My 1 year old will only eat puffs!

[Bethmxox]

I’m honestly at a loss with my little boy, he will turn 1 on Saturday and for last month the only thing he will eat is puffs , dry cereal or crackers.

ive tried just not offering them but he screams and cry’s for hours hungry unless he gets them, I’ve offered him eveything I can think off but he won’t touch a thing. He won’t let us anywhere near him with a spoon and cry’s and cry’s if he’s in his highchair now.

he was an amazing eater when we first weaned him and would eat any flavour at all ( pouches or blended food ) when he was 10 months we switched him to ‘ proper solids ‘ and he was doing really well but then one day woke up and just completely refused anything ever since. He won’t even look or touch anything but his preferred foods.

I’ve tried talking to our HV who just advised me to not offer them. He was sleeping through the night but now he’s up nearly every hour wanting a bottle and has also become very clingy and will now only sleep if I’m holding him. He won’t even go to his dad 😩

I’m just so worried about my baby and so tired I end up in tears most days. ( I also have pnd and am 6 months pregnant with baby no2 )

You need to change nursery . Seriously, where have you got the idea that you have to allow "everyone" to feed your baby sweets, biscuits and crisps?
It's quite disturbing.

My DS went through a phase like this. In his case, all he would eat was plain cheerios.

The doctor prescribed a vitamin plus iron supplement for him.

In the end, what got him eating again was McDonalds fries dipped in ketchup. This wasn't sustainable of course, but he moved from there to fish fingers and breaded chicken fillets, breakfast cereals with milk, mozzarella sticks, grilled ham amd cheese sandwiches - all sorts of bland and fried foods, along with grapes and slices of apple. Twas better than the cheerios.

He was never much of an adventurous eater and even still only eats a limited number of fruits and veg (aged 29).

YYY to this.

Doctors don't like to see a lack of weight gain. You feel very judged. People who haven't been there and bought the T-shirt have no idea how strong willed a toddler can be around food.

Some people on this thread just want to stick the boot in. They're little wheat puffs, made for small children, not syringes full of heroin.

There is a huge misunderstanding in this post about these snacks. These are snacks for specifically babies: such as puffs (corn, peas, rice) and baby biscotties. These has no added flavours, colouring or sugar. Very very different from the ones for adults. Babies get addicted to the texture, rather than flavour (it has no flavour at all, I tried them all). It's like giving a baby a plain rice cake.

As far as I understand, OP was asking about these specific snacks rather than the junk food, such as crisps and biscuits.
