hi ! my child is a really picky eater. i have no idea what to feed her during meal time as she refuses almost everything. i get so discouraged and dont' know what to cook and feed her. i have tried giving her our daily food that we eat, then for gerber jars she is too old. till date i cannot pin point if she likes more of sweet or salty foods. she just likes to feed herself and only those foods that can come between her tiny fingers. she is still not very good with feeding her self with the spoon yet. what do i do ? she has only 8 teeth and is quite underweight. any type of ideas r welcome here. please help !!! parvi replied. hi arti,
don't give up, i also face the same problem but i figurd out that she likes salty taste more so i try togive her khichdi(dal+rice+crushed wheat) which she likes, so what i do is make some veg. soup,puree it & add it to her khichdi....as she doesn't eat all the veg. but she likes carrots...so i saute the boiled carrot cubes which she can eat by herself....i hope it will help...u can also try to give her cheese mac....most of the bbabies like it though my daughter liked it initially but she doesn't like it anymore....keep trying...

My daughter just turned one. I am still giving her cereal and fruit (gerber)for breakfast. For lunch I make paratha with
really mushy vegetable( zucini, kadoo, spinach etc.) Sometime I make her khicdi with veggies,or dalia+dal+veggies
I think she is not yet ready to eat like us. I sometimes mash food with hand
blender. I still give her some stage 3 food. I give her smoothie in the evening.
If she wants to feed herself give her pieces of stuffed paratha, wheat bread
cheerios, fruit pieces, some baby snacks. Give her some salty food and then some sweet. Watch for her signs.
I hope this help. Let me know
