Hii i have written on this board earlier about my baby....she is jsut refusing to eat smashed food she is 1 year 1 month now but only wants pureed food. She has good quantitiy of food in purreed form but the monent i give her anything smashed she jsut spits it out of the mouth and if at all she gulps it she throws up. I relly want her to get to the normal food like the everyday ghar ka khana but she is just not accpeting. I tried making a thick consistency but she still throws up she wants like properly purreed....i tried almost for a week but she is jsut refusing i feel so bad to keep her without food....shld i continue with purreed food and leave it upto her when she is ready to eat solid food or shld i continue giving her smashed food one bite of whatever in the whole day till she accepts it. Plzzzz advice me what to do i am going thru sleepless nites because of this. Suma replied. my kid, who is 22months old still has some purred foods. Give your child some more time. I too used to face the same problem. Now what i do is , i take 2/3 rds of her lunch and feed it in a purred form, and the rest leave it for her to have on her own. That way she learns how to eat on her own and even if she doesn' t finish the entire thing, i know that theres at least some thing in her tummy( the purred food that i fed earlier)
Make the transition slowly .... dont force it. Some kids take longer. My sis' kid had purred foods till he was 3!!! And that has not affected him in any way.
