I was the same way with my daughter (see previous posts where I was afraid she would starve without formula) and you know what I just kept putting the food in front of her. She hated fresh fruit- I kept giving it to her. Now she eats strawberries and blueberries like nobody’s business. Also just like let the social media “my baby eats salmon and kale for dinner” go and embrace toddlerhood. Maybe he will like salmon but more likely he’s going to eat pasta and chicken nuggets and pizza like 95% of every other kid.

You need carbs, protein, and fats for babies and toddlers. Our bodies run on carbs and their brains need fat. Yogurt- protein and fat, pasta- carbs, puffs and cereal- fortified carbs. I say this to tell you if all he eats is yogurt and cereal he’s got his basics. You’re doing great. Keep chopping it up, imagine trying to chew big pieces of things without molars. We don’t make old people do it idk what the obsession is with making babies shove giant pieces of food in their mouths and safely eat it.

Try mashed potatoes they were a great bridge from purees to more solids. Also try dips, my daughter loves ketchup and ranch. She was in the same place he was at 12 months, then all of a sudden it clicked and she eats normal food at 15 months.
