Hi everyone, was looking for some recipe ideas or advice. My son is 12 months in a couple of weeks and he's driving me mad with food. I tried BLW and it didn't go so well so I stuck to mainly purees and every now and then gave him finger foods.
He refuses a lot of foods unless blended. At the moment he hasn't had any solid food for a week (teething I suspect). But normally he will eat toast and butter, baby carrot puffs/mini rice cakes. He will happily eat a onefibre bar, biscuits etc. Not great I know .. but I wanted to see if he had an issue with textures/chewing and clearly it is not that.
If I give him mash or soft veggies, he just throws them on the floor. He wont eat scrambled eggs or omelettes, pasta or anything like that. He will eat food with chunks of carrots in etc but has to have a lot of sauce otherwise he will spit it out.
He likes lentils with tomato sauce and cheese, spag bol sauce but without the pasta, tuna pasta bake (blended). I try and put peppers peas, broccoli etc in these too so he's getting nutrients. He's ok with texture as long as it's in a sauce.
Is it normal to be so fussy still and still want food blended? Feel like everything gets wasted at the minute.
