My DS is 12 months old and has been a good eater since we started weaning at 6 months. He would eat both purees and finger foods, but recently - I'd say over the last 4 weeks or so - he won't eat anything from a spoon, not even yoghurt and he will only eat a very limited number of finger foods, which are:
Cucumber
Grapes
Raisins
Bread sticks
Toast - sometimes with cheese on
cheese spread sandwich if he is in a very good mood
Melba toast
Pasta shapes
peas, carrots, sweetcorn, green beans etc
I am getting worried that he will not be getting enough nutrients as this is so limited. I can sometimes get him to have the odd spoon of mushed up food such as chicken casserole or pasta sauces, but this is his only source of meat as he won't eat pieces of meat. DD was and is a really good eater so this is all a bit of a shock to the system!
I'm sure he would be happy to live on bread sticks and cucumber! If he doesn't like the look of something he just throws it on the floor. I have tried reducing his milk, but this had no effect.
On the plus side he does have plenty of energy, sleeps well and is on the 50th percentile for weight.
Does anyone have any ideas for more finger foods that would make up a good meal for a 12 month old? I'm worried that he will get bored of these combinations and stop eating all together!
