My lovely, healthy dd is 13 months old and has won't put food in her own mouth. She's bitten rice cakes on a few occassions but seemed disgusted. She won't eat bread/ rusks/ steamed carrots/ soft fruit even if dipped in favourites like yoghurt. She'll just bat them away. She's fine with lumpy food-off a spoon, of course, and drinks well. But if she gets food on her fingers she'll complain and put the hand out for me to lick, but won't lick it herself. I am very encouraging and have eaten plenty of rice cakes myself to encourage her! I even offered chocolate buttons which she bit and refused and then fed to me!!! She has always been quite strong willed and decisive and I don't think there is anything wrong with her. But I wish she'd pick something up herself. Any advice?
