He is my Nr 4.
He was BF to 13 months.
Weaned on my usual haphazard combination of purees/lumpy food/finger foods at 6 months.
He will take smoothies (commercial or homemade) or banana milkshake if offered in an open cup with a straw which means I have to hold things for him as I'd have to redecorate if I left him to it... Also smooth yoghurts sometimes work.
He will (sometimes) tolerate tomato sauce - either Dolmio kind of stuff or baby jar stuff or spaghetti hoops type crap
He has never ever taken a strawberry/raspberry/grape/piece of banana to his mouth - he has mashed them/thrown them/decorated the room with them, but that's it.
He used to allow me to spoon feed him, but no more - he is Mr Independent.
I am not too worried about him as he is the picture of health and is thriving just fine.
But I don't understand what's going on?? And is there anything that has worked for you if you had a colourful-stuff-refuser?
BTW my other three (8, 7, 3 years) were fed/weaned pretty much the same way and are all pretty good eaters - they have their foibles but are easy to cook for. I fully expected DS4 to be sharing family meals by now, but no....
