, eveb if he hasn't eaten the last time I gave it!

Lulu I'm glad mine isn't the only one! I'll keep offering different things too I guess.

Snap - I've only been able to get vegetables into DD now 11 months through pasta sauces except chips (only when on holiday). I've tried sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots "chipped" i.e. roasted all lovingly thrown on the floor by my DD.

DD lives off pasta, bread, cheese and fruit. I have given countless numbers of foods to DD countless number of times to no avail. She is still BF so hoping whatever vitamins lacking in her diet she is getting through milk.

I think at 9mos it's not worth worrying over too much, as if they still BF, then the early soilds are still only intended as a supplement to milk anyway.

Just keep on trying and eventually they'll cotton on and like it, so long as you don't make a fuss over it. I always (even when getting annoyed) remained neutral about what the did or didn't like, but made it obvious that I was enjoying it. They eat everything now.
